November 3, 2008: I am very proud of Kevin Barkdull who's Pro MMA record is now 1-0 as he beat Jason Bott in 2nd Round by RNC. I was Kevin's S&C coach and I worked corner. Kevin is a hard worker and I am honored to be part of his team. Tamara did his nutrition to get him from 205+ to 185 (in about a month) for his fight without losing strength. Not an easy task, but there is no one better at fight nutrition than Tamara.

AUGUST 2008
It has been a busy summer. Late July, I had 3 different Strongman shows on the same weekend. Then after a brief rest, it was down to Houston for the 1st OldeTime Strongman University Seminar

(F.R., left to right) Gavin Rulon, Aaron “Mighty Mac” McKenzie, Dennis Rogers, Ryan Pitts, Michael Gillette, Greg Matonick, Chris Rider. (B.R., left to right) Logan Christopher, Raliegh Barrett, John McGrath, Mike “The Machine” Bruce, Tyler Bramlett, Tim Fox. Missing, Instructors Pat Povilaitis and Brian Brushwood.

Then I had about 10 days to recover before Dennis Rogers, Pat Povilaitis and Mike Bruce were in Indiana for the Beck's Hybrids' Field Days. Dennis & Pat performed 9 shows in 3 days. Mike "the Machine" Bruce came up for the Saturday shows and was a huge hit with the Beck's crowd.

(L to R me, Dennis Rogers, Mike Bruce, Pat Povilaitis)

Mike Bruce & Pat Povilaitis squaring off. We called this "Clash of the Titans" .

I got in on the act as well, warming up the crowd for Dennis by performing a Bent Press with my 88lbs Kettlebell.

After a few days rest, I decided to ramp up my strongman training.

I put a little bend in this wrench during my lunch break on 8-28-08.
