Hey Matt (and gang!) Now that I have my head out of the books - another fancy degree but the cost is a slight muffin-top around my middle - I think it's time...
Hi Leslie! Unfortunately on Wednesday I was struck with a virus, terrible congestion, fever etc. so I could not make the event. Yes, they do have women...
Hey Matt... That's unfortunate! Good thing it's a free event! I tried to sign up for the Chicago event in September and it implies that the event is already...

Hey Matt. Is registration available for the CA STREND? I keep gaining weight, but my body fat is still in single digits. I expect to drop 6-7 pounds the first...

Hoping for 2:00 but it is proving very difficult. I have a Strong man contest on the 27th, and I am going for a Lightweight World record in Farmer's walk, 55...
The farmer's walk sounds interesting. How are you training for this? That's a lot of weight. All of my round plates add up to 385, but there is not a good way...

Good luck Greg! Definitely some serious hours for a two-week time frame. In preparation for Strend, I've been putting in several hours at the gym combined with...
Those are impressive numbers. Keep up the good work. Especially for your practice sessions it really makes sense to focus on form. You don't want to be...
