SO PUMPED
Finally hit 175 lb bodyweight. Pushing for 182-185 range before my next strongman comp on May 20th. Gotta get to 200 by end of the year.
Posting a new video later today, Going to the gym to test my standing box jump. I'm thinking 40"+ is gonna happen.
Wish me luck =X
Dash is Dead! D.E.D. Deeeeead!
Reblog and I’ll follow you!
Healthy fitspo/weightloss pleasssse!
I really want to head to RVC and see if I can complete a 700 lb tire flip for 50 feet to 250 lb keg carry for 50 feet within a minute.
For the next hour I'll answer every single one of your extremely personal messages, even if you're anon.
I doubt I’ll get any.
Reblog if you want "have you ever" asks.
Sure I’m bored and generally a very open person anyway =)

WAYYY too early. Up at 5 am to open the gym at 6 am. FML.
Hi - Cool blog! Hope you don't mind if I use some of your content. New follower. Can you follow back? I'm so close to my goal.
Thanks for the complement! I dont mind If you use some of my content, and of course i’ll follow back =)
Forgot to post last night that I pulled 405 LB Deadlift off the floor last night for an easy single. Spinal Erectors are definitely getting stronger.
Got bored today and created a 40 minute stretching routine to do everyday to win my bet. TIME TO MAN UP AND WIN! She's going down.
Nah but fo realz ima win dis shit.
I may have made a foolish bet. I made a $20 bet that I could do a front split before my friend Tegan could. She did 6 years of gymnastics when she was younger but never did a split. I think I can win this but clearly have the disadvantage never having flexibility trained in my life. Any thoughts?
Looking at apartments this week.
Moving out of my 2 bedroom apartment and looking at 3 bedroom apartments with my friends Danielle and Tegan. Should be interesting to live with them but I think it’ll be a good time. Hopefully we find something decent =)

Picking up a new client. Female with Arthritis and bulging discs in the lumbar spine. Should be a neat challenge.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYBODY!!!! =)
WANTED: MORE FITBLRS TO FOLLOW!
If you post fitspo pictures and/or running and fitness related posts reblog this so I can follow each and every one of you when I wake up in the morning :)
I’ll also promo whichever new blog I like the most to over 1800 followers as an added incentive to reblog this!!
If you’re looking for new fitblr’s to follow as well, feel free to follow me!
First valentines without a date in a few years. First one single in a few years as well! Oh well not a big deal. Time to pound some weights at the gym and do tons of homework instead!
Every workout that comes across my dash I am doing. RIGHT MEOW. Reblog if you are in!
Minus if they need a machine…
Are you brave enough? x_x
Obviously I’m down.
Thanks for the advice ladies! I will definitely take into consideration what you've said if I choose to live with the two of them. It'll be weird being the only guy.
Sooo.... I might be living with 2 female room mates next year. Not sure how I feel about that. I guess it could be an interesting experience. Any thoughts/advice my tumblr friends? =)
Training for a new Strongman Competition!
Proven Performance II Strongman.
May 20th, 2012
This will be the first competition that I’m going to try and compete in the 176-200 lb weight class.
Events:
150 LB Keg Clean and Press for reps. 60 sec time limit. No staggered grip.
Car deadlift for reps. 60 sec time limit.
Farmers Walk Medley. 230 lb per hand down 50 ft. 260 lbs per hand back 50 ft.
Tire Flip/Keg Carry Medley. 650 lb tire down 50 ft. Carry 250 lb keg back 50 ft.
Sled Drag. Pull 650 pound sled 80 feet for time. 60 sec time limit.
I’m super pumped about this show. It should be fun competing in a higher weight class than normal as the implements will be heavier. I will definitely be light for the 200 lb weight class as I only foresee myself being around 185 day of competition. Right now the plan is a 6 week hypertrophy phase/bulk phase starting tomorrow (Monday) followed by 6 week of max strength phase to prep for the competition.
LETS GET INTO IT MAN!

I don't have much, sadly. I have a 3 and 5lb dumbbell, a set of 15lb dumbbells and one that you can customize to weigh between 5 and 25lbs. I have a workout bench and an Ab Lounge. Also a yoga ball! Im in a weight lifting class at school as well where I have access to the whole bench so I can squat/bench/etc. My main goal is to lose weight, when it comes to gaining muscle I want to target my legs and work on toning my stomach.
It would be helpful if you came off anon so I don’t have to publicly post these but one last question. How often do you have access to the school gym?
EDIT: I’m almost done with this project.
Workout of the Day
Performed the Death by Push Jerks challenge. Which is the following.
Start a timer during the first minute do 1 push jerk and rest the remaining time of the minute, as the next minute start do 2 push jerks and rest the remaining of the minute, continue adding one rep and only resting the duration of the minute until you cannot complete the required number of repetitions in the minute.
I lasted 6 rounds, the 7th ground eliminated me. Weight on bar was 135 pounds.
SECOND CHALLENGE!
300 meter pinch grip for time.
Complete a 300 meter walk/run while pinching 25 pound bumper plates for time. Unlimited drops allowed.
I completed this challenge in 4:21. I need to work on my grip strength more this one really left me breathing hard.
All in all the challenges were really fun and I enjoyed them. What did you all do today for your fitness? Send me an “Ask” and tell me about your wonderful fitness day!
Best Regards

Alright Tumblr time to admit something!
I am more sore today in the hip adductors and quadriceps area than I have ever been in my entire life. Makes sense since I did so many lunges and that’s a heavily eccentric exercise. The crazy shit I do for fitness challenges…. MAN UP!
*See American Nightmare post to know what I’m refering to*
Are you able to make workout plans for people? I enjoy working out but I never know what to do or how often to do it!
Yes I can, I just need to know what specific goals are and what equipment you have access to.
Reblog if you're a fitness blog!
