Congratulations to Michael Sidwell the September Member of the Month!
With a passionate intensity that few possess, Mike has been striving for some pretty lofty strongman goals this past year, namely to be one of the best in the country. His unparalleled commitment and single-minded focus allowed him to become just that. A few weeks ago, Mike went up against the best of the best and finished in the top 10 at the Strongman National Championships.
Living up to his nickname – The Relentless Juggernaut – Mike is one of the strongest guys in the whole gym despite walking around at just under 200lbs. He recently crushed a 560lb squat PR and currently holds many of the gym lifting records.
As a person who lives and breaths strongman, Mike exemplifies what is means to chase a dream and refuse to let any obstacles stand in the way. Mike says strongman has contributed to every aspect of his life and he is “grateful to call JD’s Gym home and be included in an environment that generates growth, positivity, and learning.”
To the young lifters who are chasing his number one spot, Mike says to “find what you love and let it kill you.”
