Bubba Jenkins Wrestling Clinic DVD

On August 6th, Spirit Lake High School coach Rick Vanderwoude brought national champion, Bubba Jenkins, to the Spirit Lake High School wrestling room. It was a great teaching time.

I was able to video tape his instruction and it is compiled to a DVD. I am requesting $5 to cover donation costs. Email me if you are interested.

Checking out Hope Church in Spencer

Checked out Hope Church in Spencer for their casual service around tables. Enjoyed the worship music. They had an interesting prayer time where people put their prayer requests on cards, then the pastor prayed through them. A little different, but good.






Noticed they also have lunch together as a congregation after every worship service. A lot of work but a good time of fellowship.

Daniel almost injures opponent

Daniel threw his opponent, Reilly, in a headlock. The entire gym could hear Reilly's head hitting the floor through the mat.

Daniel felt awful since Reilly is a good friend.

Everyone suspected the worst and the ambulance was called. Thankfully, after examination in the hospital, Reilly will be fine. Our prayer for him was answered!

Thanks for being a great friend, tough opponent and good sport.

We love you Reilly!

Max Growth III Program

With the new year, I am beginning a new workout plan. This program is a modified program based on Max Growth II by Isatori. Instead of working arms every day, the workouts finish with arms on one day and abs/back on the alternate day. I hope you find it helpful.
