Boys, its good to be back. i know ive been to ABCs and out at the Olympia, but ive been biding my time more or less. staying the course till i can get back to my true self. Im ten months out of back surgery on my munbar spine, anyone who knows me knows that. yesterday marked my new beginning, i got my last spinal injection to break up the scar tissue that was left over from my injury and surgery. almost a year and a half, 2 rounds of therapy, 8 injections and one major surgery later i am free and clear to hit it hard and get back to me.
u all know me, and getting back to me and my trainign style, my dedication and sacrifice is going to be utter madness. i know i am in the right place surrounding myself with like minded muther fuckers and that will support my journey and be part of it when the opportunity presents itself.
i may not ever walk around at 330 again or compete as a strongman super heavy weight but i will b putting on solid mass in order to compete most likely by the end of this coming summer. its not in me to quit, to gain that which is worth having it may be necessary to give up everything else; sacrifice. if you love something do it until it kills you.

Supreme, good to be back my man. San Diego....shoudl b out in your neck of the woods if all goes well for me in teh coming months...some of my best contests have been out there. cant fuckin wait bro
Welcome back. I broke my back sometime in 2001-2002, don't rally know how. Did not have surgery till 2006. I kept working out on it the whole time. After the surgery it took me till 09 to get back in the gym. I am now as strong or stronger than I have ever been, I still dead lift and squat. I still have to be extremely carefull and there are things I just don't do anymore. Bent over rows being one of them. Just take it slow till you know you can handle it. Pick and chose your exercises carefully and just don't go crazy too quick. I still hurt alot every day. But it is managable. I love my time in the gym and will not let it take me down. Good luck P.

I feel like a caged lion on days like these...chomping at the bit. If u ever go tot the zoo u can always tell the lions that have been captive their whole life and those that were once wild. there's something in there eyes, a desire a rage that cannot be satiated being caged. I feel the same...trainign the way i have been and knowing the way i am working my way back to. i have that unsettling rage behind my eyes, apparent only to those that share my affinity for the iron game. off to the arena now brothas, to spill swet and blood...getting ever closer to being the lion i once was.

many of you know i coach powerlifting...for those of you that don't, i coach on the #1 high school powerlifting team in the country. my kids are getting ready for states next week and the climate is volatile in the dungenous weight room we train in. my boys at Animal know what im talkin about...they have visited and been privelaged to witness the madness. believe it or not, regardless of the level i have competed at in strongman and now affectionately known as 'my fall from grace'...my kids are the ones that keep me focused and hungry to compete again soon. it's the atmosphere and brotherhood we forge with blood and swet and screams of pain that echo into the gymnasium above...i love this shit and couldnt be more proud of the effort my kids give me
You have some awesome words man. Makes me miss my kids. Having come back from back surgery, my kids are what kept me motivated. They pushed me to get back in the arena again. Without the youngsters around, without them pushing, we may not be what we are today. I miss having them in the arena with me. And I feel you when you say you couldn't be more proud, mine are competing Nationally in college in their own arena's. My girl in fastpitch Softball and my son in Football. Both at the top of their sport. I love this shit too. It's what drives us day in day out. Thanks for your words man. Keep pushing those kids, and yourself!

my girl is all of 5'4, 120 lbs...a lot of u have seen her at the last ABC, by all appearances a pre contest figure girl or fitness competitor even tho she is neither. she trains her fuckin ass off, w animalistic rage and intensity that rivals mine at times. i will gladly take a needed spot or motivation from her before any from the ipod toting, chit chatting, losers that surround me 'working out'. she trains...with determination and purpose...the envy of all that surround her, the epitome and archetype of a woman in the weight room. by all accounts in a place of madness and pain that only u can take urself to, she thrives.
let this play witnes to the fact that the person you train with does not need to match u in size, weight, strength or even gender. they must however match ur intensity and desire to train. they must be reliable and have ur fuckin back when it matters, know when to joke and when to get down to business. u find that and u can forge a bond that may last a lifetime....that is priceless in this iron game of ours.

