Owner of Elevate Interval Fitness David Magida | LotDR Episode 024

  • April 23, 2020

Welcome to the Legend of the Death Race Podcast, where you’ll hear the legends of past Death Racers, new and old.

In the twenty-fourth episode of the podcast, David Magida joins us to share his experience competing in the 2014 and 2015 Death Race. Magida has been an athlete for much of his life and after competing on the Spartan Pro Team for a few years was coerced into competing in the Death Race to prove that “pretty boys” can endure anything the race directors threw his way. After being called out by Joe De Sena and Don Devaney multiple times, David committed to proving them wrong. Tune in to hear his legend.

Somewhere along the way, masculinity got hijacked.

It was whittled down to something hollow. Loud. Fragile. A checklist of traits that have more to do with fear than strength.
Grow a beard. Listen to a Joe Rogan podcast. Lift heavy things. Never cry. Dominate the room. Talk over people. Never, ever admit weakness.
