Welcome to Lifting Standard
After growing up as an athlete my whole life and working in the Fitness industry as a competitor, a trainer, and team leader (in more ways than one) for over a decade; I have noticed a need for a no-bullshit approach to educate in the Fitness world.

I'm here for you; as a teacher, a coach, or maybe just another gym bro. I supply weekly blogs, recourses for workouts and nutrition, and even workout programs I've designed.
Don't hesitate to say hi and ask me for anything you need.

5 Must-Do's for Fat Loss

About me
Growing up with a wrestling and football coach for a father, it was hard not to get into sports, myself. Dipping my toe into everything school and summer programs had to offer, including baseball, soccer, football, and track, I fell most in love with wrestling (no surprise of course) and swim team. This was up until high school, when both sports were held during the same season, and I chose to focus on a wrestling career instead.
Believe it or not, I actually didn't enjoy strength training through high school sports. I would much rather have been practicing the sport I was passionate about (or sleeping in). That is until I started reaping the benefits, you know as well as I do: increase in strength and energy which lead to more confidence, more athleticism, and of course, more dates.
Having a creative mind, I had thought I wanted to go to college for graphic design, but my passion for lifting overshadowed my major, especially when I found myself skipping classes just to get a lift in. So, I changed my major to Fitness and Sports Management.
Then in 2015 I earned my first certification through ISSA for Personal Training and continued to study Strength and Conditioning, NASM CEC's, and others such as Functional Programming and Nutrition.
After being a full-time trainer for several gyms across 7 years, I took a leap into management. I have now been hiring and developing a team of trainers for 3 years and continue to train clients myself. I love it.
Believe me when I say, after meeting with thousands of people and helping hundreds of clients across 10 years, one thing has held true, even for my own goals and programming: Sport Science is forever changing, and therefore, your programming can forever be improved.
This is why I am here; to educate, further explain, debunk, and occasional rant about, well, whatever I deem worthy for your benefit.
