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.

Today is the first day back after the meet and I am rejuvenated with a fire like no other. It is a great feeling to have this passion again. I have something in my life to train for now so I am not just training for nothing. Having my first powerlifting meet makes me want to beat my records so much more and compete at a higher level each time. One thought that crossed my mind a day or so after the meet is that I am officially a powerlifter since I have a meet under my belt. Which is a pretty cool thing that I can say now. Squat was a light day and I nailed a heavy press not sure if it is a pr but definitely close to one and the heaviest I have done in a while. Deadlift felt real easy now that I have the confidence to pull heavy which is awesome. The holding the plates that I did after my last set of deadlift I will be doing after every last set from now on to make my grip strength stronger. It is something Ben told me about that he saw and i decided it was necessary for me to do it since I lack in grip strength. I will be getting back on the fasted cardio in the morning on monday....just enjoying some extra sleep this week.
