Bulk Boys 17: Christina Arthur
Christina Arthur is my mom’s coach. She’s also a mixed martial artist, a nationally competitive master’s rower, a gym owner, and–more recently–a strongwoman. You can find her on Instagram at christina__arthur (two underscores).
I’m sorry for looking so slippery in this one, folks, but I’d just emerged from the mines of Isengard, where Sauroman was having a serious word with me.
