Yearly Archives: 2018

Man, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. Why? It’s simple, really. I’ve felt like a sham lately… looking back on old posts I was jumping around in what I was doing, one week I’m back to powerlifting and the next I’m focused on Strongman. However, something hit me today; I’m […]

There’s no place like… your comfort zone!

How did I miss the start of Lupus Awareness Month!?!? Guess I’ve just been too busy living and lifting! It’s my favorite time of the year, it’s that one month where all the spoonies come out and post “helpful” facts about what you should know about Lupus… The pull at […]

Gearing up… & Lifting on such a great holiday!

New Year, Same Me… New Year, Same Me + Training for a March Competition! Woo… Typing that was a rush.  Yes, after about a year and half off from injury, Lupus and chronic pain; I have decided to jump back in and compete.  I’d be lying if I said that […]
