Matthew Lannon grew up in a family run by sports. He avidly played baseball and golf while following football and hockey. He was even exposed to his first weightlifting routine at the age of eleven.

While pursuing an English degree at Merrimack College, he found himself always wanting to learn. On his spare time, he began to research the various ways to pursue optimal health. Over the years, he’s gained experience with barbells, kettlebells, and calisthenics. Also, he’s learned a thing or two about cooking for any diet fad.

After earning his Bachelor’s in English, he aspired to learn more about balancing a healthy life. Going from a reader to a writer at Bodybuilding.com, he hopes to share his lessons with readers.
