Strong and Proud *

I’m a proud bisexual man and when I joined the Commando Temple team, I loved strongman training but felt like I didn’t fit in with the gritty, macho exterior I felt the sport embraced. I thought there must be other people who love strength training, aren’t afraid to get covered in blood and chalk but who also appear fabulous :)
