Winning my first Nationals and finally breaking 600kg.

What is one piece of advice you have for up and coming athletes getting into strength training or strength sport?

SBD gear is very high quality and they have everything we need to perform at our best.

I have been using SBD for most of my gear even before becoming a Sponsored Athlete. Being able to work with the brand to promote their products to other athletes and having their support is a blessing.
