Just a quick summary of the lat 2 years of my life in hopes of inspiring at least 1 person.....
I had a stroke at 48 yrs old, and lost my business. Having a stroke will change your attitude and outlook on life in a hurry.
Nov 1st, 2011 at a weight of just under 280 lbs I decided to change my life. I started to lose weight.
May 13th, 2012, my 49th B-Day, I weighed 167 lbs.
July, 2012 after trying and disliking several forms of exercise, I started weight lifting. Having NO IDEA what I was doing.
Nov, 2013 discovered Steve Shaw, Muscle and Brawn, and most importantly, Power Lifting.
April, 2013. After 5 months of PL training I entered my first meet and won the Masters II 181 lb class with a 700 lb total
April, 2013 Discovered, and started following "BIG" by M&B member Jonathan Byrd
July, 2013, entered and won my next meet with a total of 788 lbs
Oct, 2013, entered and won my next meet with a total of 834 lbs
Dec, 2013, competed in the 21st Florida State Senior Games...a mini Olympics held here in Florida. Won the Dead Lift with a 336 lift, and the Overall with a total of 859 lbs.
Feb 2013....this is where this has all been leading to....yesterday the Florida State Senior Games released their updated State Record Book:
RAW Dead Lift...82.5 KG weight class...Marvin Wheeler, Hasting, Florida...152.5 Kg
RAW 3 Lift Total...82.5 Kg weight class...Marvin Wheeler, Hastings, Florida...390.5 Kg
SOOOOOOOOOOOO
You think you are to fat to get into shape?
You thing you are too OLD to start weight training?
You think you are not strong enough to compete??
THINK AGAIN....I am nobody special......and I was able to do all 3.
YOU JUST HAVE TO WANT IT BAD ENOUGH!!
