For those of you following along, I have been quiet for a few years now. I am finding my footing once again and am happy to speak to those who follow along. I have chased many goals and competed on many platforms. I am coming up on 23 years as a 100% vegan and still haven’t withered away like all the naysayers think. I have successfully won in Bodybuilding, placed 2nd in Men’s Physique, Bench Pressed 315lbs, Back Squated 418lbs, and Deadlifted 507lbs. I have even Snatched 225lbs, and Cleaned 275lbs.

On my list of things I want to accomplish is to Jerk 275lbs, which is about 25 lbs away still, and get back to Men’s Physique lean in the next few months (at or leaner then the above pic from some years ago). I am excited to begin working with a new client come March 1st who has the same goal so I will use that opportunity to coach it and live it at the same time. Routines for Powerlifting, CrossFit, Olympic Lifting, and Bodybuilding (Getting Shredded) are all different, so I will switch gears to get in extra cardio, spending more time within hypertrophy rep ranges, and earning my carbs. I will post more here as I need to get my voice back as my gym in Oakland (newethic.net) has been taking up my focus. 2019 will be an exciting year. I will be turning 40!? Where did the time go? Let’s make some things happen folks. We only have on life. Make it count.
