Josh’s First USSF Meet training log (April 20th. WFAC)
A brief introduction. Have lingered around the Starting Strength forums since 2010. Went to college in Wichita Falls (Grew up an hour south in Graham) and stumbled across WFAC on total accident when I was 22. Had been looking into changing my training style at the time as I used to do a ton of cardio work for my background in pro wrestling. Had messed my back up pretty bad in a tag team match around April 2010 but being 22, uninsured and wrestling being my main source of income... wisely decided to figure out a way to strengthen my back rather than go to a doctor or stop wrestling.
From there I was blessed enough to train under the old 70s Big crew, Josh Wells and Juli Peterson from May to August of 2010 at WFAC. Within 6 weeks all lingering back issues I had dealt with from wrestling for 4 years were gone. Since then I’ve competed in powerlifting off/on since 2015, got to work with Michael Wolf via SSOC before financial burdens hit and am now prepping for my first Strengthlifting meet.
Figured it would be good to document training on here/take a look around at what other competitors are doing.
