**BUILT THE HARD WAY — EPISODE 06 JUSTIN ZOTTL**
**1,003 LBS.**

Now, the challenge looks different.
Being an athlete. Being there for his family. Building a career. And figuring out how all of those pieces can coexist as life, priorities, and goals continue to evolve.
Because being **BUILT THE HARD WAY** isn’t just about becoming strong enough to squat 1,000 lbs.
It’s about building something that lasts far beyond the platform.
