What happened after Friday the 13th...

Not much. I'm still alive. Still training. Happy to report that business is good; new members, sales, lots of inquiries. All good stuff.

The House of Health2 helped sponsor the Xenia Outback Strongman contest May 14th and it was a great experience for me personally. My family came to watch and everyone had a good time. The gym was well represented with five members participating in the event. Doug Madewell, Shawn Brooks and Josh Reynolds all took first in their respective classes. Keith Roach and first timer Kevin Myers (aka "Maverick") both placed second in their classes as well. Doug, Shawn, Josh and Keith all qualified for the Strongman National meet in the fall. So hats off to all of them for outstanding performances!
Some meet videos.

(I couldn't find any meet footage of Shawn but here is a nice training video from about a month before the meet).

And while I could not locate any meet footage of Kevin, I did find this photo of him as he came into the gym the other day...
