Kent Brown:
I grew up in a small town, Zealandia, about an hour west of Saskatoon. Ever since I can remember I've always been a very competitive and an aggressive person in any sports that I played. Growing up I played hockey, football, soccer really anything that was a contact sport. Being smaller, only 5'7 on a good day and weighing 150 pounds, I was always looking to get stronger so I could be competitive with my larger competitors.
After high-school sports were over my focus on fitness really started to decline and I was your regular guy trying to go to the gym 3 times a week and hitting chest every day and no legs.
In the winter of 2012 I found Reebok Crossfit 306 which allowed my competitive spirt to once again come out and slowly began to rebuild my body and core after years of improper training. Around 8 months later, the gym started its power lifting program and I was hooked and have rarely missed a training session since then.
