Hello everyone. For a decade and more, strength and conditioning has been my pastime, and often my passion. When my wife and I were broke, a gym membership was the cheapest form of daily entertainment available. It helped us bond and establish what would become a cornerstone of our relationship. I love it all.
I’ve dug into many corners, read all the articals, attended the seminars and done many of the things. Like most of us here, I want to get stronger. But I’m also interested in looking good. “Get strong, look good, be in shape.” That’s my (purported) motto. I’ve rarely trained consistently enough to exemplify it, but it remains the goal nonetheless.
Some of you may know me from the old StrengthVillain forums, Starting Strength, CrossFit circa 2007, from wondering aggressively what happened to Chaos and Pain. But you probably don’t know me.
I have a lot of Orthopaedic issues. I used to squat, pull and press a lot. These days, I’m interested in satisfying my motto in whatever way best fits my real life - that of a father, a husband, a homeowner and full-time employee. Never mind one with old cars and myriad other hobbies.
See you out there. Wish me luck!
