I'm pushing my bodyweight up and increasing strength. On July 22nd 2012 I was back squatting 90 kilos for 3 sets of 5. Last week I was able to squat 297lbs(134.7kg) for a single. I've also pushed my deadlift up to 130k for a single. In this time my bodyweight has increased from 150lbs to 167lbs.

My goals for Halloween are to deadlift 400lbs and squat 315lbs. I'd like to get up to a bodyweight of around 200lbs at 5'8" as a long term goal but that will probably take much longer than till Halloween.

Why?

  • Because it's fun
  • Because strong men are harder to kill and more useful in general than weak men
  • Because I have an undying fear of being a pussy
  • Because I want to increase my bone density
  • Because I want to compete in Olympic weightlifting competitions one day
  • Because I want increased strength for playing BJJ
  • Because I want to look AND BE strong and sexy for the wimminz(and possibly some guyz too)

What I will be working on come Fall semester: Intro to Abstract Algebra 501, Advanced Calculus 407 and spanish 101

Why?

  • Because I want my mind strong like my body and I need to major in something
