About Strengthyn
Why Strengthyn?
I always wanted to start a site where i can share my knowledge and experience with weight loss and gaining strength.
For some reason, I preferred pouring all that good stuff into a book that hasn’t come out yet. But it will, I promise.
One evening I was sitting with my friends from our Bible study group… and they kept bugging me to share tips on how to eat healthy and lose weight. In the back of my mind I kept thinking”oh yeah I’ll share my book with them once it’s out” But in all honesty, it’s taking too long.
And they wanted something quick. Especially the wife of one my friends, who wanted to help him lose some weight.
A few days later, I decided to sit down and write on one of the domains I had bought months before. Only to realize that the domain name had a horrible typo in it and wasn’t even pronounceable. Yeah, I was THAT dumb. I typed a short word wrong, AND bought the domain associated with it. Ugh.
So I was like “back to square one”. Let’s find a domain related to strength, this time WITHOUT a typo.
10 minutes later, Strengthyn was born.
Then I started writing down the most concise list of tips i could come up with. I was so excited about doing this work, I got carried away and wrote just over 2,000 words.
That post needs a TLDR by the way. I’ll get that done soon, I promise.
Strengthyn is the written expression of everything I’ve learned while doing the following:
Ruined my back with martial arts training and probably too many crunches, plus a neck surgery gone wrong.
Got fat
Got skinny
Gained some muscle. Got fat again. (but not as bad as the first time)
Took a nutrition course and got certified. Yay Precision Nutrition!
Applied what I learned and lost weight again while getting stronger and leaner than ever before.
There’s a lot more to this weird story, and I’ll share with you everything that I’ve learned so you can avoid my mistakes and lose weight and stay strong for as long as possible.
Why?
Because it’s awesome to be able to pick up your kids or grandkids without ruining your back. Because 50 lbs. of groceries shouldn’t make a man grunt and get red in the face. And because getting off the toilet at the age of 73 should be effortless.
