How did you get into weightlifting?
It started as a way to manage stress. In my 20s, I was juggling multiple jobs, trying to build my business and generally burning the candle at both ends. I needed something that would challenge me physically while giving my brain a break. A mate dragged me to the gym one day, and after that first lifting session, I was hooked. There’s something about moving heavy weights that clears the mind and forces you to be present.
