Thank you Dan, for continuing to inspire and push all of us to be better, faster, stronger, and more fun in general. We are lucky to have you.
HAHAHAHAH.. that looks really funny.
I guess Dan was the last one logged in on my computer.
He didn’t post that… I did.
I’m pretty sure Dan would have said the same thing.
Dan – Congrats again! It was awesome to watch you kill it this weekend.
Dan, Thanks for making my weekend! I cannot tell you how much fun it was to cheer you on and watch you kick ass. Its easy to look at you and what you have accomplished and only focus on the physical aspect. However, I am far more impressed by the mental side of what you did. You trained intelligently, avoiding injury while improving strength and stamina which sounds easy but really isn’t. There are a small percentage of people physically capable to do what you did and an even smaller percentage with the mental capacity.
Congrats Dan, incredible job this weekend,have to say also it was a blast getting to watch you compete at Reebok.
And wanted to say Thanks to Craig and Rocky for putting on the Memorial Day Murph yesterday, it was a great time and great food served afterwards.
Dan I am proud to call you my coach. Amazing work.
Dan – Congrats!!!! It was a blast being at the Regionals to cheer you on. I have a new found level respect for you as an athlete and a person. You conducted yourself with not only great strength and determination, but with tremendous focus and sportsmanship. I was so proud to wear the ‘Danimal’ shirt and cheer you on! Thanks for being an inspiration and kicking ass!!!
Dan, it was so much fun watching the updates roll in this weekend. Really awesome, inspiring job.
Dan’s performance on the snatch ladder was noted on the games site. Anyone who missed it should watch.

Dan was so impressive this weekend. I am so happy and proud of his journey. He is a super hero!
Dan – What at amazing accomplishment! It was a blast hitting refresh on the leaderboard and seeing you continue to climb the charts!!
You definitely represented the nickname “DANIMAL”
Awesome job Dan! For all your hard work and focus you still looked like you were having a blast, which is what regionals are all about!
So proud of you Dan! Incredibly impressive performance.
I’m with Bennett. Even though I wasn’t in Canton to watch the awesome-ness unfold… the refresh button was in full effect from minute 1 and it was great! You are truly an inspiration as an athlete and a coach. You make everyone so proud! Thanks for not only being awesome but for sharing your awesome with us.
Dan awesome work!!! It was so exciting to check the leaderboard and see you moving up. Your focus and dedication in your training really showed. Congratulations!
