How did you get started in the sport?

I was training at a gym owned by powerlifters. Even though back then I had no interest or understanding of powerlifting, it was always there and slowly I was drawn in by its raw appeal.  

I finished my last competition in NZ at the NABBA North Harbour 2009, even though I ended the year on a high, the amount of competing and dieting took its toll on me. 

I had lost motivation and the buzz to compete, so when I returned to Australia I started back training just for maintenance. I needed a new challenge, and my sister took me to a facility  Rocksolid training facility in Wollongong, where I began to train in both strongman and powerlifting.

Why choose Harris?

My favourites are and have kept me in good nick. My hybrid wrist wraps are second to none, especially for handling heavy presses. My 10mm lever belt is my go to when I’m bodybuilding (squats and deadlifts). Honestly, I’ve suffered disc injuries in past due to poor equipment but Harris keeps me safe and injury free, I wont use anything else.
