Ive taken a little vacation from posting here after my show. I was a little disappointed with my standings in the last show… not my performance. I had the best performance of my career in july. Unfortunately, somethings which were out of my control factored in. If nothing, it was a great experience and a life lesson for the future.
I will be returning to regular postings in the next few weeks, so get ready for regular content and guest posters in the military and general fitness industry.
I’ve got less than 2 days until my next strongman show and ill be traveling tomorrow, so this will be the final blog post before hand. Shortly after the show, ill be on TDY orders for the next couple of weeks. Fortunately ill still have Internet and a laptop to communicate with you all.
On a side note, if anyone has ever done the Army’s CLS class, leave me a message and let me know your experiences with being IV’d by amateur military members. Im interested in hearing some good stuff!
In honor of the great sport of strongman, Im posting up this phenomenally edited video of the greatest strongman ever, Mariousz Pudzianowski. Enjoy, and ill talk to you after the show!
Your military meathead has been training for his next strongman competition and I thought you should see what kind of training Ive killing..
(Note, this is not very beneficial for military physical fitness, as you can see by my elevated weight, but I can drop and add weight pretty easily. Dont worry, ill be back into combat shape in no time.)
Before I post the training, Here is the show’s events and specifics, If anyone happens to be in the Ft Myers, Fla area.
Log press for reps (for competition’s sake, the weight is not told just yet)
Atlas Stone Loading… weights also kept private(for now)
Ill Keep you updated as I get closer and closer to the show. Im shooting for that First place trophy!

So bodyweight training is great for conditioning and overall fitness, but if you want to gain the size and freaky strength that guys like myself and other big time strength athletes possess, you need some tools to help you out.
But you cant afford to buy up every bar and rack on EliteFTS.com?
Not a Problem, check out this video Ryan made to help you get started getting strong as hell in your own garage, front yard or even your living room (And for under 100 bucks, for the most part)
