A lifetime PR - 185 lbs x 4!

Christina started the year with a football injury which prevented her from squatting. With careful physical therapy and slowly building tolerance to a variety of movements, she's back and stronger than ever.

Incredibly proud of her and excited to see her strength gains!

I want to take a moment to recognize Callie as she heads off to college! She was just 14 when she joined Kratos and has been an absolute force—first dominating in the boxing ring, then with strength training. Not many people have deadlifted 300 lbs as a teenager!

Her next big adventure is studying Exercise Physiology.

We will miss her. But we are also very excited for her and can't wait to see all the incredible things she’s bound to achieve.

Go crush it, Callie!

You have no choice but to set a PR when you have the steely gaze of Kashpirovsky watching over your lifts.

Big thank you to Monica and Emily for reactivating my dormant Soviet programming.

Let the mass hypnosis commence...
