Squat Hygeine - Chiropractor

"It felt great," he said. "My squat was 637 (pounds), I benched 385 (pounds), and my deadlift was 585 (pounds)."

Following his achievement to nourish his body, McClaren said he turned his attention to his education. A shoulder injury early on led McClaren to a chiropractor, and he was so impressed with his abilities, McClaren decided then and there that becoming a chiropractor was his next goal. McClaren finished his undergraduate work at UNL and graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas in 2001. Along the way McClaren became fascinated with the role neurology plays in the rehabilitation process. And so he joined the ranks of less than one percent of physicians by combining his talents and education to provide care for people who, for instance, have suffered head trauma, and ultimately require physical rehabilitation. In this way, McClaren found a way to nourish his mind.

McClaren said he still works out four to six days a week, one or two hours a day, and enjoys a cardio workout five days a week. He said business is booming, and is grateful for the day he and a friend took a drive down Giles Road.

For Burdette, working out used to be just something he did to stay in shape —until one day someone suggested he enter a local competition.

“I went, and I got my butt kicked,” he said. “But it was fun, so I stuck with it.”

That was five years ago. After getting some tips and coaching from powerlifting legend Jesse Kellum, Burdette said “it all started to click,” and his bench shot up 80 pounds in a year.
