In total I have 3 competitions coming up. I have one two weeks from today, one 4 weeks from today, and another later in mid-July. Overall I am pumped, ready, and excited for all 3.

These upcoming comps have some fun events, some tough events, and some tough competitors as well. I’m excited to push myself, do my best to keep up with some really talented and more experienced competitors, and have a good time doing fun events like Hercules Hold, Axle Deadlifts, Squat Machines, Atlas Stones, and more.

I’ve made it a goal, to compete in 4 state championships/strongest man. So far I’ve only competed in one of them, which was in June of 2024 where I took 3rd place. My goal is by the end of 2026, to have at least competed in, if not been on the podium in 4 states (my own and the 3 nearby) championships.

Training has been great. It’s been tough at times, especially dealing with the illnesses I’ve had these last few months. But it’s been worth it for sure, and I’m excited to compete, and put all of this hard work to the test. If I’m being honest as well, I’m also excited to end this training block and get into some other things. I’ve been in prep since the end of December and man, I am feeling stale with training at the moment. I’m ready to move into a new training block, get some new implements in the rotation, some new variations, and change things up. It’s been 5 months, I’m ready for a change.

All in all though, I’m excited to round out these next few weeks of training and putting all of it to the test.
