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 wish I had something motivating to caption these videos with, but I have nothing. Just have to stick to the program and do the work. Some days will be better than others. #livegiant #getgiant #livegiantgetgiant #suppgiantict #suppgiantderby #nutrithority #goaldriven #topcropbarbellict #drivenfitnesscenter #converse #vansshoes #gingerbeard #gingerjames #strongman #ussstrongman #livelarge #livelargefitness #conquerthebarbell #ironmafia #stronghouseproject #hellorhighwater #liteemup #powerlifting #uspa (at Top Crop Barbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9KUGtWhK9d4FYUZ4qi_gcPcMbT5nA9rjGfxFU0/?igshid=vf3z5i22mwc2

Here’s everything from the last two weeks. Training and made a shift toward strongman training. This is definitely a different beast to tackle and I’m enjoying every minute of it. It's humbling but I know this will carry over to powerlifting. I didn't get any videos from the training from last Saturday with the guys from Driven but made some jumps on the atlas stones that I was pretty proud of. Thanks to @kansas_strongman @adam.booya.boyer @chris_rios61 and @jester.jesse for helping me improve on everything. #suppgiantwichita #suppgiantderby #suppgiantict #livegiant #getgiant #begiant #nutrithority #goaldriven #drivenfitnesscenter #topcropbarbellict #conquerthebarbell #ironandstonestrength #stronghouseproject #powerlifting #strongman #gingerjames #gingergains #gingerbeard #livebearded (at Top Crop Barbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8U6KTAAL1EUAl90dE26w0-IbVfJSV3yzOoGEs0/?igshid=198w48272vjgy

This week I did my usual thing of picking up weight and putting it back down. Successful in not injuring myself so I’ll put that in the win column. The log push press is coming together from some pointers and finding my rhythm (what little bit I have). I’ll continue you on in my quest to conquer the Barbell. #livegiant #getgiant #ilivegiant #suppgiantict #suppgiantderby #nutrithority #goaldriven #demandexcellence #drivenfitnesscenter #topcropbarbell #powerlifting #gingerjames #gingerbeard #conquerthebarbell #squatbenchdeadlift #vansshoes #redhairdontcare #strongonesarehardtokill #hellorhighwater #ironismygreatestfriend https://www.instagram.com/p/B4qYWivAwdgLKUUo2j_WM5g9WCIGfrxGQB6qBE0/?igshid=1xqd78ubaurmg

This was a pretty fun week. Everything felt pretty good, except for the log press. My coordination isn't quite there yet, but then again, I haven't ever had the best coordination. A few potential things on the horizon that I’m kicking around. Keep and eye out for new things to come. #livegiant #suppgiantict #suppgiantks #suppgiantderby #livegiant #getgiant #nutrithority #demandexcellence #drivenfitnesscenter #topcropbarbell #vansshoes #momentomori #conquerthebarbell #powerlifting #uspapowerlifting #uspa #squatbenchdeadlift #gingerjames #gingerbeard #redhairdontcare #gingerpower #hellorhighwater #strongonearehardtokill #ironismygreastestfriend https://www.instagram.com/p/B4V_nHpAGnMeh3lsDqruyKe6E3TyiMFEqAMauM0/?igshid=be67gz0p5qha
