So much fun watching my Strongman athlete, Mary, kick absolute butt today at her comp. New PRs, new lifts, and met the king of Bodybuilding himself 🙌🏻 taken in Round Up Inn At Will Rogers by @thejoshua_

I won tonight and didn’t even compete 🏆

I couldn’t be more proud of all three of my athletes. Each of them showed up, gave it their all, and put on one hell of a show. It takes a lot to push your physical limits, especially infront of hundreds of watchful eyes. The sport of Strongman certainly was made better today because of these three

Joshua C Smith earned a second place 🥈 finish in the Master’s 40+ division. It’s always a spectacle when this guy decides to throw around scary amounts of weight most couldn’t dream of moving. Did I mention he pulled a semi truck farther than anyone in his class today? Can’t wait to have him join me at nationals this coming June

Amber Boyd earned a second place 🥈 finish in the Novice Woman’s Middleweight division. She accomplished the impossible over the past 10 weeks. Not only did she pack on some serious muscle and strength, she ALSO lost over 10+ pounds in the process. The odds couldn’t have been more stacked against her. She’s the definition of honest to god determination

Mary Kathryn Waters - Carrillo earned a first place 🥇 finish in the Novice Woman’s Heavyweight division. I’m pretty sure if you tallied the amount of smiles generated at comp, she would account for half of them. Her positivity infected everyone, and was absolutely a vital component of her much deserved victory. The “Mentality is everything” crowd just witnessed another reason to stick to their belief

As always, thank you Battle Axe Barbell for hosting such a great event. It’s a daunting task to proficiently navigate 100+ athletes around huge crowds, heavy weights, car deadlifts, & semi truck extravaganzas. My people felt right at home

Being strong is cool. Super fun, too. I love what I do ♥️ taken in Battle Axe Barbell by @thejoshua_

Hello everyone,

On March 9th, 2025, my mother, Laura Archer, peacefully joined our Lord after bravely concluding her battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS).

Words cannot fully express the sorrow that we are all feeling at this time. Yet, our hearts are equally united in the unparalleled impact of Mom’s love, actions, and legacy.

She was surrounded by an immeasurable amount of love and support. We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make her final days as meaningful as possible.

I am struggling to find the right words in this moment. My heart is broken.

I will leave you with a quote she correctly knew I would find. I believe she would want each of you to carry these words with you:

“A person’s worth is not measured by the length of their life, but by the impact they have on the world.”

I love you, Mom by @thejoshua_

We took home the hardware y’all 🏆

I am beyond proud of all of my people who competed at the Resistance of the Strong(wo)men competition yesterday

🥇x3 First Places
🥉x2 Third Places
🎃x2 Halloween Costume Prizes

Everyone placed, everyone left with minimal to no injuries, everyone had a fantastic time & walked away better/stronger than when they entered

Thank you @rise_of_the_strongmen for hosting such an enjoyable competition and contributing to the positive culture of the Strongman community

This was such a release for me, personally. Pushing myself, being around a fun crowd, watching people’s training pay off tenfold. Another reminder of why I love this stuff

(Can also say this was Baby Lilah’s first Strongman competition she’s been a part of thanks to my lovely wife’s participation in the Halloween parade portion)

This whole getting stronger and healthier thing is worth it y’all 💪🏻 taken in Rise Gym by @thejoshua_

🎉 Baby Shower Gym Surpise 🎉

So, the plan was to arrive at the gym an hour early for my seminar on Practical Applications and Methods for Muscle Hypertrophy

However, due to the highly classified organizational efforts of @marilyn.0910 , my wife and I walked RIGHT into an unexpected baby shower

It was so emotionally moving to see so many of the people I train taking time out of their busy lives to be there for Victoria and I

Thank you to everyone who came out/was there in spirit. Truly, we are so incredibly blessed to have each of you in our lives taken in Rock Fitness by @thejoshua_

My wife made these Red Velvet Oreo cookies and I’m only posting about it to make every one of you jealous.

Am I being spiteful. Maybe. Am I devouring one of these right now as you read this post? No, because they’re already gone 😭😭😭 by @thejoshua_

“I don’t casually or easily recommend businesses or professionals unless I have a great experience.

In just a month with Josh as a trainer, both Dawson and I have already felt healthier, stronger, and empowered!

Josh is the best coach Dawson and I have ever met, as well as a great and professional person.

We’ve been to other fitness places and hired a few other coaches. Most of them are like “Chinese Buffet,” all you can eat but without substance or quality. But with Josh, we feel like we’re in the right place, with the right trainer at the right time! Finally, we are enjoying a real gourmet dish, a “Filet Mignon!”

He has been very understanding and attentive and has developed a thoughtful and pragmatic plan to help accomplish my goals. Considering my lack of knowledge about fitness, for me, it’s “Safety First.” This is also something that Josh prioritizes in his workout plans.

Josh is very personable, patient and knowledgeable. I think any good person will enjoy his fun personality.

I would recommend anyone who is interested in fitness and in need of a trainer to check him out first.”
