Still working on that pull-up and still working on getting abs.

When I started I couldn’t even do the bar!

My PR on squat is 135 lbs and my PR on deadlift is 170 lbs!

What compliments have you received since joining Strength Camp?

A random lady complimented that I have nice legs, people asking for my diet plan and exercise regimen, and “you’re looking lean!”

What is the biggest obstacle you’ve faced in your journey?

Getting enough protein in my diet.

What is your favorite thing about Strength Camp? What makes it unique from other gyms?

The coaching for sure.

It’s nice to offload the mental work to people who have been doing fitness for much longer than me.

- I also like having Pat and Jeremy push me to lift more; they are two coaches who are most invested in my success and improvement.

If I was on my own, I’d be too worried about injury to challenge myself.

The parking tickets.

Strength Camp has been invaluable for helping me understand proper technique, preventing injury, and becoming stronger.
