Travis Rinnert - 44 Years Old
275 Weight Class - Men's Open & Master - Full Power Raw
Actual weigh in body weight - 270 pounds!

Travis just competed 4 weeks ago himself and came into this meet a little battered and a little beat up but being a fellow old man power dinosaur that’s stubborn too, I can relate to his don’t quit, don’t give up attitude or is that us just being dumb asses? Not sure but it keeps working and leading by example!

Travis is a leader at our gym. Believe me when I say that. He sets the example each and every training day. Week after week. Month after month. This man is 44 years old, has 4 kids and owns his own business that has him working 60+ hours a week, every week. Same as many he has plenty of excuses to not train, to take care of himself and to be lazy but that’s now how he is geared. Travis is always on time, never misses training, always helps everyone, very supportive of all of his teammates and makes sacrifices that most will not. He is a leader.

He had some goals coming into this meet even though he just had the best meet of his life 4 weeks ago. He went after them with all he had and was close to hitting all of them but sometimes things happen. Travis still had a hugely successful meet and to me the best lift of the day that was just plan heart, grit and well being a badass motherfucker that won’t quit! Watch his last deadlift. All heart my brother!

I am super proud of you Travis. You have lost a ton of weight, got into the best shape of your life, competed like crazy in the past almost 2 years, you continue to improve and you have become a leader on our Team. I love ya old man!
