The Journey

The Journey is where FERRAXIS WORKS begins: with the training, failures, adjustments, competition prep, and documented work behind one person’s entry into strongman.

This is not a highlight reel. It is the build.

From Work to Training

FERRAXIS WORKS is rooted in a blue-collar work ethic. Before this became a brand, it came from years spent in blue-collar jobs, where strength was part of the work but not something I had formally trained. I knew how to lean into strength physically, but I had not yet built a disciplined training system around it.

When I started this journey in September 2025, I knew I needed to move away from the cardio-only weight loss approach I had used during my time at Oregon and USC. That work mattered, but this time I wanted something different. I wanted strength to become part of the process.

Why Strongman

In my quest to becoming healthier, I needed a goal to go after. Strongman became the right fit because it connected directly to the kind of consistency, labor, and physical demand that already shaped how I understood work. It was not just about lifting weights. It was about carrying, pulling, pressing, loading, recovering, returning, and doing the work again.

The consistency I have brought to training fits the blue-collar foundation behind FERRAXIS WORKS. I do not care to do anything half-ass. If I am going to train strength seriously, then I might as well aim high. If I am going to be strong, I might as well shoot to become the strongest person in the world.

The Current Build

Right now, FERRAXIS WORKS is documenting my entry into strongman training: the sessions, the adjustments, the competition prep, the mistakes, the recovery, and the progress that comes from repeated effort over time.

The current build includes strength training, event preparation, conditioning, video documentation, training logs, and the process of learning how to become more capable under pressure.

Milestones

This page will grow as the work grows. For now, the milestones are intentionally simple: beginning the strength-focused phase of training, building consistency, preparing for a first strongman competition, and documenting the process behind the rise.

• September 2025 — Began shifting from cardio-focused weight loss toward strength-centered training.
• 2026 — FERRAXIS WORKS begins taking shape as a strongman-centered training, apparel, and storytelling platform.
• Upcoming — First strongman competition preparation, results, training reflections, and video documentation.
• Future — Competition archive, training logs, apparel development, videos, dispatches, and community systems.

What Gets Documented

FERRAXIS WORKS is built around the work itself. The Journey will document the pieces that usually sit behind the finished image: the training logs, missed lifts, progress markers, competition prep, equipment choices, video work, recovery, lessons, and results.

• Training logs
• Competition prep
• Videos
• Results
• Reflections
• Lessons from the build
• Before-and-after visual documentation
• Future competition archive

Before and After

Older comparison images are part of the story, but they are not here as transformation bait. They are here as documentation. FERRAXIS WORKS is not built around pretending change is sudden, easy, or clean. The comparison matters because it shows time, pressure, repetition, and return.
