More About Our Winner

What are your athletic interests/sports played?

I currently wrestle on a collegiate club team as well as play football in a minor league in the summers. I enjoy many athletics whether it is beach volleyball, pick-up football, lifting, or wakeboarding.

What PROLAB products do you use?

Pure Whey, BCAA Plus, and Creatine Monohydrate.

How did taking PROLAB products contribute to your success?

My favorite PROLAB® product is Pure Whey. It helps me recover after workouts, maintain muscle mass while cutting weight during wrestling season, and build mass for football. I also use BCAA Plus for its many strength, recovery, and health benefits as well as Creatine Monohydrate during football season to help build mass and increase power.*†

What is your motivation to get/stay in shape?

There are so many good reasons to workout and stay in shape it is difficult to choose just one. For me it is most important so that I can compete in the sports I love. But being healthy and fit also provides me with confidence in every aspect of life. As an aspiring doctor, I also appreciate the long term health benefits provided by exercise.

What is your favorite muscle group to work and why?

My favorite muscle group to train is legs. There is nothing like loading up the squat bar or filling up the leg press machine and hearing the rattling of the 45s as you power through the lift. But not only this, training legs is critical for athleticism and ensures that I‘m not all show, no go. Although I must put in one quick word for my favorite lift as well: the clean and press. This exercise works literally every muscle in your body and is a great athletic and power based move.
