2004 was a very significant year for me, as it was the year I discovered the people/training strategies that have shaped my own system.
This was the year I found CrossFit, which at that time was relatively unknown, having only 4 gyms total in the world. The next year I flew to Santa Cruz, CA to learn directly from Coach Greg Glassman, at the original CrossFit gym.
I have been with CrossFit ever since, and remain true to the original concepts of that system, which included heavy lifts, like deadlifts, squats, and bench press.
