Member Spotlight ❗️
Christian Kornegay born in Herndon, VA is a true man of strength. With a high character in and out of the gym it is easy to root for him in his powerlifting endeavor. Christian started his lifting during high school in weight training class and quickly fell in love. He began body building style training after graduating but soon realized his love for lifting big weight.
In 2018 Christian hired a powerlifting coach and trained for close to a year before he decided to compete in his first meet. Although he was a “nervous mess” going into the competition Christian credits the other athletes in the powerlifting community with helping him have an easy and enjoyable first meet, going 9/9 with 27 white lights and earning first in his class.
Since his first meet Christian has competed in numerous meets including the first ever USAPL Virginia Pro and the 2022 Arnold Pro AM. “Going up against the best of the best was tough” Christian says, and “although I didn’t place it has only made me hungrier to get better everyday which is exactly what I do day in and day out”.
