Uncensored Humanity UH 011 - Brandon Gerber

Our guest today is Brandon Gerber of Gerbzilla Powerlifting. Brandon is an ACE (American Council on Exercise) certified personal trainer. Brandon currently works out of Durniat Strength in Wooster Ohio. He has been a personal trainer for 6 years.

Brandon started lifting in high school for sports. It lead to him competing in multiple different strength sports including grip strength, highland games, strongman and powerlifting. His main sport that he still competes in is powerlifting. He is a 2 time national level powerlifter in the 105 Kg class for the USAPL federation. He also qualified and lifted at the 2018 Arnold Sports Festival and placed 2nd in the push-pull meet. That's an accomplishment that most people will never achieve during their lifting career.

Brandon is also a bit of a gear head, or petrol head for you Top Gear fans. He has been building hot rods with his dad for most of his life. Last year he finished a 1929 Ford Model A that he and his dad have been building since he was in high school. He sold the Model A and is now building a 1932 Ford Roadster that should be complete this year.

Today we sat down and got to know Brandon. He may be young but he knows a ton about strength training. It seems like every time I see him he's telling me about something new that he learned or he's showing me a crazy lifting video.

You can follow Brandon on Instagram @Gerbzilla_Powerlifting. If you want to get in touch with him about online training or some kick ass Gerbzilla Powerlifting apparel you can email him at GerbzillaPowerlifting@gmail.com.
