He’s done what every person that’s ever lived has wanted to do.
He’s transformed.
Cory’s lost over 40 pounds since joining Beyond Strength in November 2021. More than that, he’s improved his performance during all of our testing weeks, deadlifting over 400lbs, shaving significant time off of his rows, jumping farther, as well as improving on the other battery of tests.

The rub is that we must be smart about how we approach them. But the good news is with a few tactics and skills, you can nail difficult training weeks and get the full benefit of all that sweat and strain. And all that cursing won’t be for nothin’.
