As an evening class regular, he was chosen for his positive attitude and hard work. Let's check out our Q&A with Thomas:⁠ .⁠ Q: When did you start at Atlas?⁠ A: About a year and a half ago.⁠ .⁠ Q: Did you have any sports/fitness background before Atlas? ⁠ A: I grew up playing soccer almost daily until I went off to college ⚽ I also wrestled for a few years and did various forms of Karate on and off until I finished college 🥋 Before joining Atlas I just did a more traditional powerlifting routine in my basement gym I built 🏋🏻‍♂️⁠ .⁠ Q: What is your favorite lift/movement?⁠ A: Devils Press - The lift loved by everyone; even those who hate it 😈⁠ .⁠ Q: What is your least favorite lift/movement?⁠ A: Thrusters. They crush my will to live. 🤢⁠ .⁠ Q: What is your favorite cheat meal?⁠ A: If steak is considered a cheat meal, Harami Skirt Steak from Gyu Ka Ku 🥩 Otherwise, pizza. I could eat pizza for every meal if my arteries would allow it 🍕⁠ .⁠ Q: What are your fitness goals?⁠ A: Short term: Workout hard enough to overcome my terrible diet and love of beer 🍺⁠ Long term: pick up heavier things than I can now. I'd like to hit a 600lb squat and deadlift and a 400lb benchpress within the next few years 😳⁠ . ⁠ Q: What is a little known fact about you?⁠ A: I was born on Friday the 13th weighing 13 pounds. 1️⃣3️⃣⁠ .⁠ Give it up for Thomas!! #tbt to the New Year's WOD!
