400lbs on deadlift has taken me literally my entire 17 years of lifting weights to try and hit but I’m so close and I know I’m getting it this year. I hit 385lbs late last year but some changes in my schedule kept me from making the home stretch to 400lbs. - Been using drop sets and pyramid sets to try and get comfortable with the heavier loads while still getting a good amount of reps in my workouts. Went up to 345lbs today comfortably for a single and worked my way back down for reps at 285lbs. - I’ve not had as much time in the gym as I’d like over the past several months but I’ve been able to move some things around and get a consistent lifting schedule again and it has been as much fun as it was when I first started lifting weights in high school. Just dialing in on my reps and numbers and approaching things with a fresh mindset makes such a difference in your workouts! - #refresh #renew #rebuild #fitness #fitnessmotivation #trackyourprogress #deadlift #backworkout #rows #squats #pyramidset #dropset #maxrep #strength #strengthtraining #strengthandconditioning #lowerbodyworkout #legstrength #legday #posteriorchain #hamstrings #glutes #lowerbackworkout #trainer #flexfriday #salemstrength

Back in 2017 I finished the Spartan trifecta out of the blue and ended up falling in love with them. Now that the Covid restrictions have eased up and the races are back in full swing, it’s time to cop another set of those 3 shiny medals. #SecondTrifecta

Miss being a trainer. Miss my clients. Miss the long hours in a gym. I miss it all. It was the closest thing I could find to my childhood dream of being a superhero. It was a very simple job but I looked at it as a way to help people and as the best way I knew how to save people’s lives and help them live longer and stronger. I’d write the workout plans and dietary tips but as I kept doing it learned that just as importantly, I listened to them. We’d talk about what they were going through and I would sometimes give advice but a lot of times I’d just be their mental punching bag and let them workout their problems mentally while I worked out their bodies physically. One thing was for sure, everyone always left the workouts better, myself included. I believe God made me for this and I know for certain, somehow and someway… I’ll be back.

265 lbs x 8 (55 lb plates on both sides) Pull-ups x 6 You can’t go wrong with deadlifts and pull-ups. If you had nothing else to train with, I really believe these two movements would keep you strong and ready for whatever life throws at you. Unbeatable combo and something I’ll always have in my routine. - #deadlift #pullups #functionalfitness #reallifeworkout #lowerbodyworkout #upperbodyworkout #coreworkout #fitspo #training #trainer #legs #back #grind #liftheavy #circuittraining #supersets #discipline #goals #salemstrength
