Lifting stats: Any you would like to share?
Free Squat 155 for 4 reps, Smith Machine Squats 185 for 7-8 reps, Leg Press 8 Plates (8×45) for 5 reps ( 7 with spotter 😉 ), Adductor/Abductor 125/150 for 8-10 reps, Strict Wide front Lat Pulldowns 85lbs for 8-12 reps, Barbell rows 115 for 6 reps, T-bar rows w/ a 45lb + 25lb plate for 6-8 reps, Shoulder Press 40lb Dumbbells for 5-7 reps, Curl 35lb Dumbbells for 7-9 reps.
Greatest accomplishment from lifting and/or fitness in general?
Honestly, beyond placing in a local natural body building competition and personal lifts/stats……. what I consider to be my greatest fitness accomplishment is successfully overcoming personal obstacles/difficulties (and those who know me know I’ve struggled) to be the healthiest/strongest (both mentally and physically) I’ve ever been in my life.
Favorite exercise to do in the gym?
I love to train back, so I’d have to say: Barbell and T-bar rows, front lat pull-downs, cable rows (individual and dual grip, wide and narrow), Hammer Strength front pull-downs, Hammer Strength Mid Rows.
Ever have guys challenge you in any sports, lifting challenges or wrestling?
Yes. I out leg pressed a guy at my gym that challenged me to “show him up” by about 40lbs and 3 reps, and I um… always win at wrestling ;).
Anything you would like to add or tell your fans?
Don’t ever give up: on your dreams, those that you love, or hopes that everything will turn out for the best!!
