Hi everyone, I’m Ryan Messa, 26, from Virginia Beach, VA. - Grew up in Houston, TX and later Pennsylvania before joining the military at 19. - Spent my teen years competing in bodybuilding & powerlifting. - Favorite gym memory: finally deadlifting 700 lbs last November (after chasing it for years). - Current goal: 815 lbs. - Outside the gym, I’m all about good friends, community, and enjoying life here in VB. Excited to meet you all!
