MEFs June MOTM is Mr Chris P!! You’ll find Chris out there slanging weights in his best captain America fit . Well deserved ! Here’s a bit more about Chris! 👇🏽•
•
Favorite Movement:
Front squats, or back squats. Really squats in general that include a barbell. Remember: Never skip leg day.
Least Favorite Movement:
Wall balls BLEH!! Air squats with the need for hand-eye coordination to throw/catch things. It’s like someone decided squats weren’t hard enough and added dodgeball elements to it.
Favorite Cheat Meal:
An All American Burger from NHOP (Northborough House of Pizza) followed by a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. Specifically “Americone Dream”. Because if you’re gonna cheat, cheat like an American: go big or go home.
Favorite Place To Visit:
Really anywhere with warm weather and sandy beaches, but the Manthiri Liveaboard in the Maldives is second to none when it comes to scuba diving.
If You Could Have Any Superpower, What Would It Be:
Teleportation (including bringing people/things)! Being able to travel anywhere in the world in an instant would be amazing. Weekend in Fiji? BAM! Instantly teleport there. You wouldn’t even need to pack anything, just teleport home and back if you need something.
Fun Facts Not Many People Know:
Did you know that jellyfish don’t have a brain? Kind of like me after bike sprints when Colin asks “What-chu thinkin about Chrissy P”. The answer is always “Nothing Colin”
Fun fact about me though: I’m a huge geek when it comes to gaming. I was President of my college’s “Competitive Video Game Club”. Also Secretary and Treasurer but those aren’t nearly as exciting.

Favorite Place To Visit: Arizona. I have a lot of family there and love the desert and mountains. It’s a nice change of pace from up here.
If You Could Have Any Superpower, What Would It Be:
