“I’m living my fantasies.
Thank you, Kurt, for feeding my dreams and making them reality.”
She-ra’s Story
Who woulda thunk that this former 65 pound weakling, who in seventh grade didn’t have the strength to serve a volleyball over the net, would take up powerlifting at age 54. After 27 years of weight training, it was time to take my training to a higher level. I began working with Kurt last fall with the goal of competing in powerlifting. I have now competed twice and placed second both times in the Masters 50-59 level. This is the first time in my life I have ever competed as an athlete. It’s a heady feeling of success and accomplishment, working toward a specific goal and then attaining that goal.
Kurt competed in powerlifting for ten years and continues to educate himself about all aspects of strength training and conditioning. I am the lucky beneficiary of all his varied experience. He has carefully planned my program, both long-term and short-term, and analyzed my strengths and weaknesses to eliminate any imbalances. Although my strength training is geared for a powerlifter, and I’ve learned how to properly execute the three competition lifts, he has not neglected other aspects of the well-rounded program. He devised an individualized stretching routine and works with me on visualization and competition strategy. Kurt pays attention to the most minute details, and nothing gets past him!
No, I’m not naturally strong, but I’ve transformed myself into someone who is strong and powerful, both physically and mentally. And if I can do it, anybody can if you have the will, the desire and the perseverance--and you love what you’re doing!
I’m living my fantasies. Thank you, Kurt, for feeding my dreams and making them reality.
