Psychology and Strength Sports
IronMind was founded in 1988 by Randall J. Strossen, a Stanford psychology Ph.D. with a longstanding interest in weightlifting and related strength sports. That year also marked the beginning of Strossen’s 12-year stint writing a monthly column for Iron Man magazine about the psychology of bodybuilding and weightlifting.
IronMind’s slogan, “Stronger Minds, Stronger Bodies,” reflects the company’s roots in sports psychology. It is also the subtitle of Strossen’s second book, a partial collection of his columns for Iron Man, published by IronMind in 1994.

With strength against those who would freeze my

would make me a cog in a machine, a thing with
one face, a thing,”
