Lena and Nhu in for their intro session as a couple. Their daughter Lilly had reached out from Virginia, inspired by video, to see if we could similarly help her folks. We’re excited to work with them!

HUGE congrats to our own Kevin Phillipson for getting back out on the platform this weekend! Kevin went 8 for 9 and ended up with a:
545 squat
397 bench
And this final, crowd-pleasing 661 deadlift with a little Pyrros Dimas action at the top.
Congrats Kevin. You represented Starting Strength Orlando proudly.

Absolute smoke show with crushing a 3 wheel PR like it was another warmup. Technically it’s 320 with the specialty bar. Left the original audio for the back and forth at the end 😂
Come get strong with us!
