And I gotta say, after all this time, I kind of missed it.

Over the last 2 years + I've mostly only been training one good real life friend of mine and focusing on other things.

I just got a promotion at work which means now I get a lot of internet free time and very little mental exhaustion. It allows me to not be tired as fuck when I get home so I picked up a couple clients here and there and it feels nice.

And I figured with all that time I get to browse the net at work (I really missed being able to do that, holy shit), I could start making training programs on jsp for FG again.


I saw a lot of new faces here, so I'm not gonna pretend like I need no introduction. I'm Burns, I used to be on H&F all the time a few years ago. I trained for strongman competitions back then and have since gotten injured (and a bruised ego) which led to a complete stop in training (myself and others). I wrote several articles about training. Some of which are outdated (and I've since known better), others still hold very true and useful to this day.

Here are a few examples:

Despite not working out anymore, I have still kept myself as up to date as I could with new articles and trends. I have been certified with ISSA and Charles Poliquin ICP. To be quite honest, those certifications mean almost nothing compared to my personal experience in the gym. I worked as an independent personal trainer for 2 years full time and I've helped a truckload of JSPers achieve their goals in the past. I'm here to do this again.

If you have questions, you can PM them or post here.



Edit: I just clicked the article about splits and realized it's from 2009. Has it really been that long? OMFG!

when and why did you stop working out

i'm one of those new faces and once i get past this beginner stage and ready to advance, will be paying for your services glad you have some time now.

I thought it was 2 years ago, but it seems like my sense of time is complete garbage.

I'm 27 now, I stopped a few months before I turned 24.

I stopped because I injured my knee/foot/lower back pretty badly (The handle of a 400lbs farmer's walk broke off. I was still holding on to the other one so it dragged me down pretty fast while the one that broke off fucked up my knee and foot.)

That was only a year after I had finally recovered from my pectoral tear. When I realized I had no shot at competing in WSM I just gave up training entirely.
