• He attributes his successes in many sports to his “school mentality“. Doing different things in a day, just like in school. He never liked doing just one thing. He likes the variety you get from doing several things.

• In school, he was dyslexic, couldn’t read and write, and was in special-ed classes for most of the time.

Mike O Hearn stating once again that he is natty

“You call me a Model but I am an Athlete.
I am the Undefeated American Gladiator Titan, Five time World Record holder, Judo Champion, Powerlifter Champion, Strongman Champion, and Four-time Mr. Universe who has also been welcomed into the Bodybuilding Hall of Fame.
An example of my power is at 272 lbs I can do 35 pulls up in 30 seconds and run 40 yards in 4.7 seconds.
Of all these titles my proudest achievement is that I’m a lifetime drug-free athlete.
I accomplish my goals through dedication, discipline, training and sheer will to achieve a higher level of me.”

Mike O’Hearn

Lifelong Tested Drug Free Athlete
Competing regularly in natural bodybuilding and powerlifting. O’Hearn must have been tested one way or the other. And I know that natural bodybuilders must pass a lie detector, which is virtually impossible to cheat.
