We are the Mercers – a powerlifting couple who turned our lives and health around. Join us to get fit and lift heavy things!

I believe that health, wellness, weight-loss, and fitness all start with nutrition. On that front I believe in a diet of whole foods, with special emphasis on lean meats and vegetables. I believe the basis of exercise should always be resistance training, as being stronger makes everything easier. Focusing on resistance training will help you age better, lose weight, and be a better athlete no matter what your sport is. Complementing the resistance training with “smart cardio” is the best approach for health, wellness, fitness, and weight-loss. Too much cardio can be detrimental to your health and won’t help you meet your goals, so I suggest a balanced approach to cardio based on needs. Lastly, I believe moving well must be a focus, to assure that we become (or remain) injury free. My approach is to correct imbalances and deficiencies, and assure the athlete is moving well before they progress to more advanced movements. I want to help you eat well, move well, get healthy, and get strong!

Man, this was a special moment...

The X's and O's of coaching are fun, but nothing compares to the human side of it. Watching someone struggle through the quiet, frustrating days when nobody is looking, and then getting to watch them absolutely nail it on the big stage? Being along for that journey... there’s nothing else like it.

To see Heidi hit a national record, take the national title, and punch her ticket to Worlds—knowing every single sacrifice she made to get there, and just how long she had dreamt of this day—was just f*cking awesome. It's such an honor to be a tiny part of this accomplishment, and to have a front-row seat for the journey to get here.

Moments like that are why I do it. The lifelong friendships, the special memories of the achievements well earned! This is why I coach!

A few days delayed, but here are my equipped attempts from nationals. We opened light to get one on the board, since I was all alone in my class. 230kg flew, so we made a healthy jump up to 245kg which was the most i had done in the gym (and it was smooth). Ended up missing it twice. The first try wasn't close, but on my third, I pressed it out, but got called for up and down movement of the bar. Jury was 2 to 1 to overturn, but it must be unanimous.

245 was definitely a lot harder here, than at home. I'm thinking that may have been because my bodyweight was down a few kgs. Still so much to learn about equipped benching! I have a tighter shirt to learn when I get back home, and hopefully we can do better in Norway!

Not exactly the outcome I was hoping for, but the job is done. I got my feet wet in equipped benching, and, most importantly, got qualified to go to in Norway! I'm SO incredibly psyched to have a chance to visit, and compete, in the homeland!
Big thanks to all the folx who helped me along the way! I will say, the equipped community are a bunch of sicko's, but they are also super willing to help us newbs!
On to Norway!!!

It was a good day for !

Almost the entire team was at the today, and while we unfortunately didn't get a team pic, we did dominate the dojo!

Team members Kevin and Katie both competed and went with across the board. Heidi took her ref exam, and passed. Anamaria reffed all damn day. Tony spotted/loaded, all damn day. Corey handled lifters in the first session, and spotted/loaded the second session. Teresa and Ryan both worked the second session. Victoria (and Moe) both worked the first session. Daisy, not a current team member, but recently a team member, spotted/loaded a session. Paula, not a current team member, but still on the team for life, worked the score table all day.

I'll be honest, the grind of running meets really beats Jackie and I down. I'm not sure how much, if at all, we'll do it anymore... This weekend chewed us up and spit us out, but the brightest spot was how TEAM RBBF showed the EF up! I am proud and honored to not just be the coach of so many of these folx, but I'm proud and honored to know you and call you friend. Many thanks friends!! Much love to all of you! Thanks for showing up, and kicking ass!!

It was a good day for
