World records? Try 3. Add in a bunch of national and state records to that list, along with an equipped total of 2665 lbs and you could say Matt knows how to build strength. Combine that with a Masters Degree in Biomechanics and a Bachelors in Exercise Science and it’s fair to say that Matt is one of the most knowledgeable lifters on the planet. Matt has helped our armed forces get stronger and avoid injury, and founded Ludus Magnus gym in the pursuit of these goals for everyone.
