Thanks, trying to better every day and hopefully the effort ends up being enough to accomplish my goals I got. All I can do is shut up and train :slight_smile: Haven’t seen your log pop up in my HUB I am guessing you got a new one, I’ll have to look it up.

lolz found the first photo I posted of myself on T-Nation in 2007 damn I was small AND fat. I think i was about 205? Here is to hoping pictures from today are just as embarrassing as this 5 years from now.

Man I started off with nothin going for me. Ive been training for strongman for 5 years lifted weights for maybe 2 years before that. I remember the first time I deadlifted 315lbs I was so pumped. I’ve just kept working and being consistent and slowly gotten to a somewhat respectable level of strength

Hadn’t checked my mail. I got a surprise Valentines gift… from my 400lb training partner and best friend Wonder how much they will be worth after he wins the Arnold in 2 weeks?

I can’t stop laughing

I eat pretty much the same day to day, I hadn’t counted macros or actual calories.

Ends up about 2,200 calories and 250g of protein every day. No wonder I am so damn hungry :slight_smile:

Kick ass man. It’s good to hear stories like that. its easy for me to lose perspective while I’m down in the day-to-day moving pussy weights around. I know ill get there someday though. sooner rather than later I hope!

Californias Strongest Man training 4 weeks out
Woke up and ate some damn oatmeal with damn peanut butter in it

drank two cups of green tea Followed by

a Rockstar Xdurance

aaanndd finally 2 scoops of Max Force. Yup time to go

Front squat

135x5
235x3
275x3
300x9 PR+15lbs

Wasn’t to hard till I racked the thing

sitting around for 10+ minutes watching others lift while I got to feeling normal again

Yoke 60ft

up to 550x2 fast fast fast felt like a feather on my back

Keg toss
2 sets of 2 with the little kegs, my 2nd throw on my 2nd run man i nailed that thing it FLEW probably a good 5’ over the 20’ tall branch I didn’t need to look back for that one. The big keg is frustrating me I am so damn short and stumpy i can’t get any good drive with it, I have to stand so damn far apart and if I dip a little bit the keg hits the ground. I was thinking just do the first 4 fast but you know screw that. Next week I am tossing the big keg till I find something that works

Stones to 48"

series

230,250,280 real fast and easy

tried to tug on my 350+ stone i got air under it but it is so chalky/dusty I had no grip. I need to seal that damn thing and load it.

250x5 1 motion

good day overall felt kinda ran down my piss afterwards was the color of orange crush I thought I was dying for a second till I remembered i started taking new supps lol

this training session induced an instant nap and I woke up feeling like doodie. It was a good one
