The Self Made Blog: 6500-Pound Challenge

Why I Did This

First and foremost, welcome to the Self Made blog! I'm really excited about the opportunity that this presents me in being able to write and connect with many people who share similar and not-so-similar views as myself.

I put this together because I wanted a forum in which I could think, write, and speak freely. While Twitter allowed this to a certain extent, there is only so much you can say in 140 characters. At the other extreme I have my monthly newsletter and articles on my website that are more formal and require a certain amount of research in order to be done properly. However, I wanted something in between the two where I could openly express many of the ideas that are going through my head and write on topics that I am interested in but know little to nothing about and therefore do not feel qualified to write an actual article on them. I would also like to use this blog as a means of updating others on how my own training is going so you all can see that I practice what I preach.

My hope with this blog is to not only educate others, but to bring other people into the conversation as a way of educating myself as well. Like I stated above, my posts here will be much less researched based than my articles and I will allow my opinion to come out in these posts as well. So here's to making the world a better place, one athlete at a time.

Get big or die tryin'.
