Manny - I was an athlete before I became a Dietitian or a powerlifter, so that’s as good a place as any to start. Growing up I played a wide variety of sports, including soccer, basketball, and martial arts, but track and field was my main sport. I competed in the sprints (100m-400m), long jump, and triple jump all the way through high school. It was when I was in high school that I not only first stepped into the weight room but started reading about how nutrition influences sport performance. I started reading more about nutrition as well as strength and conditioning, laying the foundation for my professional career. As an aside, one of the resources I utilized early on was the Charlie Francis Forums. I didn’t post much there but I read everything I could.
