Things I learned at Strength Forum 2025

If you don't ask you will never know the answer.

Obviously we all know who @Pete Cerqua is. Before I started coaching with Pete I was 255 pounds. Life had kicked my butt and my weight showed it. I heard Pete talk about how losing weight had helped his business. After I decided to move forward with this business I made a decision to lose weight. Going through coaching Pete reinforced that idea. He challenged me to lose weight. A lot of weight. It is working, people are taking notice. Now the goal is to get down to 190 pounds.

I had to ask Dr. Ellington Darden to measure my arms. Especially when the topic of his talk was arms. I don't know about y'all but when I got interested in lifting I wanted to grow my arms. I remember in his book "The New High Intensity Training" Darden talks about the length of the muscle determines it's potential growth. So I had to ask him about the potential of my arms. He measure them at 17 inches. He said I can add another inch to each arm.

I also asked Jim Flanagan if I could come back for a workout.

Asked how the workout demo guinea pigs are selected. Then volunteered myself for selection.

I also wrote a little less than 14 pages of notes. I need to sit down and reread through them multiple times to digest it all.

If you are on the fence about going to Strength Forum next year GO! Ask questions and be bold.
