Michele Clark High is teeming with pride, despite their community's high crime rate. With athletics being a way to keep kids off the streets, the staff wanted more than just a spare room and ancient equipment to boost the morale and brighten the future of the students. ► Donate to the Lift Life Foundation: https://bbcom.me/2Cu3MMa ► Nominate a School: http://bit.ly/2Cu3XqO ► Lift Life Foundation Website: https://www.liftlifefoundation.org/ ► Other Lift Life Foundation Projects: http://bit.ly/2tnT7Mh Nothing will break up a community faster than crime and violence. It undermines the economy, family life, public safety, and education. Understandably, many people leave the area in response, and ones who stay behind often feel trapped and despondent. Austin, a community within Chicago, Illinois, is one such neighborhood. Once one of the biggest areas in the city, Austin's population, economy, and communal feel have all steadily declined due to drugs and gang activity. In fact, Michele Clark is one of the few schools remaining in the area. With this in mind, the school has endeavored to provide kids with safe refuge among people who feel like family. Principal Charles Anderson is the driving force behind this effort, along with Athletic Director Kevin Simmons. Both act as more than just teachers in the lives of many of the students. The entire staff has created an environment that fosters growth, and athletics is a big part of that effort. However, with a dilapidated weight room, no physical growth would be happening any time soon. "I'm always looking for ways to encourage them, ways to excite them, ways to show them that they're number one at this school," Principal Anderson says. "For me, I wanted to build up the confidence of the students, make them proud of where they are and feel empowered to advocate for themselves. I also told them, 'I want you to be able to understand how to play hard and work hard.'" And what better way to show his students than with a brand-new gym? Lifted Up Michele Clark High's weight room looked about as put together as a spare storage shed, where people just happened to accumulate an assortment of outdated fitness equipment. Matching dumbbells were hard to come by. Many important pieces of equipment were missing, and what remained was barely functional. Lift Life was drawn to Michele Clark's submission, not only because of the dire condition of their gym, but because of the passion the coach and principal exuded for the kids. They treat them like their own children, making the best with what they have. This school needed a weight room that matched the immense amount of pride felt by the staff and students. It was like a second home for many, and their home deserved more than some old-school equipment straight out of the 80s, crammed into a 10-by-20 space. After a full year of tear-downs, designing, and assembling, the Lift Life team, along with its partner, Optimum Nutrition, created the gym equivalent of a king's castle, one that could very well rival those in many college strength-training facilities. When the day of the reveal finally came, it was as if the football team had already won the state championship. Gone were the days of makeshift exercises and taking turns on one squat rack. The entire school had something they could use with pride. "This is going to give them something that's theirs," Simmons said. "Nobody in the city has anything like this. Now you're unique. Now it's what you do with it. Are you going to let it sit dormant, or are you going to take advantage of it?" If giving young athletes a head start in life is as exciting for you as it is for us, you can donate to the Lift Life Foundation or nominate a school to be considered for a future renovation. | Support the Lift Life Foundation | ► Lift Life Snapback Hat: https://bbcom.me/2CvEblZ ► Lift Life Raglan 3/4 Tee: https://bbcom.me/2CvU8bV ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► Twitch: http://bit.ly/2q1dttE ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

Our Lift Life Foundation has one goal in mind: serving students at underfunded high schools across the US by transforming their dilapidated weight rooms into state-of-the-art facilities. ► Watch the Full Story: http://bit.ly/2CtUX5a ► Nominate a School: http://bit.ly/2Cu3XqO ► Other Lift Life Foundation Projects: http://bit.ly/2tnT7Mh Partnering with @OptimumNutrition on our most recent project at Michele Clark High in Chicago was our most touching transformation to date. When the @liftlifefoundation received the school’s submission video for a remodel, weights were tossed on the floor aimlessly and machines were held together precariously. The results after modernizing the weight room would stun everyone. Witness the reaction of the students once their new and transformed weight room is revealed by watching the full video, linked in our bio. Be a part of the change! Help us out by donating to the cause and bring another world-class weight room to a school in need. | Support the Lift Life Foundation | ► Lift Life Snapback Hat: https://bbcom.me/2CGYInZ ► Lift Life Raglan 3/4 Tee: https://bbcom.me/2CxPdHl ► Donate to the Lift Life Foundation: https://bbcom.me/2CyA7l8 ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► Twitch: http://bit.ly/2q1dttE ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

The Lift Life Foundation is a nonprofit organization that serves students at underfunded high schools across the United States by completely transforming their old, dilapidated and unsafe weight rooms into state-of-the-art facilities with brand-new equipment. Lift Life Foundation ► http://bit.ly/28IYwDq Nominate a School ► http://bbcom.me/2xfEsoV | Mission Statement | Our mission is to give underprivileged students access to the tools they need to improve their fitness levels, boost their self-worth, and to become the best versions of themselves — both physically and — mentally through exercise. ========================================­===== | Support the Lift Life Foundation | Lift Life Snapback Hat ► http://bbcom.me/2xfJC4j - Buy A Hat, Transform A Life - 100% Of The Proceeds Help Provide Weight Rooms And Fitness Equipment To Underfunded Schools.

