About Me

My photo
I am 20 years old at Springfield College. I started Crossfit in the winter of 2008 and have went on and off with that and P90x. But since the summer of 2009 until summer of 2011 I did Crossfit then switched to Strength and Conditioning. I Played soccer lacrosse basketball and ran track throughout my life. I played lacrosse at Endicott but I was injured and did not play the entire season. Another passion is strength and conditioning which has changed my life for the better. My midterm goal is to compete in a powerlifting competition, run an ultra and run the Boston Marathon, and my ultimate long term goal is to become a Strength and Conditioning coach, a lacrosse coach, and to open my own Strength and Conditioning gym as well as break the record for bench press at 165lbs bw. Along with training for my goals I enjoy pushing my body to its limits and seeing what the human body is capable of by doing activities that require a lot of physical and mental aspects.

It was good to squat again seeing how I have not been able to squat in a long time at a decent weight. I did feel my injury during the squat so I really have no idea what is going to happen during the season but I am going to play until I can not play anymore. I have been giving some thought to what I want to do after lacrosse is over whether that is soon or later on in life and I have come up with one thing as of right now. I know this is a long shot and you may think I am crazy for thinking it but I would want to try for the world record bench press at 165lbs body weight. My thinking in this is that my bench has always been my best lift I am only 19 and I can bench 300lbs with a regular bench. Taking time to learn a powerlifting bench would eventually add weight to my max as well. Focusing on the bench for a serious amount of time and with the right training from a world record holder at my gym might give me a shot at this goal. This is of course a tough challenge but after lacrosse I need something tough to shoot for. I was so used to getting a lot of attention in high school for my athletic ability and going from that to nothing last year was kind of shitty and I want to make something of my self again whether it is lacrosse or going for something that might not even happen. Any ways these are just thoughts going threw my messed up head. We will see how everything plays out in the future.
