In the beginning

I'm a former college football player (defensive lineman) who has always loved strongman and dreamed of one day competing in IFSA or WSM, but have never taken it too seriously.  I began 2011 with a goal to lift (by my own calculations) 110,000 lbs per week while also running at least 6 miles a week.  To date I'm ahead of schedule, so I thought, never a better time to officially begin keeping track of my goals, progress, max lifts, and everything that comprises my strongman training regimen.  This is just my first post to let you know a bit of where I'm coming from, and where I'll be going with this blog, so without further ado, let's take it for a ride!