marred by dirt and swet and blood...left battered beaten and bloody...what a cruel mistress it is, this affliction with iron we have. some days you are a god and some days a piece of shit. ripping muscle and flesh from bone only to spurn a desire more intense then that of the day before...why do we love this life so much? to quote a great man, "because we will never find ourselves among those cold timid souls that know neither vistory nor defeat". no regrets my friends only valiant effort
Dude. Ur life is an ispiration to me. Wat u do... coaching is a hard as job lots of detication. The fact that they see that ur coming back after spinal surgery just says tells the what a real man and devotion is. Thank u for being a man and giving us balls to keep hitting it hard

anything that i have gained or become over the years has been gained through hard work, toil, agonizing pain, defeat, falling and getting back up....dont get me wrong there has been great times in both victory and defeat but for the most part i dont like when things come to me easy, i tend to choose the hard way...always have my parents say. the man i am and the character i have i attribute whole heartedly to my dad, he is the greatest man i know. if i can b half of what he is someday i can die knowing my life was a success...i was talking with him today and he had this to say
"Shit, im gna be 65 and im thinkin about how my entire life absolutely flew by amd i think about all of the things i wanted to do or things i said id do and didnt, or pushed them off and realized it was too late. I want so much more for all of my kids, especially you. To realize ur potential now and not 10 years from now when its too late to do something. Life is what u make it for urself, u control it, no one else. Its great to have ideas and plans, to be a dreamer...but its the follow through that counts. This shit isnt hard, u can do anything..if u had no arms or legs u could do it, i have that much faith in u."
Not exactly, "hey son, how are ya?" conversation haha. But thats one of the many reasons i love that fuckin dude and so proud to call him my dad. Thought id share w/u boys..thought it was worth a glance. Have a good one brothas.

walking down the street, down the hallway at work, through the aisles are the grocery store....u pass countless souls engaging in the everyday, the mundane. then there are those, like us, who have their day jobs...whatever vocation it may be. shrouded in uniform, surrounded by the tools of their trade. but we are drawn together by the unsettling stare, the dull gaze of things to come and it becomes apparent that there is a monster, an uncontrolable freak inside this man...he is my brother. from all walks and paths in life our roads diverge. whether we spends our days in overalls with tools in hand or in a suit at a desk with pen and paper...as the sun sets we become something more. we all shake hands with the same weight and feel the flesh peel from our hands, we have those same gnarled palms. depite what we do in our every day lives...it does not define us, we are something more, we are brothers in this life and the next.

fellas...im not gna lie. ive ben havin a tough time with things lately, these things arent anything i have control over and will most likely take some time to deal with and such is life. sumtimes it just kicks u a raw deal from time to time. im battered...a lil bloody but far from beaten...
today was a a day of wreckoning for me. i drove up to meet two of my good friends Rob and Dana Bailey, Dana fresh off of her most recent win and IFBB Pro Card. i kicked the woe is me bullshit to the curb and got down to business. if you dont bring ur A game u might as well never even walk the fuck in cuz Dana, being the genetic freak she is, will show u up in an instant.and my man Rob has arms like god damn tree trunks.
iron, the great perspective giver. isnt that the damn truth...i left feeling fuckin fantastic, with a renewed sense of self.
if there is one thing that i have learned and holds true its to surround urself with good people who are like minded and good things will come. my good friends, who have proven to be great friends, pulled my out of my momentary lapse and back into the trenches. it like home, its where i belong

In life you need people who are gonna make you dig and claw with your bare hands, fight tooth and nail for the first few feet and then after those first few feet give you a shovel.
They will make you work for it, make you earn it. They will chew you up and let you know exactly how much you fucked up. But only to help rebuild you...mortar and brick wrapped in steel. Stronger then you once were. Cuz when it comes down to it, they are the ones who have your back, who have your best interest at heart.

