I am a 25 year old environmental engineer.

My job requires me to frequently work outside carrying heavy loads and hiking through a variety of harsh terrain. I work long hours as a field lead in all variations of terrible weather and conditions (McCarteny Rose is not my bff). It is critical that I get stronger every day to meet the demands of this career long-term, without breaking myself.

My hobby/passion outside of work is rock climbing. I recently got back into the sport and am quickly realizing I need to get stronger and leaner if I'm going to climb at the level I want to.

My fiance started training strong first ages ago - and I finally decided to stop being stubborn and train with him.

I'm starting slow with an 8 kg.

Excited to see how this goes!
