Brandon Tarket
My name is Brandon Tarket and I am 27 years old. Lifting and strength training has been a huge part of my life for the better part of 7 years now. I have competed in both strongman and powerlifting, placing in local events and placing 2nd in a sanctioned strongman meet. I have always had this desire to be competitive, but I've learned over time it was never really against other people, but more so myself. Thats what makes strength sports so amazing, you can always find ways to improve and beat the former version of yourself, whether it be physically or mentally. It's more than just lifting weights, it's about building confidence, discipline, good habits, and courage. There is always something to learn, to try out, to expand on, and I have been so blessed to be in an environment that promotes the ideal of being better each and every day. Just over a year ago I received a personal training certification by the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), however I am always eager to learn more, which is why I am also currently a student studying to expand on my knowledge on fitness and training. I will always continue to learn so I can share my knowledge with others and help them become successful.
