So the kids are heading back to school and the end of summer is almost here. Now, for most people, that is a bad thing but for me, I love it! I’m just not really a summer guy. I guess between being over 310lbs and the hundred degree heat, I want to just freak out! Lol! Plus summer is ...

Can you believe it’s already the middle of July? This summer is flying by, as it seems to do every year. I’ve had a couple of updates since my last blog: • I have five people now that I’m getting ready for contests in October. (was four) • The Olympia is coming up fast!...

Things for me have been staying busy, despite being summer; which is usually my slow time. I’m not complaining at all! More and more people have been hearing about what sets our gym apart and makes us different from the other places around in the area. I’m getting busier traini...

I can’t believe it’s already the end of May. This year is going by so fast, as it seems to go faster every year. Our gym is doing well. The summers are always hard on the gym business, but I’ve been getting a lot of great feedback about our facility, and you just can’t...

My April has been crazy! That’s funny to me considering as long as I’ve been in this business and managing fitness centers, now owning one, my summers have always been slow. Not this year. I’ve been busier now than I was all winter and was at any point the years before. Mem...

What a fun and crazy Arnold expo it was this year! Every year it seems to have more and more added to it and every year it gets busier and busier. Friday this year, was busier than the Saturday last year and the amount of people was nuts, but always so much fun! I love being able to meet new ...

The Arnold is almost here and I’m as excited to compete in the Arnold amateur as I have been in any contest I’ve competed in. I’m weighing 277.8lbs first thing this morning (very flat and depleted) but loving the way my condition is looking. Three weeks left to go and thre...

2010 is here and now is the time to be setting new goals and sticking to them. It’s too bad a lot of people wait until certain times or events to say they are going to make that one (or many) changes for themselves. The one change I’m obviously talking about is our health and our b...

Well now our gym is open and things are going great! It’s been a lot of long long hours though. My wife and I switch off with opening and closing duties. We have a part time employee who helps us out a couple nights a week and also just hired a kid’s room attendant. Group fitnes...

It seems like forever since my last blog, but it has just been over a month and so much has changed during that time. As many of you may know, my wife and I have been working on opening a gym in Waukee, Iowa and it is now finally open for business!!! It is amazing how crazy everything has bee...

Another Olympia year is over and Jay Cutler finishes on top! Wow, just didn’t see that coming, or the placings that followed. These surprises of new Olympia winners are actually making the contest a lot more fun to follow. It’s now starting to look like a best man wins contest in...

Time keeps flying by! It’s already Olympia time again. I don’t know whether we are coming or going anymore. We are still going hard with our gym in Waukee, Iowa. We are still planning on opening the middle of October, as long as everything keeps running smoothly. Also now we are pr...

Three and a half weeks into my diet and things are going well. I’m down to 321lbs from 338lbs and it’s coming off nice and slow, just as planned. My workouts have actually been better and my energy is up. This always seems to be the case for me when dieting and being on an extreme...

Today I started my pre-contest diet and I have been really looking forward to it! I get so tired of my off-season due to having to put so much weight on that it gets to be uncomfortable. Although, I am the leanest and the biggest I have ever been and I owe a huge portion of that to HMB! I wei...

Only a couple weeks have gone by, but so much has changed! My wife and I are no longer training at the gym that I had been training at for the last two years and my wife had been training at for the last year and a half. We are now pursuing opening our own fitness facility in Waukee, Iowa and ...

Another couple of weeks have gone by and my training is going incredibly well. HMB, as always, is helping with my recovery and growth. I’m up to 330 lbs now, up 15 lbs from 8 weeks ago! I’m hoping to reach 340 lbs before I start my pre-contest diet July 1st. I’m trying to ...

I can’t believe that it’s almost May already and about time to start with my pre-contest diet for Nationals in November. I’m lucky to have a very supportive wife and family because, as anyone knows in this sport, you have to have a lot of support! The support of HMB f...

Hello and Welcome to my "HMB Blog". As was announced back in January, I joined Team HMB at the beginning of the new year! It is great to be here, and I was happy to meet some of you at the Arnold Expo last month. Well, it’s been exactly three months now that I’ve been usin...
