#flashbackfriday to August of 2012 for the Powerstation Pro/Am. I'll never forget this meet, it was the first time I traveled to another state to compete, let alone across the country to Ohio. Hit a 550 squat for a PR, got to see @djwade52 squat 1000lbs an remember seeing his family freaking out with custom shirts on lol, and overall had a really good time with my team. I'll never forget is seeing @brandonlilly3 for the first time. As soon as he walked in the room I just thought who the hell is this monster? I'm by no means a small guy (competed at 308 at the time), but next to him I looked like a kid. Ever since then he has definitely been an inspiration to me. His story and his attitude on everything, especially recovery, is extremely motivating. If you're looking for good, sound, straight forward good advice you should check out his videos. #fitfam #weightloss #strongandnerdy #powerlifting #bodybuilding #weightloss #getfit #motivation #progress #bodytransformation #weightlossmotivation #inspiration
