My younger brother, Paul and I, at a local 2020 USAPL event in New York State.
Welcome to my site and blog!
This is Henry George - I live in the Hudson Valley, New York. I created this site to share my Weight Lifting and Powerlifting journey and as a creative platform.
I’m not a professional trainer, nor do I have any type of job in the fitness industry. I can’t tell you what the right diet is, what the best exercise for X, Y or Z is. All I can do is share what I’ve done and am doing and hope that it helps you in whatever your training goals are.
I’m 47 years old at the time of this post (2023) and have been lifting weights since 2012. Well, I really started in 1988, but that’s another story…more on that later. I got back to it, at age 37, and haven’t looked back since. I’m married and have 3 kids; my son is 14 and I have twin girls aged 8.
As it stands now, I’m 6ft tall and weigh 218 LB’s. And my philosophy on lifting weights is focused on barbell compound movements (Squat, Deadlift, Press, Bench Press, and Clean). Focusing on lifting heavy weights and progressing by adding more weight every time I touch the barbell.
I’ve been competing in powerlifting through USA Powerlifting since 2020. And try and do one competition a year. These are local contests, and they provide a finish line each year that allows me to set goals and focus my training on something. Here I will post pictures, videos, links to who and what I follow and an overall digital journal of my weight training experience and now my son’s experience as he’s started his Weight Lifting journey.
I hope to engage with other people that are also passionate about Weight Training, Weightlifting and Powerlifting to create a positive community to share information and learn from one another.
Thanks for visiting – Henry George
