JP Carroll is an elite powerlifter from Chicago, Illinois. His top achievement in the sport is a 945-pound squat which is currently ranked 25th all-time SHW raw/wraps. His best total is 2281 — His current goal is to total 2300. His motto: "I’ve dug myself into many holes in life… Here I stand with a big back, broad shoulders and my head held high. Adversity builds character. The scars both physical and mental I carry, serve as reminders that after the darkest nights the sun shall rise again. I’d rather be laid to rest with arthritic hands, a broken heart and scarred skin than being put in my box having led an uneventful life, exiting unscathed — everybody dies, but not everybody lives."
Carroll is a SHW training out of Barbell Central in Aurora, Illinois. Currently, he's in prep for the 2017 Arnold. Hopefully, his blog, ranting, and rambling help, motivate, and educate you further in the sport we all love.
