I am a drug-free powerlifter. After a 14 year layoff, I have once again started competing. I won the 2016 Rocky Mountain Regionals, 2017 Utah State, and took 3rd at the Drug-tested Nationals. The goal of this blog is to relay some information that I have found helpful so that other busy dads can get back into the game, whether they are powerlifting, or getting back into shape.

Progress After 6 Weeks
Today marks the end of the 6th week of my program. Since I measure every two weeks, I was happy to see that I am indeed making great progress toward my goals. Dedication and hard work is what it's all about! I could be a bit more strict about my caloric intake- the type of food I am eating is generally good, but I could do with slightly smaller portions at dinner... but my results are positive so I am not going to obsess about the diet just yet. I have updated my Fitness Goals page with today's vital measurements. (I also tested my strict curl max and got 154 pounds with it... honestly I am not very happy about that, but I have time to work on it.) Below is a quick chart comparing my pre-program measurement with today's. The results speak for themselves. Tomorrow I will update my workout logs so you can see the strength gains as well.
