Helped set up a Strongman day for the St. Louis County Police Explorers this evening. It's always nice to watch young people step out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves.

If this weekend inspired you to try some Strongman training or just start training in general and you would like some help, feel free to reach out to me. I have been training and competing for well over 30 years in Strongman, powerlifting, bodybuilding, crossfit, mma, and highland games.

I have a few spots open for new clients and can do online or in-person training.
