I have always viewed my body as a car. If you take care of it, it will last you a life time and If you don’t well, unfortunately it wont last and you’ll have to spend a lot of money and go through pain to put in new parts and pieces. I had an amazing weightlifting coach in high school that sought me out after soccer season to ask if i would like to join our region’s weightlifting competition. At 15 years old, 5’ tall, and 115lbs you can imagine how intimidated i was to say yes.

I love the main focus of powerlifting, so I always base my workouts off of bench, squats, and dead lifts. And then whichever I am training I pick eight exercises that would help me progress in that area to be able to lift heavier. I enjoy a lot of super sets with this.

Firstly, (priority of course) I would probably buy whatever I’m lacking in my own personal home gym, I have acquired a lot over the years, but I’m still lacking a few things that I’d love to have. Secondly I am building a house currently and would love to be able to put that money towards that. I am a union electrician and have done residential, commercial, and industrial work and am the general contractor on my house. It has been a challenge trying to balance this work load and stay in shape.
