Legendary bodybuilder and powerlifting champion C.T. Fletcher is showing his brotherly support by promoting a new book written by his brother, a premier strength and conditioning coach. Fletcher took to Instagram to share his enthusiasm for the publication, encouraging his followers to grab a copy.
Family Strength: The Fletcher Legacy
Fletcher described his brother as “A PREMIER STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH, ALSO AN ELITE BOXING TRAINER,” who has trained numerous professional athletes, ranging from boxers to basketball players. Beyond working with professionals, Fletcher highlighted that his brother has also trained “COUNTLESS EVERYDAY WORKING CLASS, MEN AND WOMEN” who simply want to, as Fletcher puts it, “BE READY SO THEY DON’T HAVE TO GET READY.”
The Iron Addict’s Influence
Known as the “Iron Addict,” C.T. Fletcher has built an impressive reputation in the fitness world. According to his Wikipedia page, Fletcher is an American powerlifting champion, bodybuilder, actor, and social media personality. Born on June 8, 1959, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, he grew up in Compton, California, and later served in the U.S. Army for 11 years, stationed in Germany.
Fletcher’s powerlifting achievements are remarkable, including three World Bench Press Championships and three Strict Curl Championships. His personal records include a 650-pound bench press, a 725-pound squat, and a 650-pound deadlift.
Beyond The Barbell: Fletcher’s Recent Activities
Fletcher remains highly active in the fitness and entertainment worlds. His recent Instagram activity shows he maintains a strong online presence with his YouTube channel “CT FLETCHER MOTIVATION,” where he posts full videos of his training sessions and motivational content.
Additionally, Fletcher is deeply involved in the strict curl competitive scene. He recently announced that the ISCA World Strict Curl Championships on May 31st, 2025, will now be an “Arnold Qualifier,” providing athletes a path to compete at the prestigious Arnold Sports Festival. Fletcher emphasized that ISCA adheres to “THE STRICTEST RULE SET IN STRICT CURL TODAY,” requiring the head, back, and butt to remain in contact with the wall throughout the lift.
Beyond his fitness endeavors, Fletcher places great importance on family. He recently celebrated his wife Beatrice’s 67th birthday, referring to her as “MY SWEETHEART, MY PALAUN PRINCESS, THE QUEEN BEE” and “MY INSPIRATION.”
With this book recommendation, Fletcher continues his tradition of supporting those in the fitness community, starting with his own family. For fans of strength training, boxing, or general fitness, this new book appears to offer insights from someone with extensive experience training both elite athletes and everyday fitness enthusiasts.
