My name is Jeff Pearson and I am 32 years old. I compete in strongman and powerlifting. I have done Highland games as well, but mostly just compete in the first two. I am currently training for North American Strongman Nationals in Texas. On September 28th 2013 I did a powerlifting meet raw drug tested totaling 1945 lbs. My squat was 804, benched 430, and deadlifted 711. I weighed in at 307.8 lbs. I have been competing for a year and a half now and have always been drug free. My early powerlifting total a year ago was 1644 at 275 lbs weight class. 6 months ago I totaled 1809 at 308.
The start for me in strength athletics came in 2011. I had been training for MMA and was walking around at around 215 at about 12% body fat. While skateboarding I ended up compound dislocating me thumb. This set back my training and not long after this I broke my foot at work, so I was no longer able to train. I just sat around playing video games and got fat. When I was healed up I decided that I was fat already, might as well just go get as strong as I can.
My goals are to qualify for the Arnold Fitness Expo amateur strongman contest at nationals. Next year I plan on getting my squat up to 900, bench 500, and deadlift 800. My bench is always my weak point for powerlifting and I aim to fix this next year. So I aim to total 2200 lbs next year. .
I do not eat for having a nice physique, I eat and train to be the strongest in the world. My current macro break down is 41% carbs, 29% fat, and 30% protein. I try to eat around 8-10,000 calories a day. For supplements I use Animal Pak, Animal Omega, Animal Flex, Animal pm, Optimum Nutrition casein protein, Optimum Nutrition hydro whey, Universal torrent, Beast aminolytes, and Universal shock therapy.
I train 6 days a week taking Sundays off. My training times change as I am doing my last term of college finishing my BA in philosophy. I train at least 4 hours a day but have been known to train 6 more often than not. My training split is Monday upper body, Tuesday lower body, Wednesday strongman event day, Thursday lower, Friday upper, Saturday event day, Sunday rest.
