My name is Aaron Straker. Eating large quantities of quality, nutrient-dense, whole foods and lifting weights are some of my favorite things to do. The grocery store and the kitchen are some of my favorite places to be.   I have a vision that one day everyone at the gym will have the body that they work for, because they realize how they spend the other 23 hours of their day are equally as important.   I want people to see that the answers they seek aren’t found in more reps, more sets, program hopping, fat burners, pump stacks, and other workout-specific supplements that provide only marginal value.   I believe that education is ultimately the missing key for those who struggle to achieve long term success with their nutrition.
