I am thrilled to be back to training strongman and finding my passion to train once again. My return to strongman isn't just about getting back into event training. It's also my return to dropping weight, becoming athletic once again, maintaining solid nutrition AND figuring out how to incorporate and maintain grip training in the mix. In the past that has not been possible and I generally go out in a big ball of flames. This time I'm optimistic.
A perfect storm is brewing and many different components of who I am as an athlete are changing and improving. Part of this process is reflecting on where I have been in order to catch you all up while continuing the inner strength to rebuild and compete at my best.
You can catch up on the three installments of how I got to where I am.

Ya know, Tuesday feels like it was an eternity ago. Kept things light and moved a little. I did not do a deload press day, I felt like the extra sleep was more important and necessary. Cutting back to two days plus event day has made a dramatic impact in my overall functioning and my own perception of where my strength is. I'm turning a corner here and about to hit a big milestone that I will share as soon as it happens.
