300 lb weight set for Jon to assist with exercise and gaining muscle

Posted Nov 11, 2024
Jon has recently started a weightlifting program at school, where he has impressively progressed to deadlifting 285 pounds. However, his school's limited availability of dumbbells poses a challenge, as he would enjoy having weights at home to enhance his training routine. In the past, Jon faced concerns about weight gain related to his prescribed medication, but he has been thriving in terms of health lately. By focusing on a balanced diet, he has not only lost some weight but has also gained significant muscle. This positive transformation boosts his confidence and motivates him to continue pursuing his fitness goals. With the right equipment at home, he hopes to further his training and reach new heights in his strength journey.

Jon is 16 years old and lives in CA

Jon was removed from his home shortly before his fourteenth birthday when his mother abandoned him. He has high-functioning autism and is doing really well in school. Jon enjoys multiple monthly outings, staying active, and playing basketball or ping-pong.
