He Squatted 500 lbs… But Couldn’t Run a Mile (Then CrossFit Happened) | 148

Will walked into Red Wolf as a 220-lb powerlifter who could squat 500 lbs… and crawl through a 12-minute mile. His doctor literally told him to “start working out” while he was already training 5x/week. Cholesterol was trash, endurance was zero, and CrossFit had a very bad reputation in his world.In this episode of Pack Mentality, we break down how Will went from “strong but stuck” to shredded, fitter, and healthier. He talks about how he dropped 20 lbs and a huge chunk of body fat while only losing 5–10 lbs off his big lifts.We also get into:• Why he almost didn’t join Red Wolf• How smart programming kept his strength while building insane conditioning• The moment he realized “it’s not a knowledge problem, it’s an execution problem”• How CrossFit fixed his bloodwork and boosted his confidence, marriage, and family life• Why community makes every PR feel like everyone’s PRIf you’ve ever thought, “I need to get in shape before I start CrossFit,” this episode will wreck that excuse in the best way possible.
