Husband, Father of 1, Grandfather of 2. I have a PhD in Nutrition with a Physiology minor. I have worked with the pig and poultry industries which are all about muscle deposition. I learned to lift in high school from my football coaches. Just started lifting again in July 2023 after many years to fight off sarcopenea. Found SS by way of Jon Sullivan and the Barbell Logic folks. Rip reminded me so much of my coaches, I had to stick around and make sure I wasn’t being a pussy!
