I’m a 350-pound dude in a 2X belly shirt — this ain’t gonna be pretty at the next meet.

What I try to offer here is information to both coaches and obese people about why and how to exercise — different reasons than the conventional assumption concerning weight loss — considering some of the difficulties inherent in the condition.

It all started about two weeks post-Arnold, when I secured my second win back-to-back. I did what I’d always done—push the limits, take drugs, and eat food.

JP foresaw two possible outcomes for today’s meet: total 2300 or beat Domenick Minnici to secure another win.

This one still makes us laugh. Funny how some things change while others stay the same. Enjoy…

I was 417 at my biggest, and very ill-informed about my strength. Powerlifting seems to have a general acceptance of “bigger” meaning “stronger,” but bigger isn’t always better.

Team Nebobarbell and I went to Murfeesboro, Tennessee, where I took a crack at one of my competition bucket list lifts.

As JP shares in his first athlete log, his goal is to entertain, motivate, and educate, helping you become the best version of yourself.

It feels good to reach a goal total and nab several PRs in the process.
