After that we kept bumping into each other at competitions, and then I started working out at the Upper Limit Gym when it opened up. That was a great place to work out because the Utah Jazz trained there, and Greg and his BFS staff made certain they took their lifting seriously. One day when I was working out Greg asked me if I wanted to work at the gym, and I accepted. That started my relationship with BFS. <br>If there s one major struggle Dan has had as an athlete, it s with his bodyweight.
