Iron Clad Ben Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Wow been 3 months since I updated this. Since then:-Got into chiropractic schools in LA and Dallas. Choosing LA.-Ran a 3-hour race with Robert a week ago. He won and set the course record, I took 9th with a distance of 17.98 miles.-Got 26 one-arm pushups the other day. These are easily my favorite exercise right now. I do them every day for fun. Now, training for a marathon on 2/18/13. This past Sunday I ran 17.60 miles in 3:10:00. Day before that I worked out at Bonebreaker with Mike and Bart. Plan is to bump my long runs up by 10-15 minutes a week. Expecting to do my marathon in about 4:15 or so. Also working on cleaning up the diet. Been eating too many black beans and corn tortillas lately! They don't sit with me well and bring down my emotional energy. I got a new Omega VRT 350HD juicer for Hanukah so I've been trying to drink a green juice or a citrus juice every day. I'm not going to be militant about trying to eat 100% raw, just going to try to eat a shit-ton of fruit and greens. I'm feeling really, really good today and if that continues it should make keeping the diet on track that much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Clad Ben Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Wow, so looks like last year at New Year's I tried reviving this blog once again and it didn't work. Update:I moved from Austin to Southern California last year. I'm now a student at Los Angeles College of Chiropractic. My school has a gym that's free for students that I have been lifting at RELIGIOUSLY since September. Suffice to say I've made some serious GAINZ. In the past few weeks I've shattered bench and deadlift records for myself. I feel like at age 32 I'm the strongest, fittest and healthiest I've ever been in my life. I'm cut as fuck and just loving the health and fitness lifestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's child's play, I can warm up with it. He really taught me how to actually engage my pectoralis muscles which has made a HUGE difference. Here's a video of him and I from last week when I deadlifted double my body weight on the trap bar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
