So I can call myself a true gym bro :)

Have you faced any challenges or setbacks in your lifting journey?

Long Covid was a bummer

Mild Scoliosis means I stay away from heavy squats and heavy deadlifts

What training methods or techniques have helped you achieve your progress?

I started with a PT from day 1 and built a home gym a year into it so I could workout from home

Do you follow any particular nutrition plan or supplements to support your lifting?

Working out 3 days a week is all I can manage, I take whey protein after every workout

How do you stay motivated to keep improving and pushing toward your goals?

I have 4 kids so I want to be around a long time

Do you have any advice for fellow fitness enthusiasts who want to improve their deadlift, clean and jerk, hip thrust, or snatch?
