I've been a 2x National Champion in Weightlifting & Bobsled, competed at the 2016 CrossFit Games (Team — 6th), and spent nearly two decades coaching thousands online and in person. My philosophy: train like an athlete. Sprinting, jumping, lifting heavy, building real engine — scaled to where you are now. If you're chasing APEX, that's the formula.
The competition is coming. The question is whether you'll be ready for it. Train with me, and you will be.
