This week I’m joined by former collegiate swimmers turned crossfitters Hannah Mcgee and Sean Finly Fordham university alumni , and Elizabeth Gaspari who swam at Penn State.  We get into how they initially got into swimming with all three of them having much different introductions to the sport. From there we get into their decisions to continue the sport into college and developing their competitive side. Like many life long athletes they discovered CrossFit as a way to continue that competitive drive and it continues to challenge them in ways past sports never have.

We dug into her younger years as an athlete and what made her get into the weight room initially. She was in the gym at a young age motivates to experiment with all the machines and eventually made her way to the free weight. Everything really started to spark for her in high school when she took a strength and conditioning class from there she was hooked .

What up dogs this week I’m joined by Mike Devito co-owner of CrossFit Delco and all around good dude.  Mike and his partner Andrea have been co-owners of Crossfit Delco, home of the barbell club I’m a team member of Delco Barbell, for about two years. We start our convo off diving into their recent trip as spectators to the crossfit games before getting into Mikes fitness journey. He was a lot like me growing up never really having the urge to workout like other guys our age and in college his addictive personality led him to a lot of binge eating.  One fateful kayaking trip change that all for him as he was unable to save himself and had to be rescued from danger. From there Mike put his drive to go all in on things to good use and found martial arts, nutrition and eventually crossfit.  Mike : https://instagram.com/mdevito787?utm_medium=copy_link CF Delco: https://www.crossfitdelco.com/ Venture green nutrition: https://instagram.com/venturegreensnutrition?utm_medium=copy_link Discount code off venture green CBd: HungryDog
