Ripping Two Phonebooks for Feats of Strength Friday

Once again if you are unfamiliar with who I am, my name is Eric Moss. I have a personal training studio located on Main Street in Boonton. In addition to being a personal trainer I have a side business where I perform feats of strength as part of a live show.

With many things still in shutdown, I’ve pivoted to doing them on youtube to reach an audience that wouldn’t see this sort of thing.

Today’s feat is a classic that was performed by many of the strongmen of the Vaudeville era.

And btw, if you are in Boonton and are looking for personal training I invite you to give my one-week free trial membership a go and see if you think it’s for you. Just text me at 973 476 5328 with any questions.


Eric Moss is a world-record-holding modern-day professional performing strongman, author, motivational speaker, and personal trainer. In the tradition of the strongmen more common during the turn of the century, he performs feats of strength such as bending steel and breaking chains as part of a show and speaks on goal achievement for corporations, nonprofits, government as well as for schools and universities. His exclusive personal training studio is located on Main Street in Boonton New Jersey, is close to Mountain Lakes, Denville, Montville and Parsippany New Jersey.
