In more recent times, Elliott has focused on helping clients through his ‘Strength Camp’ workout class. His popularity online has sky-rocketed, and he’s become a well-respected figure, posting videos with Kali Muscle and other athletes online.

Biography

Bodybuilding Beginnings

Elliott grew up in a suburb of New York City. His family is from Belize, and his uncle, who was a martial arts expert, helped to spark Elliott’s passion for strength training. He taught Elliott and his younger brothers how to start working out. They learned push ups, sit ups, chin ups, along with a variety of calisthenic options.

He says that due to this early intervention from his uncle, he became one of the best athletes in his elementary and middle school. His uncle went on to be a professional personal trainer and sponsored athlete.

Mental Benefits And Football

Through Elliott’s new workout routine, he realized the training helped his body, as well as his mind. The self-esteem which Elliott gained from lifting weights, impacted every area of his life. He became interested in any sports which would allow him to utilize raw strength, and build a bigger body in the process.

One of these sports was american football. He played football throughout his high school years, and loved the combination of weightlifting and physical aggression that it offered. He was such a good player, that he was awarded a scholarship to play in the 1st division at St. John’s University in New York.

College And Starting A Business

Elliott loved playing football at university, as it gave him a lot of time to develop his body in the gym. When Elliott had graduated from University, he opened a warehouse gym which, he says, was “way over” his budget. He bought it anyway, and says he was “doing quite well” until the economic collapse of 2008 hit.

When the economy collapsed, no one could afford to use his gym, so he had to look elsewhere for clients. It was this need for an income source that inspired Elliott to set up his YouTube account.

He bought an old laptop from the pawn shop for “$700,” and got to work chasing this new dream. As he began to reach out to new clients, he realized the internet would allow him to go beyond his local economy and find a new income stream.
