MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: RYAN McMULLIN
Hi, my name is Ryan McMullin. I began my fitness journey in March of 2016. I started working
out in desperation for relief from back pain. In 2004, I injured my back. I tried everything from
medication, to steroid shots and physical therapy, water therapy, and even a 10-year battle with alcohol
to numb the pain. I felt like nothing would ever work and I would be in pain forever. A good friend
suggested working out, at first I laughed but decided what could it hurt.
I started working out with a group of about four guys and we would do circuits of one muscle
group a day, five days a week. When this began I didn’t think I was going to make it very far. My muscles
would hurt so bad sometimes I couldn’t even sleep. A month went by and I was religiously attending the
gym hitting all muscle groups and running a mile or more a day. At this point, I was hooked. I started to
look up new workouts and try new stuff. If I missed a day I would try to make it up by working out
harder. In six months’ time I had went from 277 lbs. to 217 pounds by mostly converting fat to muscle.
After about six months, most of the guys I initially worked out with were working out on a different
schedule. I started working out solo with my own routines since I couldn’t rely on them anymore for
plans. I noticed I was gaining quite a bit more strength. It was then that I thought I should do something
with this so I began searching for sports I could compete in. I found strongman. I remember watching it
on T.V, as a kid, but never thought I could do something like that. To my surprise it is a great amateur
sport. Everyone is welcoming and picking up heavy stuff just seemed natural and fun to me. My first
competition was not in a sanctioned league. It was just for fun in a town in Oklahoma, but first place did
pay $350 to the winner. I did well, but could not compare to some of the guys there that day.
Sadly, I am still chasing a 1st place win the best I have achieved is 3rd. The sport does have an
overwhelming amount of guys in my weight class who have been at it longer than I have, and some
participants are 10 years younger. That can make competitions difficult, but does not discourage me
from working hard at my own abilities and personal records.
I have since become a certified personal trainer. I want to help others that are interested in
losing weight, gaining strength, or possibly getting into power lifting or strongman. I am open to training
the right motivated individuals who want to make a
change. I normally workout around 3 pm Monday thru
Friday, and usually 10-11 on Sundays , if anyone wants
to come and talk to me about strength sports or join
me in a workout.
