The competitive pool is growing fast, this will be a great event. We welcome Steven along with many of his service brethren!
Steven Fish. 30 years old and was born in CA. When I was 20 I joined the US Navy which has brought me all the way to Misawa, Japan. It has been my time here in Japan that brought me to the sport of olympic weightlifting. I started crossfit in 2013 which ended my fitness journey under the standard "bodybuilding" practices. Although I thoroughly enjoyed crossfit I found just an absolute obsession with the olympic lifts.
Any WOD that contained some variation of snatch/clean & jerk was my favorite. I attended a weightlifting seminar with the lion killer, Donny Shankle, in October of 2013 and was hooked. Although I maintained my crossfit workouts, I worked on the olympic lifts as well. About 4 months ago, August 2014, I gave up crossfit and started training exclusively olympic lifts under the programming of none other then The Champ, Jon North.
I've only competed in 2 weightlifting meets, plan to compete in my 3rd during the AWF grand open in Las Vegas and the GG1 Attitude open will be my 4th. A lot of great things have come from my short time enjoying this sport, and can't wait to see the future of it!
