Daily “Selfie” – It is starting to get cold down in the Heavy Hammer Gym. I have on a full-zip, Show Choir sweatshirt from my senior year of high school, 2004. Also pictured are my new WITCC sweatpants that I won at our faculty Christmas party. They are very comfy and warm, but too long. I have to roll up the bottoms a good 3-4 inches in order to function in them.

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.”

Daily “Selfie” – This is the shirt I got from my family for my 30th birthday this summer. I know that I am still young by a lot of standards, but I was very nervous about trying to be a competitive strength athlete at 30 years old. I had lifted weights before (HS football, College football, etc.) but never consistently, and certainly never for competition. When I took up lifting to get in shape after my daughter was born (I was 29), I never thought I would be doing it this way. I figured I would weight train to lose weight because I hate cardio. I never, in a million years, would have thought that I would have my own training/diet blog, sell protein powder and other supplements, win two medals and one trophy in powerlifting meets, compete in a strongman contest, compete in a MAS Wrestling tournament, start a strength club and a MAS Wrestling team at my work, and become a certified personal trainer ( I am currently working on the program). This has been one of the best decisions of my life. I am healthier than I have been in a long time, I have goals to work towards, and I am having fun. I just want to take this time to thank the person who has been by my side through my journey of becoming even fatter than I was (I blame her cooking being so good) and completely changing my life. My wife has been a steady support system who let me take over our basement and turn it into a gym, who let me start business ventures in supplements that she didn’t really understand at the time, and who let me drop money into a “hobby” that turned into a new lifestyle. I love you babe!!! (not sure how I got this whole story out of a picture of my t-shirt)

Front Squat – 195x4x8
Straight Arm Pulldown – 60x4x8
Dumbbell Shrug – 50x4x20
Standing Calf Raise – 405x4x8
Daily “Selfie” – This is another one of my Wal-mart Bro-tanks. It is a giant Eagle. The good thing about this shirt is that it was very very small on me when I bought it. Now it is just kinda small. Proving that I AM losing weight. The bad thing about this shirt is that the eagle’s eyes are right in line with my pecs (man boobs). Kinda makes him look bug-eyed.
