Manny Fausett

Background

Manuel "Manny" Fausett received a B.A. in Criminal Justice and Paralegal Certification from Boise State University and has been a personal trainer for six years. Manny, during his nine year stint in the service, competed in endurance events including triathlons, but eventually drifted over to powerlifting because of boredom and the availability of local events.

Manny's best lifts as a powerlifter was a 610 squat, 410 bench press and a 585 deadlift at a body weight of 181 pounds. During a competition in Munich, Germany, Manny suffered a back injury which now prevents him to compete in powerlifting events. However, he used that experience to formulate his philosophy which he now espouses.
