8 years ago, Brad joined Team GrassIron. At the same time, he also started working on his bachelor’s degree. Fast forward to 2026 - he recently completed his masters and is headed to Flagstaff to begin work as a therapist!🥳
Brad, you feel like family and we’re going to miss you terribly… BUT we’re also very excited for you to start this new chapter. We wish you the very best! 🤩
(If you wanna stop in and say goodbye, he’ll be at the gym Saturday from nine to noon!)

June Athlete of the Month: JACKY!!! 🥳🏆🥇
When Jacky joined GrassIron in the summer of 2023, she started with general strength training. A few months later, she decided she wanted to learn the Olympic lifts. From that point on, she was ALL IN.
As if chasing PRs wasn’t enough, Jacky has also been working toward her PhD. 😳 Before moving to Houston for an internship, she set one final goal: sn**ch 55 kg. It was a number she’d been pursuing for a long time, making it both meaningful and challenging.
During her final week in Austin, she took a break from packing, headed to the gym, and gave it everything she had. And guess what?!?!
💪SHE SNATCHED 55KG!
Jacky, your perseverance is truly inspirational. Balancing the demands of doctoral studies and a major move all while chasing 55kg is no small feat.
Congratulations on achieving an incredible milestone! 🙌 Houston’s lucky to have you - we’ll be cheering you on from Austin as you chase the next one!