You did more/accomplished in this crazy sport than most people attemped----But you and I know as we age, the "come back" is in a timely fashion. But the passion you speak of is not faked or taken for granted. The hottest part of the flame is closest to it's source. Sure the chance of getting burned is always there, but if we stay focused and use fear as our friend, the burn will not get near us!
Sure stop over, I am right in Plymouth Meeting...near the mall. Pleanty of good food in the fridge and old heavy ass equipment in my basement....Wednesday is all you can eat sushi near my house...Made to order-fresh $24.00

I woke up to a text sayin that a good friend of mine had been killed early this morning in a car accident. The initial reaction was disbelief, 'what the fuck are u talkin about bro?!' 'if this is a joke ill fuckin kill u, its not fuckin funny!'I called my right hand man Jackson 'WHat is this bullshit im hearin bro?' he had heard the same. Turns out it was true, turned on the news and there is was...Ryan Dunn, 34 years old died this morning. He was just a good fuckin dude, had a rough run of it but always prevailed, always landed on his feet. But more then anything always had a laugh, handshake and kind word for most anyone who approached him.
there is a large group of us that are in this together. Dunn would most likely laugh at us for being upset so we have celebrate, its the kinda dude he was.
Puts a lot of things in perspective. I had just talked to him the other day, he literally had the world by the balls with everything to look forward to. He will b missed and never forgotten by those whose lives he was part of.
I am that much more determined to make something of this life for myself.

Happy 4th my brothers...lets not lose focus of what today represents for all of us as Americans. Amidst the bbq's, family gatherings and fireworks in the back of your mind hold onto the thought of ur great nation and those that went before us. The reason we have our liberties and freedoms did not come by chance, but by toil and sweat and blood. Each one of us has greatness in our heart and soul...we can always fight for something greater. I think the world of a select few ppl, today is a day when u let them know it. I am proud of a lot of things, one of which is being an Animal..but expecially today I can take the time out to say I am proud to be an American.

Here's to new beginnings...the last few months have found me in a pit...deep and dark, no light apparent to the eye. Ive had good friends around me but couldnt see them. I picked myself up and began climbing, blindly but with a sense of direction. Obstacles in the way and bumps along the road. Until recently i was still in the dark, but what never wavered was the desire inside of me burning bright, dedicated from the onset. I have changed, the world may not have or the people around me.. but i have. I have clarity, i am no longer blind. I see those ones i call friend and i am far from beyond this darkness but i see a light and i am trudging toward it with 1000 lbs on my back. Its not a race, its a marathon...when i emerge from this, when i can stare the haters in the eye cuz they have not once beaten me, when i can stand broad and tall because i have created my own reality and i am stronger and a better man for it...the true mayhem will begin...this is the beginning of the rest of my life. the best chapter

Training is my backbone...
sumtimes i sit in quiet moments, down time i guess, and arbitrary thought and shit fill my brain...flood into my conscious. i know of only one way to push them out. i confront them head on with pain.
i have been training ferociously...bleeding, passing out, puking my guts out...ive been there before but this is drastically different. i cause myself so much physical pain each day that its all i can think of, its all i know. if i live in this realm there is no time for the outside world and all of its contrived drama. i enter this dungeon, this 110 degree hell, alone.
from the second it is over i plan and ponder and contemplate what can i do to myself the next day that was worse then today. my body can take more then that. what can it not take and how can i make myself do it.
we always used to say, 'walk in, limp out'...lately brothers it has been, 'storm in, crawl out'.
ive found that level of madness that i need, i can only imagine where it will take me

Yeah Brother! I definately like to surround myself with people like yourself who think and act alike. Understand about being busy. I was able to get back the the states, visit with my family, got to watch the kids play some college ball, and even organized a small Tenn ABC which was pretty cool. But Im back over here at work now. I am on a mini cut for about 1 month right now but still tossing around the heavy stuff. Been watching the Flag nor Fail vids on youtube.

