Overall Goal: My goal is to bench over 400 and build my overall whole body strength. I'm an amature strongman and want to give it hell with every contest and every event.
Fit Status:
Ready to give it hell this strongman season!!
Started back in high school when I was wrestling. I stopped for awhile but then picked it back up after I felt my strength leaving me.
Why I Love It:
I love the feeling it gives me. I love the fact that I don't give excuses or cry anyone a river about why I'm not at the gym. Because I am there. It may sound corny but I even love the pain that I get from it. Lastly, I love looking like a superhero in my childrens eyes.
How I Stay Motivated:
Everytime I see a WSM competition it motivates me. Everytime I hear a kick ass song that pumps through my veins, it motivates me. Every single time someone looks at me like I'm too small or weak to compete, it motivates the hell out of me.
BB Accomplishments:
Finishing my first SM competition.
Curling 70lbs
Doing over 1080lbs on the leg press.
Using 100lbs+ on sitting shoulder raises.
My goal is to bench over 400 and build my overall whole body strength. I'm an amature strongman and want to give it hell with every contest and every event.
Goal (Long):
I have a long way to go but I need a better squat max ( 430 now ).
I need a better overhead press max ( 220 now )
Also, need a better deadlift ( 420 now)
How has bodybuilding and fitness helped you to be a better parent?
It has taught me patience and poise. Bodybuilding has taught me a new level of honesty. Weights don't lie to you. I don't think they're able to and I love them for that. I strive to have that kind of relationship with my kids.It has taught me patience and poise. Bodybuilding has taught me a new level of honesty. Weights don't lie to you.

Other than the obvious benefits (appearance, health, etc.), how has bodybuilding and fitness improved your overall life?
It give me motivation and clarity in other pieces of my life.

What do you do before your workout to get motivated and energized?
I get the old mp3 player cranking. I run the routine in my head over and over and then see myself making it happen. Then I give it hell!!!
During this past week I was speaking to a fellow strongman and we made arraingments to meet at my event training gym. I don't know about you all but I train better and harder when I train with someone stronger than me. Needless to say I was giddy about getting there and making it...
happy thanksgiving SC. not to sure about the off season cuz im on season year round. im kind of like dexter jackson in regards to not putting on much weight and staying ready for shows...lol...have a great day. train hard, play harder. jeff
Thank you sooo much for your encouragement. I'm not giving up...I want it tooo bad for that- I allowed my emotions and disappointment to get the better of me. I'm going to do what you said and hit it like my life depends on the end result!
Hey, man! I just got the invite, so thanks! But, uhmm...you know I don't lift any stones, cars, or logs, right? I just move iron, so I'm not sure that I'm qualified to be in the group...
