American record holder in the half marathon and the fastest American to ever run the marathon (2:04:58). After retiring from a 11 year pro running career I got into lifting to see how big and strong a world class marathoner could get I went from a body weight of 127 lbs at 5’10” to 200 lbs increasing my strength from personal bests of 150lbs for deadlift, squat and bench to a 530 lb deadlift, 475 lb squat and a 335 lb bench over a six year period. I’m passionate about sharing both my failures and successes so that I can make those who hear about them better.
