I’ve gotten fat and out of shape and it’s time to make a change.

Diet never really got on the wagon and I admit it wasn’t priority. Some days I’d eat all day, some days none at all. It was fun and a nice break from being forced by performance contingent upon what I eat, how often and why certain foods each day. Not caring at all about performance potentially suffering took away any sense of eating in a routine of any sort. For me they are tied together.

I needed a reboot.

It may sound weird to some but many are probably the same. I teeter on unbalanced in every aspect, so getting back to training was a nice reset for me, which in theory, will help me get back more normalish and on a more balanced approach to life.

Training – Last Wed Night – knocking off the rust

Normal 10/20 warm-up
BW squat SS One Leg GM

Planks and some other stuff………

I missed Saturday’s session but Made it out Monday of this week

Normal Warm-up

Rear delt pulls: 3×15
Hammer curl: 3×10
Band fly: 3×15
Triceps pressdown: 3×15
DB press: 5×10
Bench dip: 3×10
Plank: 30sec x3
Birddog: lot’s

Like I said, I’m out of shape and seeking others in great shape doesn’t make me feel better. Any.

I’ve kept up with my walks but that wont keep me from getting fat or get me unfat.

I need to make it to the gym about 3x per week, so I’m slowly getting there.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Owner and Founder at PowerRackStrength.com
Brian is a retired world-class powerlifter with over two decades of world-class powerlifting. From 1999 to 2020, Brian Carroll was a competitive powerlifter, one of the most accomplished lifters in the sport's history. Brian started off competing in bench press competitions 'raw,' then, shortly into the journey, he gravitated toward equipped lifting as there were no "raw" categories then. You only had to choose from single-ply (USPF) and Multi-ply (APF/WPC). Brian went on to total 2730 at 275 and 2651 at 242 with more than ten times his body weight in three different classes (220, 242, 275), and both bench pressed and deadlifted over 800 pounds in two other weight classes. He's totaled 2600 over 20 times in 2 different weight classes in his career. With 60 squats of 1000lbs or more officially, this is the most in powerlifting history, regardless of weight class or federation, by anyone not named David Hoff. Brian realized many ups and downs during his 20+ years competing. After ten years of high-level powerlifting competition and an all-time World Record squat at 220 with 1030, in 2009, Brian was competing for a Police academy scholarship. On a hot and humid July morning, Brian, hurdling over a barricade at 275lbs, landed on, fell, and hurt his back. After years of back pain and failed therapy, Brian met with world-renowned back specialist Prof McGill in 2013, which changed his trajectory more than he could have imagined. In 2017, Brian Carroll and Prof McGill authored the best-selling book about Brian's triumphant comeback to powerlifting in Gift of Injury. Most recently (10.3.20) -Brian set the highest squat of all time (regardless of weight class) with 1306 lbs – being the first man to break the 1300lb squat barrier at a bodyweight of 303 lbs.
