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.

Bikram Yoga

So a lot has been going on since I went came back from my week in the woods. My knee and elbow have been acting up but I have been doing consistent ice baths and that seems to be working but it is pretty damn expensive to buy 3 dollars worth of ice every time....I guess thats where my jewish side comes out. Everything seemed to be a go on Monday and nothing hurt to bad. I am starting a new cycle of madcow and then after this one I will be doing a cycle of Lane Nortans program which should be a good time.
