My Name is Keith, nice to meet you all here on this forum. I have been lurking here for almost a year before I decided to sign up. I thought that this site was more for strongman type training and athletes. Well I am very interested in Strongman type training since it does seem to be alot more functional for everyday type strength.
About me.
Well I am 31, married and have a daughter who is 4. I am in the Army and currently in FT. Hood TX (45 min north of Austin) I am going to be moving to FT. Lewis WA in the spring. I can't wait to go up to the Pacific NW, this heat in TX is killing me. I am from MN originally and hope to go back there some day. I miss the lakes and the four seasons.
I have been to Iraq in 2003 to 2004 for the beginning of the war. I hope that I do not have to go back for a second time. (I won't go into that haha)
About my training.
I have been seriously into strength and weight training for about 8 years. I currently stick to the weight room since that is all I have. I would like to try new things like Olympic lifting and strongman type training.
I have noticed that the way I go about my training and the things I do will make others watch me in the gym. (I train at Gold's Gym) For instance I will do farmers walks at Golds with the 150's and people will look at me like :eek: "where is he going with those?" haha lol. That and I have made myself love squats. I do a full squat and not a half or chopped rep like most in my gym. Now I don't think that I am doing anything extraordinary but I guess when you compare what I do to the average gym goer.
About my goals.
I am first and foremost to be a good example and role model to my family. :)
I am going to buy my first home after I move to Washington next spring.
I am going to get a college degree.
I am going to get bigger and stronger! :BP:
Why I registered.
Well I should have along time ago. But upon hearing the sad news about Jesse I felt I needed to give my condolences. Even though I have not ever spoke to him or met him, I felt as though I knew him. When I hear of someone passing (that I don't know) it doesn't really affect me, But Jesse did. My first post was in the thread "Jesse" and he will be missed.
Well that about covers it.
Once again I am glad to be here. :)
