Coach Brandon’s Take:
“Bucky has done a tremendous job improving as an athlete. He has steadily improved his strength and weightlifting, while also continuing to get better in the gymnastics movements. Bucky is always willing to accept coaching, whether it’s form and technique work with the barbell or strategy with reps in the WOD. He has become a staple in the evening classes and is always encouraging other members and helping to clean up weights afterwards.”
