I just enjoy squatting. What can I say. 6hundo for 3x5. Next week 5x5. Then we move onward and upward. Ive picked the Liz Freel Classic as my next meet. April 4th. A Cancer charity event. And a tune up for the next Olympia. Bdywt is 208 and dropping. 198 here I come. Knees locked tight with @unbreakablegear Destroyer knee wraps. Mind blown with @skull_smash_ammonia Black and grip locked tight with @handarmorchalk. Yep. I only use the best for my platform performance. I am available for personal training and programming. For all phases of your training. Preacher Power Barbell Club is a 24/7 member's only gym. Come join our family and surpass your goals. www.preacherpowerllc.com [email protected] [email protected] 602.561.8670 #preacherpowerbarbellclub #disciplenation #strong #strongasfuck #squats #deadlifts #bench #uspa #uspapowerlifting #unbreakablegear #bestwrapontheplanet #powerlift #personaltrainer #strengthcoach #believeittoachieveit #powerlift #powerlifting #imheretowin #youbetterfukingbringit #getsome #coach #strengthtraining (at Preacher Power Barbell Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4TE6yjA08z/?igshid=1m8pad1sma1wi

Last week before we were getting ready to roll to Vegas for Olympia, I got a call from my sister and a 2nd from my mom. My nieces @brandelina2 son, Chase had passed away just a few hours earlier. Chase had fought a lymphatic form of cancer for most of 3 years. He had been declared 6 months cancer free before recieving his last stem cell treatment. Something went horribly awry and he had succumbed to a staph infection. He was a survivor. And a strong young man. I sincerely believe his strength was with me as I approached the platform with every attempt. I promised to do this for him. Strength comes in many forms. His is one Ill never match. RIP Chase. Youve inspired many in your short life. #chasestrong #tothesurvivors #strongasfuck (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2iilA-gf-G/?igshid=10uc6iy2k495w

Whew!! What a weekend. An Olympia weekend that is!! Went in with no real game plan. Just go have some fun and smash iron with lifters from across the globe. New and old faces and the chance to make new friends. First of all a big shout to the Preacher crew. @azpaul602 @caytebona @maxxbpower @biggie_swolles @lindakkelly @pwrgrl501 @lacymatthew @ashleypopoff @ryankellyaz @deanabeana1 You guys crushed it and without a doubt the best handling crew on the planet. Here we go. 727 sqt, 628 bnch(both world records) and my poverty pull of 584. Took silver and learned some new tricks from my Russian buddies. They always give you a great laugh and sound advice. My sponsor @unbreakablegear always supllying me with the best wraps and continued support. Next year, 198 class. Here we go!! #preacherpowerbarbellclub #disciplenation #strong #strongasfuck #squats #deadlifts #bench #uspa #uspapowerlifting #unbreakablegear #bestwrapontheplanet #powerlift #personaltrainer #powerlifting #strengthcoach #believeittoachieveit #powerlift #powerlifting #imheretowin #youbetterfukingbringit #olympiapowerlifting #nevertooyoung #nevertooold #stronggirls #girlswhopowerlift #uspapower #skullsmashammonia #handarmorchalk #teamhandalrmor (at Preacher Power Barbell Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2c9xGRBoDs/?igshid=1l23samn4dlwi

And the last of the Olympia openers are done. Last 2 weeks was a struggle getting this to touch. We made some shirt adjustments and BOOM! There it is. 595 on the bar. Ive gained about 10lbs this cycle to accommodate the squat, but had a profound effect on my bench. Lifting single ply at max loads is an art and not for the weak of heart. My raw bench is about 415, in my shirt ill exceed that by 200lbs. If you doubt yourself in this game even for a second, it can result in critical failure. No time to be a pussy. A big thank you to my crew @azpaul602 @maxxbpower @biggie_swolles Jessie Morris @godinachristian Wrapped up tight with @unbreakablegear Destroyer wrist wraps and grip locked tight with @handarmorchalk and mind blown with @skull_smash_ammonia!!

“Mentality is the element of training that can’t be prescribed or dictated to you through a set and rep scheme. It’s mind over matter, it’s the will to transcend, and a bad mentality will make or break ANY training program no matter how well-written it is.” In other words, do the fukn work. If you half ass the work, youll get half ass results. Every time. Put your head in it, get the fuck after it and the rewards will come. This has been a public service announcement. Coach. www.preacherpowerllc.com [email protected] [email protected] #preacherpowerbarbellclub #disciplenation #strong #strongasfuck #squats #deadlifts #bench #uspa #uspapowerlifting #unbreakablegear #bestwrapontheplanet #powerlift #personaltrainer #strengthcoach #believeittoachieveit #powerlift #powerlifting #imheretowin #youbetterfukingbringit #olympiapowerlifting #nevertooyoung #nevertooold #stronggirls #girlswhopowerlift #uspapower #skullsmashammonia #handarmorchalk #teamhandalrmor (at Preacher Power Barbell Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uRrTEAuke/?igshid=1o6oozqbxibrs