In an era when athletics are being cut because of lack of funding and childhood obesity is at an all-time high, we saw a dire need to step in and take immediate action. We know the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle, and all the benefits that come with it. So, we decided to create our own nonprofit organization from scratch that would give new life to old rundown high school weight rooms and give underprivileged students access to an amazing space that can literally change their lives both physically and mentally for the better. We are committed to growing our foundation to a nationally recognized nonprofit organization that is leading the charge in reinstating the importance of health and fitness in our youth. We are very fortunate that Bodybuilding.com is our Founding Partner, and is committed to the foundation’s longevity and success. The Lift Life Foundation is Bodybuilding.com’s sole charitable beneficiary, and a portion of all their sale proceeds go to the foundation. Bodybuilding.com also donates services that help with the Foundation’s marketing efforts so more people have visibility into the amazing work that’s being done. We are committed to changing the landscape of youth health and fitness, but can’t do it alone. We need support from individuals and business to change lives by either nominating a school in need, donating so we can do more projects, or partnering with us if a business aligns with our initiative and wants to contribute their products/services | Our Partners | Arsenal Strength | Equipment ► http://bit.ly/2u1BBBk Catapult3 | Graphics ► http://bit.ly/2u1z8Xx WESCO | Lighting ► http://bit.ly/2u1zdKP Writey Board | Dry Erase Boards ► http://bit.ly/2u1oT5i Woodland Group | Logistics ► http://bit.ly/2u1tbdh Sunbelt Rentals | Construction Rental ► http://bit.ly/2u0KhIg Movement Guides | Athletic Development ► http://bit.ly/2u1ob8g ========================================­===== | Bodybuilding.com | Fitness Apps ► http://bbcom.me/24ijmAz Sales & Specials ► http://bbcom.me/24ijm3v Fitness Articles ► http://bbcom.me/24ijpwi #1 Online Supplement Store ► http://bbcom.me/24ijoIN Free Fitness Plans ► http://bbcom.me/24ijrEt ========================================­===== | Follow Us | YouTube ► http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 Facebook ► http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr Instagram ► http://bit.ly/1LzBxab Twitter ► http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL Google+ ► http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu Pinterest ► http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 Spotify ► http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

Professional gamer and fitness enthusiast Jackson 'Bajheera' Bliton lives the "Games & Gains" lifestyle. When he's not pwning in World of Warcraft, you can find him live-streaming his workouts on Twitch. Follow him around for a day!

In the real world, this 25-year-old Californian lives with his girlfriend, picks up heavy stuff in the gym, devours chicken and butter lettuce with ranch dressing—you know, pretty typical human stuff. Then, at least once per day, Jackson hops on the Internet and transforms into Bajheera, a human warrior with a beard as mighty as his sword. Bajheera battles against fearsome orcs, humanoid bovine creatures called tauren, the living dead, and other creatures you've correctly assumed are not of this world (hopefully). Fire-breathing dragons, elves, creepy-looking fish monsters, and fantastical possibilities all exist within a video game called World of Warcraft, in which Jackson—er, Bajheera—spends a majority of his day, decapitating trolls and yelling fervently at his computer monitor, while tens of thousands of people around the world watch him do it. Thanks to the power of video platforms like YouTube and Twitch, he plays video games for the masses and gets paid to do it. (For those not in-the-know, Twitch is a platform that allows you to live broadcast yourself doing something—usually playing a video game.) Yup, you heard right. Jackson makes a living off slaying baddies in this virtual world for 6-8 hours a day. That's on top of making YouTube videos about playing said video games and interacting with his fans, while still staying in killer shape. Quite simply, Jackson is one jacked gamer. GAMES 'N GAINS THE BEGINNING Every superhero has an origin story. Jackson's knack for fitness sprouted at a young age: "Right from the beginning [my dad] would have me do push-ups. We'd do like 50 push-ups, and he'd do them with me," Jackson recalls of his childhood. Then, one day, the wee-young Jackson was mesmerized by buff cartoon characters on his TV. "I started watching a lot of Dragonball Z and thought, 'Oh my god, those guys are so cool! Dad, I need to go to the gym. I need to try and save the world.'" I suspect that, to this day, Jackson still admires those anime characters, as evidenced by the Dragonball Z shirt he wore during our interview. Thankfully, Jackson didn't take any hairstyle cues from the Dragonball Z characters, although he did finally get to the gym with his dad and iron out his skills in the weight room. Throughout his adolescence, Jackson put time in the gym with his dad, even if he had running practice beforehand. For Jackson, the gym is a stress reliever that allows him to build himself in any way he likes—similar to developing a World of Warcraft character, in fact. "There's no greater feeling than depleting everything you've got [in the gym] and then sitting down to play a video game like World of Warcraft," Jackson says, "in which you can continue the leveling process, after you've leveled yourself in real life, and then continue your training in a virtual world." ========================================­===== | Bajheera's Favorite Supplements | Cellucor C4 Pre-workout ► http://bbcom.me/2qA3POb - Advanced Pre-Workout for Increased Energy and Focus* - Great Tasting Powder to Provide an Explosive Surge of Motivation* Quest Nutrition Quest Bars ► http://bbcom.me/2qzVUjJ - Whey Protein Bar for Building Muscle* - Gluten Free Bar with High Quality Protein and No Added Sugar* COR-Performance Whey ► http://bbcom.me/2qAcgch - Fast Acting Protein Powder to Build Muscle* - Great Tasting Protein with Minimal Fat and Carbs and Added Digestive Enzymes* ========================================­===== | Bodybuilding.com | Sales & Specials ► http://bbcom.me/2q1djSY Fitness Articles ► http://bbcom.me/2q1p7Vq #1 Online Supplement Store ► http://bbcom.me/2q1os6y Free Fitness Plans ► http://bbcom.me/2q1dhKU #1 Women's Fitness Site ► http://bbcom.me/2q1ouvc ========================================­===== | Follow Us | Twitch ► http://bit.ly/2q1dttE YouTube ► http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 Facebook ► http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr Instagram ► http://bit.ly/1LzBxab Twitter ► http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL Google+ ► http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu Pinterest ► http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 Spotify ► http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.
