About sam
I was born In Austin Texas. I never really had much of an interest growing up in fitness or sports. I was more interested in playing video games and table to role playing games. After I graduated high school and got into a couple of years of college a friend invited me to the gym to help him with spotting him during his workout. I was reluctant to join but I decided to go despite me. At one point he asked if I wanted to try bench pressing and told me to warm up with the bar. As he lifted it and moved it over me he said “OK, your weight” and let go. The bar came down and I couldn’t lift it back up. It was one of the handful moments in my life where I was actually scared for my safety. For some reason after that incident I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could do better and overcome that lifting hurdle. My starting point was using two pink 10 lbs dumbbells for bench press. Fast forward 8 years and I have been competing in bodybuilding competitions becoming a nationally qualified competitor. I have coached a number of people to reach their goals whether it is weight loss, muscle gaining, a combination of the both, or just maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
