01 / The Story

Athlete bio

Currently a Kinesiology Instructor at the University of North Dakota.

Spent 8 years as a strength and conditioning coach at the University of North Dakota before making the career change into academics.

Also makes strength and conditioning / sports performance content on Instagram and YouTube.

02 / In Training

How they train

Built on a pro football foundation – power, speed, and repeatable strength under load.

Programming rooted in kinesiology: progressive overload, recovery, and clean technique over ego lifts.

03 / The Chalk

Why Clean Chalk

I needed a type of chalk that didn't need to be re-applied after every other set.

Clean Chalk can be applied at the beginning of the session and lasts until the end of the session.

Nothing else dries out my hands and improves my grip on the barbell like Clean Chalk does.

/ Tip for Achieving New Heights
