Daily “Selfie” – This was one of my favorite shirts. I haven’t worn it in a long time. It is from the Dark Star Skateboard clothing line. I didn’t know that when I bought it. I just liked the warrior with the huge axe. The reason I haven’t worn it in almost 2 years is because it is a XL. I haven’t felt comfortable wearing anything smaller than XXL since. I can finally fit back into it and feel semi-comfortable. It is a little tight around the belly still, but I am working on that.#LoseTheBelly

Bent Over Row – 175x2x10
Dumbbell Shrug – 100x2x20

Daily “Selfie” – Because I did my workout at Shawn Frankl’s Big Iron Gym I couldn’t take my normal daily “selfie”. I did however get a “selfie” in today. This is my Big Iron Gym baseball-style t-shirt. Sleeves are 3/4 length. This is my “going’ out” shirt. Also pictured, my Hammer necklace from Shields of Strength with one of my favorite bible passages on it: PHIL 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Comet Strength Club Lift-a-Thon
Posted: December 22, 2015 in Announcements, Training JournalTags: Comet Strength Club, Hoist For The Holidays, MAS Wrestling, WITCC
This year WITCC hosted another Comet Strength Club Lift-a-Thon. We are going to try to host two every year. This one was called the Hoist For The Holidays being so close to our winter break.
We only had a few lifters actually show up, but we had a nice audience and had some good lifts. Here are the results:
Kenneth Schmidt – 245lbs, SQ 365, BP 225, DL 475 = 1065lbs total = +4.35%
Nick Bennigsdorf – 190lbs, SQ 315, BP 245, DL 385 = 945lbs total = +4.97%
Devin Husted – 205lbs, SQ 365, BP 235, DL 425 = 1025lbs total = +5% (Awarded Best Lifter)
Me – 232 lbs, SQ 455 (passed on 3rd attempt), BP 335, DL 475 (passed on 3rd attempt) = 1265lbs total = 5.45%
We also did a MAS Wrestling demonstration.

Well, today was supposed to be deload squats, but I thought I should prepare for the Comet Strength Club Lift-a-Thon. I decided to do some max deadlift instead.

Daily “Selfie” – This is my Accidentally Grabbed A Plain White T-shirt selfie. I do like the fact that it makes my arms look huge.
