Believing in Your Crazy Dreams & How to Stop at Nothing

with Brandon Wakeling

RAW Barbell Club Podcast

Episode 26

If you follow Brandon on Instagram you’ll see a professional athlete that is crazy strong and seems to train his Abs an inordinate amount. The truth however is that Brandon is just a regular dude, but one with an immense will to be the best! Only in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting for a few years, Brandon has quickly become one of the best lifters in the country, through an enormous drive, a little luck and the support of his network.

In this episode of the RAW Barbell Club Podcast Andy and Brandon sit down to chat about his journey to the 2018 Commonwealth Games in his home town of the Gold Coast. This is an episode about grit, determination but most of all sacrifice. What you have to give up on if you choose to go down a certain path. I think you guys will love this one, and love Brandon even more!
