Switching gears, focus and setting goals
March 13, 2012 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
After competing at the NAPF Raw Powerlifting Challenge (see write-up and video here), I have traditionally flipped the switch and began prep for the IFPA Pro International Bodybuilding competition, which is held in Kansas City in September.
However after a good showing at the 2012 Arnold by placing 3rd, I have reassessed my goals and have decided to continue to compete in powerlifting for another solid year, then go back to the pro natural bodybuilding stage in 2013. Then next contest I am planning on is the USAPL Raw Nationals, held at TX in August. This is the qualifier for the Team USA, which competes in the IPF World Raw Championships, held in Sweden this year.
My love and passion for natural bodybuilding is unchanged, and am prepping to put on the NANBF Nutri-Sport Natural Iowa on May 12 this year. But I want to see how far I can go with powerlifting in the next year, with continuing to increase in strength without dieting down for a pre contest prep.
As usual, my training will still have a bodybuilding “flavor” but will continue to focus on improving my strength. Currently I am going to do the Smolov squat program, which is a very intense squat training cycle, and has been shown to increase one’s squats significantly. This is the lift out of the squat, bench press and deadlift I have the most area for improvement. I will continue to send updates on my training log.
My immediate focus is to help my training partner, Mike Beiter and members of Team FPT to prepare for the next meet, which is the NASA State Championships in Des Moines on April 21st.
Goals are critical for motivation and to have check points to access progress.

NAPF Raw Challenge at Arnold Sports Festival results report
March 5, 2012 by Ryan Irwin · 1 Comment
On March 2nd I competed in the NAPF Raw Powerlifting Challenge at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, OH. This is one of the biggest drug-tested raw (unequipped) powerlifting meets annually.
My goal was to total 1200 lbs in the three lifts (squat, bench press, deadlift) and improve my showing from 2011. I am pleased to say that I accomplished both! I competed in the 163lb (74 kilo) weight class.
After last year, I learned to do a better job with managing my weight. The NAPF and USAPL has two hour weigh-ins, which means you weigh-in two hours prior to lifting. This means that you need to be at your competitive weight class and have enough energy to compete. I also needed to improve my squat and bench press, which I only hit my openers on last year.
I am pleased to say all these happened. After I competed in the IFPA Pro International last Sept, I stayed leaner and managed my bodyweight by doing intervals and managing my nutrient timing. For squats, I improved my range of motion through yoga and regular stretching sessions. I also went to a high bar placement to allow for a deeper squat. For bench press I incorporated good assistance work through wide DB presses, weighted dips and barbell rows.
My squats went well, as I got a 13lb PR (Personal Record). The 2nd attempt got “red lighted” so I had to get it on the 3rd attempt, which as the video shows was a maximum effort! Bench went well and I got my 2nd attempt for an easy 303 (which was an 8lb full meet PR). I then jumped up and went for 314 (I’ve got 315 in the gym before). Lastly, deadlift I hit 534 on my 2nd and jumped up to 551 for my 3rd, which while left the ground, wasn’t going up that day. It wasn’t until I had my 3rd deadlift ahead of me that I realized I was going for 3rd/2nd! My deadlift pulled me ahead, which getting the last lift might have vaulted me to second place. I ended up earning a 3rd place finish with a total of 1,201lbs.
I would like to thank my wife, Mandee Irwin for her unfailing support in all I do and for my training partners Cody Nour and Mike Beiter who keep pushing me to get better. Thanks to my sponsors Scivation for the supplements, Hands on Sports Therapy, True Life Chiropratic and Jill Olson for helping me perform my best by helping me stay healthy and injury-free. Also to 22nd Street Barbell, Nutri-Sport and Team FPT for their support and encouragement!
Below is a video of my meet, you can follow my training log here and stay tuned for my next goals!
EVERYDAY

20 years of consistency and training for Ryan Irwin
February 20, 2012 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
Today marks the day 20 years ago that I decided I would be a bodybuilder. I remember distinctly walking into weight room at Saydel High School the Monday after the state wrestling tournament (I watched, as a wrestler I never made it to state myself) with a mission to compete as a bodybuilder.
Day after day, I consistently keep hitting the weight room, eating right, learning everything I could and taking the skinny weak kid who didn’t have to cut weight to make the 103lb class to someone who was confident enough to step on a bodybuilding stage, which I did a little over a year later as a young teen.
Over the years, my goal turned into my passion and I have competed over 20 times. In that time I have made sacrifices, gone through struggles, accomplished goals and have seen great things that the iron has taught me.
While I am proud of my accomplishments, consistency, progress and dedication, I know there are things that are much more important to life than bodybuilding and powerlifting. I also know there are others that have overcome many times more difficult trials and completed much more impressive feats (like the soldier risking his/her life for another, or the single mom who raises her kids cause their loser father walked away).
However I do know the iron has made me a better person today, a better husband and a better father. It also has allowed me to take this passion to help others. Having someone come up and say you changed/saved their life is powerful. Celebrating the victories with others is constantly fulfilling.
It has been an amazing journey and I can say that when I walked behind the bleachers to the high school “weight room” that day 20 years ago, while I knew the goal that I set, I had no idea what other aspects it would bring. Here’s to another 20 years!

Nutri-Sport pre-workout supplement review: BSN Hyper FX
November 21, 2011 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
Pre-Workout supplements are products that are specifically formulated to help you get the most from your workout. They can do a number of things such as increase energy and blood circulation, improve focus plus enhance endurance (reduce fatigue) throughout your workout. Most products contain some sort of combination of creatine, nitric oxide, caffeine, amino acids, BCAA’s and carbs (which assist with recovery and muscle growth).
By consuming a Pre-Workout product 30-45 minutes prior to training, you can expect to see a increase in your intensity and as a whole your workout stepped up to another level.
HYPER Fx is a Pre-Workout from BSN, it’s and extreme concentrated energy and power amplifier. Product highlights include:
- World’s First Effervescent Concentrated Pre-Training Formula
- Efficacious 10.8-Gram Serving Size – Only 1 Scoop Needed
- Geranium-Free Intense Pre-Training Energy and Intensity*
- Inclusion of D-Aspartic Acid and Magnesium Oxide
- 500 IU of Vitamin D per Serving
- PEAK ATP® for a Creatine-Free Formula – Ideal for Creatine Non-Responders*
- CarnoSyn® + Betaine for Power and Endurance Support*
- Fat-Burning Support*
While we don’t put pre-workout supplements in the “top tier” of our stacks, they are a good addition to the basics (multi-vitamin, essential oils, protein and post workout/recovery). If you are looking for something to add to your arsenal, come in to Nutri-Sport for a sample and to give it a shot!
