How I Trained For... (eBook)

339 pages

We don’t call our strength athletes the best in the world for no reason. With team members like Brian Schwab, Mark Dugdale, and Jeremy Frey, here at elitefts™ we don’t want to tell you about the success of our sponsored athletes — we want you to witness their accomplishments yourself.

Behind every accomplishment is a story of sacrifices, trials, and failures. For each PR total or first call out, there are thousands of hours of tireless dedication.

Sometimes this commitment creates success greater than anyone imagines. In this eBook, you will read the stories of ten of team elitefts’ most prolific triumphs. From the first day of the training cycle to the podium finish, these elitefts™ athletes share every detail from their unique journeys.
