@mccoytownsend is one of the most natural pure athletes I have coached . A kid that can play every sport at a high level. McCoy has a great attitude and work ethic and is a joy to coach. We didn’t get a long time together (under a year) , and with all his sports endeavors I didn’t get as much time with him as I would have liked. He will play out his career at Dickinson state and I wish him all the luck in the world . This kid is going to do big things . (The last slide on this post Mccoy’s holding a 60 lb med ball for reference , which is more than a 3rd of his body weight ) Explosive strength is not lacking in this young man haha. Good luck buddy we will see you back in the winter !!! by @hssranch

I know this is long overdue, but anyone who knows me knows I’m not a big social media guy. However some athletes just deserve recognition. Over the last 18 months I have had the privilege to train a very special athlete and young man. Disciplined, tough, committed,energetic are just a few words to describe @taylordoleac . I needed an athlete with all these qualities to train the way Taylor trained in the last 18 months .I used many methods including shock method , contrast methods, dynamic method, and max effort method to train Taylor. However what made his training unique is that we added Cal Dietz triphasic method. I call the mix of my conjugate methods with triphasic the triconjasick haha. I can’t take credit as @bigjackwilson came up with the name . The blend of these 2-3 week waves worked better than I ever thought. Taylor added 35 lbs of lean muscle while becoming a more powerful, stronger, and explosive athlete. The task at hand at the beginning seemed daunting. Take an accomplished long distance athlete and train him into a college level decathlete. I very much so think we achieved that with Taylor. Our job however is not done as Taylor has big big dreams . So here is to the next four years and much bigger dreams than running, throwing and jumping in college. Good luck Taylor!!! Sorry for not having very many pictures of the max effort method and dynamic methods . I would rather spot and coach than film . To be honest I never think to bust my camera out in the gym during training since we’re there to work. by @hssranch

Strongman Corporation Amateur Nationals was nothing short of amazing- What an incredible experience! All I can feel is thankful… for a body that was able to hold up to show up here amongst the best in the country as a rookie. Weighed in at 134 in the 140lb/64kg class:

Day 1
🍑 Freaking 14 squats @ 265#
🎪 65# Circus dumbbell; missed attempts 75-85
☠️ Death Medley with sled push, sprints and carries (Actually loved this)
🪨 Nicol’s stone carries at 165/135 lbs

Day 2
🛞365# Axel deadlift from various heights
🏋🏼‍♀️ Overhead Press medley; Axel bar & Log
⌛️Sandbags Over bar 125, 150, 175, 200#

There were some highs and lows, but overall, an appreciation of the athleticism of the people around me. So much to learn and to work on technique-wise. Not to mention it was my first two-day competition. On one side, I could be disappointed to not be at the top, but on the other- I F*cking showed up after only competing in Strongman for a year.

Thanks Coach @hssranch for always supporting me! chapa_makoa did freaking amazing and is my idol 🤙🏾@imua_iron_llc was my training gym with Darren watching on the livestream, and @aliya.field was so much help and got all the shots 📸

Such a memorable weekend and another starting point for what’s to come! @strongmannationals taken in Mesquite, Texas by @hssranch

My two VBall studs training together @talynbean_2030 @aurie_duncan . These two gals train hard and are a joy to train . Good luck to Aurie as she leaves this weekend for Gonzaga . Aurie is an awesome athlete full of confidence and tenacity. Can’t wait to see her dominate the college volleyball scene. Good luck!!!!

Very proud of HSS athlete @kmyers5.fit . She is one of the toughest competitors I have ever coached . Powerlifting is much more mental then people give it credit for . Kristi never backs down from a “fight” . This is a great example of her grit and tenacity. Pulling 380# at WABDL worlds for a PR. #strong #wabdlworlds #truegrit by @hssranch
