Introduction

I would take time out and welcome everyone to The Dog Pound. My name is Donald “Dog” Deiwert. I am your average "hobby lifter"

                                                                               Old beat up Fat Bastard

 I'm 40 years old. Father of two boys 12,14 whom I  will rant about with  regularity . I'm married to a wonderful wife whom is H.B.I.C  whom keeps my old ass in line. 

I have been lifting on and off for twenty years played around with bodybuilding back as a teen and early 20's for a total of 6 years .. Until I pretty much got burned out on the whole thing and took my first break from serious lifting.

 Also I played around with strongman for a short stent in my late 20's.

 2001

Soon after due to a shoulder injuries and family demands I pretty much stopped doing any serious lifting. During this period I became a broke down, weak  pathetic creature. Until I finally said Fuck it and got my shoulder  surgical repaired and got  back on the wagon .

 I have been back into lifting for little over three  years and a half years with my whole focus on power lifting . .I currently compete drug free ( not that it matters)and unequipped in the USAPL and NASA.

 My current goals at present:
1 At this point just to get strong as shit again and hit a 1800 total without gear.
2. Maybe get a little Jacked
3. Not kill myself in the process 

 I am currently getting ready to compete again this coming October at the NASA Ohio Regional’s
 Where I hope to finally break into the top ten in the Masters unequipped rankings.


I have to warn anyone new that your not going to find anything ground breaking or magical in my blog regarding training. Other then a no Bull shit approach and hard work.Every once in awhile ( alright, quite often) I'll rant to vent over things that kinda bugs the hell out of me.Be it in regards to lifting or other life issues .


WARNING: I will be the first one to admit that I can be a ASSHOLE. If you can stand it maybe you as a reader , might gain something of value from this Blog. I plan on presenting my own views and opinions regarding training. Which Ive picked up over the years without allot of BULLSHIT. Which seems to be the standard anymore
NOTE: I'm not a writer nor do I claim to be......Nor am  I a  FUCKING GURU.
