My brother and I are still tweaking and adjusting the website to make it look better. One of the recent features improved was the layout of the video gallery. We also added a few more videos to the site today so I hope everyone enjoys watching. I’ll keep posting them as I’m able to take them.

This morning was a great workout; hamstrings, biceps and lower back. My partner (Tom) and I finished off with some heavy deadlifts so that made for an intense ending. Fortunately, I was able to hit 500lbs for my final set of 5 reps. I can’t say that I’ve ever lifted that much weight for that many reps so today was a milestone for me meaning, I’m slowly making improvements. I was attempting to get 6 reps but I wasn’t able to muster up any more strength to pick it up after number 5. My last set for this exercise should be 6 reps so I’ll have to get that one in next time.

Tomorrow we’re hitting shoulders, triceps and abs. Progress is going well overall and considering the circumstances of being in Baghdad, I can’t complain.

Best,

Now that my website is complete and it’s in an O&M mode I can finally start blogging. There are several topics to blog about such as diet & nutrition, training, supplements, the Marine Corps, bodybuilding, etc… Lately, many people have been asking me to talk about everything I’ve done, everything I am doing and everything I plan on doing down the road. Is there anything specific you all would like to hear about? This will help me establish a good starting point. Since I do this in my free time, I occasionally get writer’s block so I may need people to nudge me every now and then to get my fingers moving on the keyboard. When I start typing I fall into the groove and it’s effortless. However, with everything going on right now it’s very easy to become sidetracked with other issues so I want to make sure I’m dedicating some time to communicate with everyone.

I’d like to reiterate the appreciation I have for everyone who’s been following and supporting me over the years. Things seem to finally be looking up!

Best,
Aaron

After several years of wanting to develop a website, I finally have one complete; largely thanks to my brother Patrick. Now that the site is complete I can begin communicating with family, friends, fans and anyone else who is interested. As my friends and family can attest, it’s been difficult to keep in touch with me over the years so this will be an easy way for everyone to remain in contact no matter where I am or what I’m doing. I’ll continue to update the site with photos, videos, comments and news to keep everyone current with my progress. So far, I’m still on par to leave Baghdad this summer to pursue these goals in the United States.

Thanks again to everyone for the continued support! It means a great deal to me and I look forward to taking this quest to the next level!

Stay tuned…

I received an email from the Associate Editor of FLEX Magazine. It looks like they want to use an article and photos of me in an upcoming issue of FLEX. This will be a rather small section but nevertheless, it’s a step in the right direction. I’ll keep everyone posted as I get more details.

Thanks for following everyone!

The website is nearly complete so I should begin blogging shortly! I’m looking forward to hearing everyone’s comments, feedback and questions.
