We pay homage to some of the toughest MFs in the lifting game. Here’s to our Combat Veterans!
You can have results or excuses. Not BOTH. Omar Crispy Avila made his choice after being hit with a 200lb IED and he hasn’t looked back since. The results he’s seen since suffering burns to 75% of his body have been the product of a “no excuses” mindset.
Thank you, Veterans. The sacrifices you’ve made with your time, safety, and mind can never be repaid. We remember the ones who we’ve lost and the ones who move through life with physical and mental battle scars. Here’s to you, HEROES.
