Hope you’re enjoying your weekend.
I had an awesome time in Kansas City this weekend at The Fitness Summit.
All the presenters were amazing. It was entertaining and an all-around great learning experience. Outside of the presentations, it was great catching up with friends, meeting new ones and eating some good Kansas City BBQ.
Let’s get you up to speed with all the great fitness info you may have missed this week.
Client Highlight
Scott is a straight up beast.
Here he is putting up 400 like a paperweight.
While Scott is very humble and considers himself to be a Novice lifter (as he says on Instagram, @nordicberserker), he is going to be closing in on an Elite total very soon.
I can’t wait to see him hit some huge PR’s next week when he puts it all together at his mock meet.
