Background
When I Started: May 1981
HOW I STARTED:
Looking for a way to survive as a kid in the rough streets of east Detroit.
WHY I LOVE IT:
Consider your day-to-day life. How often do you truly give 100% effort to accomplish anything? Performing a maximum lift is the closest that one can come to really exerting 100% effort...at least for a few seconds. Few endeavors come close to this level of intensity.

Dear diary,
I don't know what's going to happen this weekend. But what I do know is that is that I just woke up, looked in the mirror, and found myself in perhaps the best shape of my life at the age of 43. I don't get a trophy for mirin' my abs while brushing my teeth, but this post is meant to mark this date. No one else will share the moment with me. It is all transient and will soon fade away. But right now. In this moment, in this place, I am noting a major accomp

If it were just about lifting the weights, then it would still not be easy, but it would be simple.
But it's not just about the weights, and nothing about it is simple.
It's a zero sum game. The posing, the extra cardio, the travel preparations - that time has gotta' come from somewhere.
It's the dead plants in your living room
The friend that you forgot to call

"Grrrrrrr!!!!!" The cage rattles, and shifts slightly off center from the beast's momentum within its confines. "Settle down!" I yell, in an effort to feign absolute dominance in the face of uncertainty. I strap on thick, worn, leather gloves, tighten my belt, and pull the heavy iron chain attached to the cage.
The cavernous space of the warehouse is filled with the scrapes of the cage against the stained concrete and my periodic grunt

Thanks, man! Regarding my last scheduled show, unfortunately, I wasn't able to compete for numerous different reasons. Needless to say, I was pretty bummed about the whole deal, but it is what it is. I'm DEFINITELY lookin' forward to hittin' the stage again, though.

man I'm here working it with hany rambod's routine for another 4 weeks, then I'm back to powerlifting movements for some time. What do you do to attain those hanging hams? those massive quads sweeps?

I feel ya, bruh- trying to get down to 220 NOW. This cutting **** is waaay harder than lifting! Squeezing in the cardio is like pulling teeth. Diet is solid, but I broke down and got some lipo 6- we'll see if it works.
