PHOTO: University of Montana sophomore Juliet Warren is a self-proclaimed people pleaser.
As she steps up to the pull-up bar, she glances around at the other gym-goers in the Adams Center before jumping up and gripping the bar to support her entire body weight. Warren always ensures she has perfect form, in case others decide to watch her during her 10-rep sets.
Warren began working out six days a week in April 2021 to prepare for her wildland firefighting job over the summer, but transitioned to devoting all her focus to her training in the fall for a May 7 bodybuilding competition.
After struggling with the extreme dieting and the mental toll of a regimented lifestyle, Warren now has shifted to powerlifting, and said she is finally doing something for herself rather than to impress others.
