My father Sets Virginia State Bench Press Record

My father recently just broke the Virginia State record for his age group and in 1993 my father benched more weight than anyone in the entire East Coast. He was crowned "beast of the east".
My pops turned 72 in September, and is still chasing that dream to not be the strongest in the East, but in the world. You never know your limits till you push yourself to them. Each day you wake up, you have an opportunity, to challenge yourself to be the best. Whether this post makes you begin Day #1 or your en route to a challenge. Team OCR,Opportunity. Challenge.

72 year old Arlington Man sets Virginia Bench Press Record

Lloyd O. Pierson, 72, of Arlington, Virginia, set a Virginia Bench Press Record this past weekend during the Mid Atlantic Regional Raw Powerlifting meet in Zions Crossroads, which is near Charlottesville.  Pierson lifted a total of 242.5 lbs and established the record in his weight/age group.  His lift was very close (8.5 lbs.) to the world record.  Raw Powerlifting is an international Powerlifting organization in which lifters are drug free and do not use any assisted apparel to help in the lift.  Pierson has been a competitive lifter for over 50 years.

Training outside!

Training in the gym can get repetitive, and also running on the treadmill can get boring. Take your talents outside. Work hard and enjoy some vitamin D, its Summer.

MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

If you really want to lose weight, you have to stick with your plan. I see many people get distracted and stop their programs. You have to find your motivation and draw strength from that when you get down or have negative thoughts. You have to stay motivated to achieve what you want. This is an OPPORTUNITY to change you! Believe in yourself, and MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

MONDAY MORNING

MONDAY MORNING! Nothing changes if nothing changes. Think about it. You have to be the one to make the first step. Don’t ever think you are alone through a struggle. There are always going to be people there to help you guide through anything. But at the end of the day it’s you against yourself. Have a wonderful day everyone, and MAKE IT COUNT #TeamOCR

ONE YEAR:

Exactly one year ago I was sitting in my brother’s house in Dallas, Texas, hung-over, unemployed and weighing in at 245 lbs with 19.9% body fat. I had a goal, and my goal was to lose 50 pounds in one year. Today I weigh 180 pounds, and my life has changed.  I looked myself in the mirror and told myself I needed a change, and needed a change quick. Being healthier has made me who I am today, as a personal trainer, a boot camp instructor, and someone who has trained professional athletes around the world. Weightloss can happen!!! If you need advice, please feel free to messege me.

Have a safe Fourth of July!!!

Breakfast of champions

Mornings can be very distracting, but being prepared in days advance can help you have a healthier lifestyle. As most of you have heard breakfast breeds champions. Smart start your day and make sure you eat breakfast. DONT HAVE EXCUSES, that you have a lack of time. Sleeping in 5 more minutes, does not over justice having a healthier lifestyle. Enjoy your day, eat breakfast and MAKE TODAY COUNT! Thanks

Fitness: Make it your hobby!!

In July I hit a low...Unemployed, 1200 miles away from home, little money, and overweight.

But today after work I decided fitness, and being a personal trainer has changed my life. I wanted to write a little about Fitness, and to address some thoughts and maybe get people more motivated. If you haven't read my first blog post, on July 4th I was 243 lbs, hungover, out of money and 19% body fat. As I sit here after having a solid week I want to tell you fitness can be a hobby.
Day #1, does not come easy, but with progressing and loving every moment of it can bring you happiness, bring you life changing memories. If you need help, if you need training, I will help you. Fitness, has become my life. If you want guidance, let me know. As a trainer, if I'm not helping out the person next to me than I am not doing my job. Three words I tweet, and say regularly.
OPPORTUNITY. CHALLENGE. RESULTS.
