 "I have been Olympic-style weightlifting and competing since 1996. I have always trained in a way that would make me stronger as well as making me a better athlete. At 5'9" and 360 lbs, I can do a standing back flip, dunk a basketball, and run under 5 seconds in the 40 yd dash. I attribute my athletic ability to training the right way. Stretching and using the right techniques are the most important things to me." |

"Having come near death from cancer, I realized that I must become involved in some type of weight training if I was to regain my health. Weight training was new to me. Shane Hamman suggested Olympic Weightlifting as the perfect solution to my situation.
