Had a great workout tonight! Got out of work a little early today, so I was able to get my workout in a little sooner then normal. Always do much better when it’s not 9pm before I get a workout in.
Today was Upper Body Night:

I had a great time this past Sunday watching another strongman competition. I was able to meet up with some old friends and make some new friends. As a added benefit I got to meet several time Worlds Strongest Man Bill Kazmaier and North American Strongman president Willie Wessels.

Morning Kids!
Just writing a quick post as I am getting ready to head to Cleveland for the day. I am excited to head up there, today is the Jack Katz strongman competition. This is the comp I was originally going to compete in, but they did not have a novice division and I wanted a [...]

I have always liked watching strongman competitions on TV and have [...]

Usually they same type movements, crunches, knee raise, reverse crunch, etc… I am going to start sharing more functional and more effective core movements for you to incorporate into your training. Start using these movements and I will guarantee you will notice the [...]
