Happy New Year! I spent my New Year's Eve setting up with some of my favorite people for the Antique Alley Arkansas Antique Show inside the Conway Expo Center. I started setup earlier today to help those who do family things on January 1st. It made for a much smoother...
I noticed my gym posted a reel with a short snippet of me doing back rack box squats today, so I took a screen shot. It isn't the most flattering photo because I was coming up from the seated position, but I try to take screen shots when I can to see my progress. I...
