THIS A STORY OF A JOURNEY TO BE A STRONG MAN. THE CHALLENGES AND ADVENTURES OF TRAINING IN ALASKA. THE BEGINING OF “BEAST ALASKA.”

It all started in May 2017 when we moved to Alaska (The Final Frontier). We wanted to be active in Alaska, but we were a tad out of shape. We tried multiple times to start a workout regime. But “LIFE” seemed to be the greatest roadblock. I then started to have health issues, which we will touch on in a blog post later. Gus on the other hand had finally found his groove and began to power lift at the local gym. As time went on I recovered from some of my health issues. I started lifting weights just to feel better. Then it happened! Gus came to me and he had hit a wall with his training. So we started fine-tuning his workouts so he could make gains in his powerlifting again. Well, one thing led to another and he decided to start training to be a “Strong Man” (March 2021 or so) and asked if I would help. Let’s be honest I was too weak to spot or be of any kind of support for him. I barely started lifting just months earlier. So, I wanted to be fit and with his drive to be the “World’s Strongest Man,” we decided to join forces and fight the battle together. As we have trained and played in Alaska we have experienced trials and challenges. That is how “Beast Alaska” was formed. We want you to join us on our journey of the lifestyle of living and training in the “Last Frontier.” This is the story of the adventures and challenges of our journey to “World’s Strongest Man.” I hope you enjoy the ride with us!
