C'mon, brag a little...What accomplishments or goals have you met fitness wise as a father/dad? I love having something to work towards and find it to be a type of therapy as I push myself towards physical goals. Here are mine: -x2 half marathons -x1 marathon -Zion 20mile trail race -Ran 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours (Goggin's challenge) -Benched 315lbs -80hr fast (one of the hardest things I have done) -MURPH under 50min What should I do in 2025? I am so scared of triathlons because of the swimming!

Why do you workout? Working out as a father and husband can be a daunting task. You are already tired (no matter what time of day it is) and probably have a dozen other things that need your attention. I work out because I refuse to be lazy through my kids childhood. I want to be the dad that is playing sports with my kids, going on hikes, wake surfing, on the mat coaching wrestling, etc. Ya know, superman.

Who wants to go on a ruck with me next Saturday morning?

Do you have one? lol or do you just get moving? Everyone I know excersizes differently. I'm on a Push Pull Legs (/skip) split 2x weekly and I love it. I actually don't think it's "Optimal" for muscle growth (Full Body 3x weekly probably is) but.. I think the up side of getting my day started extremely well, outweigh some of the delayed results. I'm still seeing proggressive overload and gains all over the place. But there is the off day where I can only give 10%. And on those days, as long as I give 100% of that 10... the benefits for my mental health and overall productivity are the same (if not better) I'm always down to hit a lift! I'm at EoS on University in Orem every morning at 7am (ish). I can get one person in for free anytime. JOIN ME

Hit a one rep max bench of 315 today. 5 years ago that was my squat one rep max. Cool.
