Meet Bronson: a 30-year-old husband and father of 4 awesome kids.
Today, Bronson hit the 1,000 Club, becoming my first client under 200lbs to do so!
Bronson was already fit and active before he started strength training. He plays in a basketball league year-round and is the type of guy who can easily knock out 40 pushups, 10 pullups, and run a mile in under 7 minutes. He's also an avid bow hunter, hiking some of the steepest mountains during hunting season, often carrying over 100lbs on his back to pack out an elk.
But he knew strength was missing. As I keep saying, being just fit and active leaves a lot on the table. Why not be fit, active, and STRONG?
Before starting strength training about a year ago, Bronson weighed 175lbs. He increased his weight to 190lbs, adding mostly muscle to his frame.
Here are his lift numbers from when he started to where he is now:
Squat: 125lbs to 350lbs
Bench Press: 135lbs to 250lbs
Deadlift: 175lbs to 400lbs
Bronson says that despite adding 15lbs of muscle, he's faster and can jump higher, making him a better basketball player. He also feels less fatigued after a long day of elk hunting.
He can't imagine ever going back to where he was. Increasing his base strength was a huge game changer for him.