Son is doing great, his team is pretty good but the coach makes some dumb decisions. He is number 1 in his conference and tied for 1st in the nation with 24 others for kicking. Any one of them misses one, they drop out. He is still 100% on FG PAT.
Girl just got picked up in the same school my son goes to for full ride as well, so cant complain. She has to get a surgery asap so she can play spring time. Torn labrum in the hip. She is 19 in her 3rd year of college.

Its too hard? You’re just scared… anyone who shows u sympathy to any of these comments isn’t doin u any favors and is only doing so because they haven’t pushed themselves beyond what is rational and sane, to the point of excruciating pain and complete failure. Everyone has read about it, its this fantasy world they live in where they train their fuckin ass off, harder then anyone else, kill themselves in the gym right? Wrong. Ive been there, on the other side of madness, its not pretty or glamorous. U think these weights are gna sho u mercy? Sympathy? They wait there day in and day out for u. to fuck ur day up, to beat u down until u beg for it to stop, on ur knees with a gun in ur mouth, helpless. U want some? Go get sum and get it done.

But for whatever reason, the attitude in your posts stirs up something very dark and very real inside of me. Your view and your methods are fucking inspiring man. And not the kind of typical delusional crap you can find on fitness sights or peoples social media sights. Just the kind of raw inspiration that can make any man harder and stronger, if they're willing to get in touch with it and hold on.

Boys, its good to be back. i know ive been to ABCs and out at the Olympia, but ive been biding my time more or less. staying the course till i can get back to my true self. Im ten months out of back surgery on my munbar spine, anyone who knows me knows that. yesterday marked my new beginning, i got my last spinal injection to break up the scar tissue that was left over from my injury and surgery. almost a year and a half, 2 rounds of therapy, 8 injections and one major surgery later i am free and clear to hit it hard and get back to me.
u all know me, and getting back to me and my trainign style, my dedication and sacrifice is going to be utter madness. i know i am in the right place surrounding myself with like minded muther fuckers and that will support my journey and be part of it when the opportunity presents itself.
i may not ever walk around at 330 again or compete as a strongman super heavy weight but i will b putting on solid mass in order to compete most likely by the end of this coming summer. its not in me to quit, to gain that which is worth having it may be necessary to give up everything else; sacrifice. if you love something do it until it kills you.
P Diesel
I read this today and look at you now :)
Brotha what injections where you given? When I had my surgery in 2008 they didnt put anything back in after they took shit out. Said Im young enough that scar tissue will take place of the disk and the of the pieces of the disk under that one that they trimmed down. Just curious since I always feel something there weather its pain, stiffness or soreness.

Brotha what injections where you given? When I had my surgery in 2008 they didnt put anything back in after they took shit out. Said Im young enough that scar tissue will take place of the disk and the of the pieces of the disk under that one that they trimmed down. Just curious since I always feel something there weather its pain, stiffness or soreness.
the first few rounds were the generic lumbar spine to reduce the disk space. the last before surgery was a selective nerve root block and my last after surgery(prally the only one that worked) was one to break up teh residual scar tissue.

I can tell you I have been in some crazy situations in full gear with a gas mask on, and it sucks. Hard as fuck to breath. And we have done marches with them on, and it is tough as fuck. But hell, everyone training goes to colorado to train at high altidude and it works!

Do you have all this set up around your place or a gym. Im fixing to add a few items to my yard! LOL! The tire for sure, can do so much with it. And my back yard has a slope if I want to increase the tire flipping resistance. Sledge work, and I have a home gym in the garage I can use, plus a few barbells. Maybe set up a nice medley! Your killing it brother, motivating!

But if i'm serious like dead serious into a certain weight or set u won't get shit outta me. Unfortunately ya gotta b a dickhead to ppl. They dnt get it and may nver will. I yelled at a kid the other night for movin my box set up in the rack when I had 700 all ready to go. He packed his shit and left, called the gym and said he needed to cancel his membership cuz 'the big guy w that tattoos is gna hurt him'. It wasn't all that serious in my head, but he needed a stern talkin to. Oh well, we will battle this stigma and ignorance of others forever. I won't lose sleep over it tho haha. Keep after it Pit
