I started Powerlifting when I was 14. I knew I loved it and wanted to do it as soon as I maxed out on bench press for the first time, I think I got like 180. I’ve grown over the years as a lifter and as an athlete & competitor. I’ve competed in 3 USA Powerlifting competitions and it’s like a drug for me. I’m currently at a 1462 Total. When I compete again I’m shooting for 1600, I’m always a much better competitor w...

I moved to south Florida from upstate New York 6 years ago. All I had was a tiny car and my dog didn’t really have a place to stay and barely had any money but I knew I could make something of myself down here as a personal trainer. I rented rooms from people and moved 6 times in 2 years as I studied to become a trainer. I started as a personal trainer for the YMCA and busted my butt working two jobs almost 80 hours a w...
2020 was a year like no other. With the whole world almost coming to a stop, many industries had to take a break from trading and hold fire until the pandemic settled. The fitness and strength community was no different, with many exhibitions postponed, events cancelled, and competitions re-scheduled. Roll on to 2021, and things are beginning to look brighter, which is the start of some exciting news and events from TuffWraps!

My journey started in 2018 at the age of 30 - you're never too old to start. Years after stopping football to focus on a career and starting a family - I put weight on, became unfit and was also diagnosed with a degenerative kidney condition called iGa Nephropathy.
Before my 2nd child was born (my first daughter) I realized "whoa I'm having a girl. I need to straighten up and show this little girl what a man looks like" So multiple things changed about my life that day. One of those things was I adopted bodybuilding as a hobby and now almost 6 years later its as much apart of my life as my job. All thanks to my now 5 year old (Aria) coming into this world.
I've been lifting heavy for as long as I can remember. Had something happen when I was younger and wanted to fight past that. Working out lead me to being able to hang out with the TuffWraps crew as well as getting to meet everyone I watched on social media.

Weightlifting and powerlifting, two pillars of strength training, have garnered a massive following around the globe. These disciplines, though different, share a common goal: pushing the limits of human strength and resilience.

When your previous best bench press in a meet was 705 lbs the thought of opening with 716 lbs is quite a daunting task, but that's clearly what our man Julius Maddox did at the record breakers meet last night.
I achieved my dreams at an early age... I signed my contract at 17 but had to wait 2 months to be shipped to Ft Benning GA to become an infantryman. My military career was my passion, my life, everything I ever wanted.

Unleashing one's strength and seeing the fruits of one's labor is a thrilling experience. Powerlifting is one such sport that tests the limits of human strength. However, it requires not only an effective powerlifting program but also the right gear to ensure optimal results.
Exercises using ankle straps can be seen in the accompanying photo. The straps help to add resistance to the user's workout, enabling them to increase the intensity of their exercise routine.
In the realm of strength training, the secret weapon of many serious lifters isn't always what you'd expect. It's not only their villain wrist wraps or carefully selected weightlifting belts. It's something a little more... volatile. Yes, we're talking about smelling salts.

What a weekend it was for TuffWraps at the American Fitness Expo in Houston, TX. We had an excellent time at the expo and had the chance to meet many new faces and saw a bunch of previous customers. Nothing like previous customers coming back to the booth for more TUFF gear and hearing about how much they love TUFF. With that said, the weekend could not end without something crazy happening.
An imposing sight. Have you ever seen 700lbs loaded on a bench? Fourteen 45lb plates, two 10lbs, and two 2.5lbs plates, plus the 45lb bar. Waiting, almost daring to be moved. 700lbs.
