💪🏻🔥THIS IS A BIG ONE🔥💪🏻
People in the social media realm, please join us in welcoming our latest inductee into the 450 Class Club, GUNSHOW JOE 🥳
Now, first off, if you don’t know Joe, we’re sorry to hear that. He’s one of a kind, he’s got ‘dad of the gym’ energy. Not to mention, his daughter is the one that dragged him in in the first place! Secondly, in case you didn’t know, he’s stubborn AF. Take his class stats for example:
On Sept 2, 2024, Joe joined the 100 Class Club.
On Sept 2, 2025, he joined the 250 Class Club.
On Sept 2, 2026, he joins the elite 450 Class Club!
You kiiiiiinda have to be a lil unhinged to hit those numbers at that pace!
In his early 50s, Joe doesn’t buy in to slowing down as you age. Kind of the opposite - he’s likely the strongest right now than he has been in his life. He deadlifts a hair short of 500lbs (he’ll get there this year), he can back squat 365 AND he has recently dialled in things like chest to bar pull-ups and handstand push-ups. What even more impressive? He’s progressing so rapidly all while working full time and raising two boys under 8 as well as being an incredibly involved father to his two adult children! In case that wasn’t enough? He drives into town from Neepawa…. 🤯
Recently he competed in a CrossFit competition in Winnipeg, placing 2nd with his partner Jon. Joe has also been on the Winning DeadSet Open teams two years running, captaining one of them 🥇
This guy is the real deal, gritty and a force but also one that celebrates other’s wins just as much as his own.
Well friggen done Gunshow 💪🏻
