” Much like a carousel, the ride, the excitement and the fantasy that surrounds you will last the duration of the investment.”his

This quote is so true when it comes to training. If you don’t use it, you lose it! As long as you keep plugging the proverbial quarters into your training and dieting, you will [...]

I wasn’t as crazy as last week with 285 for 25 reps in a row. I did 5×5 today with 305. It felt much better with some breaks in between each set. After squatting, I did 2×15 and 2×10 on leg curls. I have been doing more cardio lately and getting back into martial arts [...]

” It’s not about the past, it’s not about the journey; it’s about NOW. It’s about what you do with what you have, about being at peace with yourself, about giving everything you’ve got to get where you want to be. That’s what I call success.”

Today was a tough one. I got to the gym by 4:00am and rolled out, stretched, and dynamic warm up. I squatted a little lighter today from last week because I wanted to hit 285 for 25.
So I did.
It sucked.
My legs were shaking bad and my heart almost exploded. After I was done [...]

Rolled out this morning pretty good. Then I hit 3,3min rounds of jump rope to wake me up. After band walks I started out nice and slow on shoulder press but then hit a PR with 185×2. I then hit my 3 sets 135×16,8,8. Pulled and pushed the prowler for 40yds with a 25,35,&45 on [...]

So today was chest day. I’ve not been training on the weekends lately because I have been getting my workouts in during the week. But this past Saturday I decided to hop in with Kirk on benching. I ended up hitting 355 for a single and then did 315 for a cluster of 2 reps;3 [...]

Hit up legs today and tried going a little heavier. Went up to 325 for my 3 sets and hit 10,3,3. My back was sore today and it hasn’t been that bad for a while. I stretched my quads between and after the squats, hit RDLs 225, 3×10. Spidermans for 3min and jump rope rope [...]

Decent lift today. Spent all day yesterday in Chicago playing a featured extra on a tv show. I got home at 11 last night and slept in until 5am. Felt pretty good but had a lot on my mind.
I hit shoulders today. 135 for 3×10. When I couldn’t get low enough after the first set [...]

I didn’t compete on Saturday. Since my concussion I put strongman on the back burner and the weights, although they would have been wicked heavy, were going to be tough for what I have been doing.
Today I increased my weight for my Bench. I hit 235 for 16,3,2 today. My triceps were fried after that. [...]

Today I rolled out quite a bit, stretched my chest a lot, and stretched my hips & quads from yesterdays workout. I was really tight, feeling better now. The shot of VPX helped too.
I am timid for today’s workout because I might end up competing in tomorrows strongman contest in Eau Claire. I hit [...]
