Been a little inactive since the meet, but still grinding away at it. I’m going to compete at the strongman meet here in Wichita in February. With different events and a couple of new ones, I’m looking forward to this meet. #livegiant #getgiant #livegiantgetgiant #suppgiantict #suppgiantderby #suppgiantks #nutrithority #goaldriven #topcropbarbellict #usstrongman #vansshoes #gingerbeard #gingerjames #strongman #soulless #hellorhighwater #iron&stone (at Top Crop Barbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIw0UWOr42X/?igshid=7isg02iu1uhb

All and all this was a pretty good week in the gym. The first video you will see I didn’t lock out the dumbbell press, I screwed up my axle press, and my log press looked just okay. I will open tell people I’m not good at strongman. Every meet is different. That’s the fun part to it to. You have to be willing to suck at it before you get better, but they all carry over to the next. #livegiant #getgiant #livegiantgetgiant #suppgiantict #suppgiantderby #suppgiantks #nutrithority #goaldriven #topcropbarbellict #usstrongman #vansshoes #gingerbeard #gingerjames #strongman #soulless #hellorhighwater #iron&stone (at Top Crop Barbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF8OamlFR-f/?igshid=59r94lue4g5

Videos from this week. Things are moving pretty steady this past week, but the harder day for me is Saturday. I have found that the big 3 lifts are getting easier as the strongman lifts get harder. Trying to get the most of out the time I have while embracing the suck. #livegiant #getgiant #livegiantgetgiant #suppgiantict #suppgiantderby #suppgiantks #nutrithority #goaldriven #topcropbarbellict #usstrongman #vansshoes #gingerbeard #gingerjames #strongman #soulless #hellorhighwater #iron&stone (at Top Crop Barbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFF4yuigDU8/?igshid=123ry4e3cjymn

Here are my lifts from the past couple of weeks. I’m going to do the Kansas Strongest First Responder/Open Strongman Meet in November. Some of the events are new to my training. One thing I’ve learned at strongman is you are going to suck at a lot of things. It helps humble you and build confidence at starting new things. We will see what happens over the next couple of months. #livegiant #getgiant #livegiantgetgiant #suppgiantict #suppgiantderby #suppgiantks #nutrithority #goaldriven #usstrongman #vansshoes #gingerbeard #gingerjames #strongman #soulless #hellorhighwater #iron&stone (at Top Crop Barbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEz8jl0gtLB/?igshid=14g9vatcmkex9

I tried to think of a witty caption to these, but words aren’t my forte. Going to the gym is just my constant in life. Good, bad, shitty, great, break-ups, competitions, pandemics, life, and death. The weight never changes. When things start spinning out of control find those constants.#livegiant #getgiant #suppgiantwichita #suppgiantderby #livegiantgetgiant #nutrithority #demandexcellence #topcropbarbellict #vansshoes #conquerthebarbell #hellorhighwater #powerlifter #strongman #ironandstone #gingerjames #gingerbeard #baldandginger (at Top Crop Barbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD7EvYygSCT/?igshid=z93j1m285yvb

This week was a tough week. Not physically, but emotionally. - The iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go, but two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. - #suppgiantwichita #livegiant #getgiant #livegiantgetgiant #nutrithority #demandexcellence #topcropbarbellict #vansshoes #strongman #powerlifting #200lbsisalways200lbs #conquerthebarbell #gingerbeard #gingerjames (at Top Crop Barbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZhxYaAuYD/?igshid=rq07qffxpdd7
