Inspirational Training Story:

Timy,

I live in Northern Alabama. I have just gotten serious about training in the past year. I had been climbing for about 10 years but had gotten out of shape (5’9” about 206lbs w/35%bf). I have gotten down to 130lbs w/5% bf and have maintained that for over a year.
