2 years. 18 lbs of real tissue. @dandalenberg.bb is a (very organized and methodical) workhorse.
.
I am reposting this story Dan posted because this is really cool. Training for strength and training for maximal muscle accrual are two different things. They can go hand in hand…but Dan has been savagely strong for as long as I’ve known him. Now he’s strong…and pretty damn large.
.
There’s something to be said for going all in towards the goal…

Haven’t been back to the good ol’ KSB in a while so it was very nice to train with the door open again. I have spent a lot of hours in this garage (as well as the previous iterations.)

Today was the final day of this wave of floor press, and all things considered it ended well. Felt a pec tweak on my last triple but didn’t seem to be too major. Going to give myself a week away from this movement and deload the pressing to make sure we are in a good spot.

Still being able to do multiple sets of 325lbs with a fairly low effort is a great spot to be into I’m excited to build these up.

On to the next one.

- 325lbs 2x3
- 285lbs 1x5 (called it here to be safe)

I slept for over 7 hours last night 👏 👏 👏

First time I’ve heard my alarm since the beginning of April 😅. I forgot what it sounded like! Never been so happy to hear it.

Time to grow. Trained HARD today. Small change to pendulum for the time being. Love this thing. Big set on the hack too.

Well fed, staying tight, body BURNING through food as we reverse back up. I feel GREAT.

2025 Jr. Nats Lightheavyweight Champ.
.
Dan won the lightheavies at the Detroit Championships and then he worked his butt off to improve for a bigger stage.
.
We’re taking the year now to improve. We’ve discussed a plan- time to execute. (And if we know Dan, and we do…this’ll all be excel sheet’d out and nailed down asap).

To say im ecstatic to let someone else take the reigns on my training after nearly 5 years is an understatement. To be doing a more pb/bb focused training is even better. Looking forward to the work @ddalenberg and I will be doing together moving forward! I’m already wrecked after day 1 lol

PLU Raw Power Battle

Squat: 285kg/628.31lbs
Bench: 182.5kg/402.34lbs
Deadlift: 287.5kg/633.82lbs

Total: 755kg/1664.49lbs
Dots: 441.90

Today was my first meet in a long time where I had no expectations, aspirations, or main goals once we noticed how the day was going to be. Instead we pivoted into maximizing the day to the best of our ability. No pr’s were set but it doesn’t mean today wasn’t a huge mental milestone. Also the first meet in a long time that I didn’t cut, which will still be true for the foreseeable future.

Through this prep I have had a very debilitating hamstring/glute issue that basically rendered most of my deadlift training useless. I tried to pivot with it a few times but nothing seemed to really work. Couple that with the bicep issues I continue to face with squatting and you have a recipe for a sub maximal day.

I was able to compete in my 17th meet, going 8/9, surrounded by the love of my life, my best friends, and tons of support from the powerlifting community. Today was about having fun and really just enjoying the fact that I am even able to still lift at this level even. It was awesome to meet so many new lifters and try to make a positive impact for so many of them.

Next up is taking a step back and really addressing these mobility issues and building the base going forward. I know I have potential to continue to push but we need to be smart about it.

Huge thanks to everyone that made today happen. I love you all.

Prep Week 11 - Day 2

I knew fatigue and everything was adding up so sometimes you have to post the losses with the wins. Missing your top set of the last heavy squat day of prep is not where you want to end but I got on my toes right out of the hole and it pitched me forward. There was no recovering from that so I just had everyone take it. Thankfully everyone was very quick to save it and no injuries other than my ego.

Time to rest up, shake off the loss, and move forward on to the meet. I have no doubt in my mind that I will execute well on meet day, it’s just a matter of getting there healthy now.

On to the next one.
- 257.5kg/567.69lbs
- 272.5kg/600.76lbs
- 292.5kg/644.85lbs
