Campbell trains under the tutelage of Al Stork, who has been training powerlifters for 21 years. She credits Stork with giving her the motivation to keep getting stronger.
“Athletes don’t always know what their potential is, and a good coach does,” she said. “Al knows that I’m capable of doing it.” Stork opened up Stork’s Gym in Winterport and started lifting at the age of 15. courtesy of Bangor Daily News |
