The Rise of Jules

July 23, 2018

If you follow Garage Strength or Jules on social media you will have noticed over the last 5-6 months that she has really been coming into form.

Early offseason training isn't particularly fun--when it's 90 degrees outside every day, the gym doesn't have AC, and you have some pretty high reps in your program.
