22.07.2020. Jake Baker | Be Somebody Podcast #1.


For the inaugural episode of The Be Somebody Podcast Jake and Wes sat down and we let Jake introduce himself in depth. Jake told his weightlifting story, and he shares how he got to Cal Strength. To say he's an interesting dude would be an understatement! He's been homeless, he's been to music school, he's been in the military and even attended the United States Military Academy; he's kind of done it all! Jake shares his unique upbringing and explains how he went from never being involved in athletics to aspiring to be an Olympian.

29.07.2020. Wes Kitts | Be Somebody Podcast #2.


Wes is well known for his accomplishments as a 105kg and 109kg for Team USA, but what you may not know is that he has been involved in sports and training his whole life. We talk about his college athletic career, the gym he left behind in Knoxville, TN, his time in GRID League, and how he transitioned into full-time weightlifting. He’s had a very interesting journey and he’s always picking up momentum as he moves on to the next thing. Hope you enjoy it!
