Shoulder day at Bedrock gym in the QZone. Got it done with sledge hammers, cinder blocks, tires and rock buckets. Did two different shoulder presses with tires.

Social distancing workouts at Bedrock Gym in the QZone. We wrapped ropes on both sides of the tire. I’d do one exercise pulling the tire in one direction and Timmy Rosenthal would do another exercise pulling the tire back to its original place. #quarantineworkout #trainhard #gym #fitness #training #motivation https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XsS9fDVXj/?igshid=hhbw52kjkhe7

The Quarantine isn’t keeping me out of the gym. Only now I’ve got my own. Yea it’s in my driveway and I’m getting creative with my exercises. Yesterday I got in some tire deadlifts and rows. Get after it. #trainhard #fitness #gym #motivation https://www.instagram.com/p/B_FSwVHjYJa/?igshid=1b8pmc533cpxh

With guns being closed you don’t have to spend a ton of money on equipment. You can also improvise. #gym #fit #dogs #dogsofinstagram #trainhard #improvise #homegym #bedrock #qzone https://www.instagram.com/p/B-8rhkZDgU_/?igshid=121nxomb2kyxw

Yesterday I got up at 4:30 am to make it to my workout on time. Got to the St Louis airport and had to leave my supplements at TSA because I was being paged for my flight and didn’t have time to inspect them. Changed planes in Chicago and landed in Portland about 7 hours later. Drove 3.5 hours to Bend and got a great workout at @boss.sports.performance with @kboss11 and @zachsudfeld . Definitely worth the commute to crush a workout with these two guys at Kevin’s awesome gym. For the pic they made me feel like I was casting for one of the #lollipopkids from the #wizardofoz #trainhard #gymlife #nevergiveup #performancecenter #giants #raiders #chiefs #jets #superbowlchamps (at Boss Sports Performance) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxxEXTdjBC8/?igshid=wl5umutd5bbb

I was looking for a place to train today and there are several Powerhouse Gyms in the area. I like finding gyms that have great atmospheres and end up in Hard Core Gyms, Old School Gyms and Performance Centers in many cases. I’ve liked the Powerhouse Gyms I’ve trained in before, so I figured I’d hit one of them. Turns out I ended up in the Highland Park gym, which is the Original Powerhouse and it’s over 40 years old. Great gym, lots of equipment, and a lot of people working hard. I was getting ready to leave and this big guy says, “Hey, where are you from?” Turns out that it was Ron Love. A former IFBB bodybuilder who competed in the 80’s and 90’s. He competed in 8 Mr. Olympia’s and was inducted into the IFBB Hall of Fame. I had wrapped up my workout and he was waiting on a client. We talked for over an hour about him competing and training. My transformation. Mindset and consistency when it comes to reaching your goals. Ron still looks great and he’s still training hard. It was a real pleasure and inspiration meeting him. @Ronlove_ifbbpro #ifbbpro #ifbb #trainhard #nevergiveup #mrolympia #fitfam #powerhouse #bodybuilding (at Powerhouse Gym Highland Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxdzpdXDxba/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v7wt0urqplkc

Yesterday I ran in the @greenberetchallenge with @drewntravis @michael.comstock.79 and Brandon. Our team took second place in 3 hours and 1 minute. I knew this was going to be challenging because my friend #markballas. is the one who put it on. This was the toughest event that I’ve competed in. It was just under 9 miles. The terrain was tough with lots of inclines, mud and water. The obstacles involve carrying and dragging all kinds of heavy odd objects for long distance through the messed up terrain. Things like yokes with sand bags, railroad ties and sleds with the sandman (uniform stuffed with a lot of sand). I’m happy with how we finished. My legs were smoked. I was actually getting spasms in my hands and legs on my drive back home. The great thing is that my joints all held up pretty good. The last race that I think I did was another Green Beret Team Challenge two years ago. I’m getting back into these again but I’m going to have to ramp up my training. Some of the OCRs out there could be really considered just fun. The GBC is a bitch. It will test you and it will kick your ass #greenberetchallenge #team #ocr #race #endurance #pain #strength #mudrun #outdoorlife #motivation #goals #nevergiveup #fitfam (at Big River Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpNrbqjnv53/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u11yoykavrkr

Looking back at these last few days of rock climbing has really reenforced my views of life. If you truly are living life than you should be doing things that you enjoy. The funny thing is that when I left for Vegas I talked with my friend @steveholmsen about getting in some hikes. And the first day started as a hike. But our hike turned into a climb. And our climb got steeper. I do love hiking but climbing added many more elements. You don’t really need a lot of confidence to hike. You don’t really need to incorporate a lot of strength to hike. You don’t need much focus either. You don’t have to think or strategize too much to hike. And if you surround yourself with doubt while hiking, what’s the worst that can happen? If you’re going to climb you need all of this and you can’t have doubt. Just take a look at what’s in front of you and above you and make decisions that will help you succeed. I feel really good about myself after taking on this challenge. And I’ve still got a rush going through me which makes me really feel like I’m living. Can’t wait for my next challenge. This was also a very different kind of workout. It was a full body workout and my heart rate reach 191 bpr. #focus #climbing #strong #hike #outdoorlife #outdoors #fitfam #fitness #adrenaline #rockclimbing #challenge #livingmybestlife #justdoit (at Calico Basin, Red Rock Conservation Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/Boxt5vknFXM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18rhjox672yc1

Went for my second real rock climb ever. The first was yesterday. I’ve climb a little when I was younger but nothing like this. It’s awesome. I could truly embrace rock climbing even more. Very challenging and it makes you think. It reminds me of solving a puzzle or something. You really have to think about how you are going to get over and across all of these obstacles. Finding a hold for your hand or a place to put your foot. I had an awesome workout doing it. I burned over 1100 calories and my heart rate hit 191. Had a full body workout and really felt it when i got done. It’s exciting to be able to conquer natural challenges. Definitely don’t want to make a mistake but you have to go up with confidence not doubt and you have to stayed focused. #outdoorlife #hike #redrockcanyon #vegas #confidence #goals #challenge #climbing #rockclimbing #trainhard #focus #strong #fitness #motivation #heights (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bos65cCHE-b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hn6eg93t25r4
