You guys won’t beat these pictures for a while…
I wanted to write an article that would inspire quality strength training and eating. The article will have to wait, because you all need to see these pictures that were sent to me today. And you need to see them immediately.
I have a friend named Springer. He trains with AC in Georgia. He sent me a picture of his weekly groceries (he weighs 215 right now and wants to be 230 by December):
Yeah. No big deal.

Then I got another e-mail.
Ladies, this is Johnny. Johnny is 6’5″ and is up to 275 from 215. He trains in a crusty-ass gym near the Afghan and Pakistan border. Aside from lifting in the gym, he pushes and pulls ATVs up the “shitty Afghan hills”. He’ll toss sandbags and do buddy carries and .50 cal can carries.
Diet: 6 times a day at the 24 hour chow hall. 6 to 8 eggs every morning, oatmeal with peanut butter, bagle with cream cheese, protein shake, two lunches or MREs if out on a mission, and dinner. I eat everything until I vomit, then I eat more.
Behold…
He’s got the beard
He’s got the clothes
He’s got the kick-ass attitude
And he STILL has room to grow
Gold star for Johnny.
All right knuckleheads, you’ve got a whole weekend to make submissions. Go check out the Submissions Page for the criteria. Expect the Hall of Fame page to be finished with some new Hall of Famers inducted next week. Gant and I will also be working on a special video segment, and I’m working on some interviews. You’ll get so much content, you won’t be able to contain your bowels. Oh, and t-shirts are on the way…
Get strong.
