About the Author
Slater was a collegiate wrestler, competing for four seasons at Eastern Michigan University. Since his time competing on the mat, he has been heavily involved in strength training and is still active in the sport of strongman with competing and with promoting events.
Heidi Campo, MS, CSCS,*D, NSCA-CPT*D, is a strength and conditioning professional, researcher, and former gym owner with nearly two decades of experience in the private sector. She has worked as a coach since 2005 and previously owned a strength-focused gym in Salt Lake City, Utah, with a particular emphasis on strongman and other strength sports.
Campo's passion for strongman deepened in 2015 when she spent a winter in Iceland training at Jakaból Gym, known as the Nest of Giants, under four-time World's Strongest Man Magnús Ver Magnússon. In 2020, she founded the NSCA Strongman Special Interest Group and has remained actively involved in its development. As the former Utah chair for Strongman Corporation, Campo developed a deep appreciation for how strongman training can positively shape individuals, teams, and local communities through shared challenge, discipline, and purpose.
Alongside her professional work, Campo is committed to the intentional practice of her Christian faith and enjoys spending time with her husband, Daniel, and their corgi-pitbull mix, Simba. She values meaningful conversation, quiet time in nature, good food, great music, and philosophy.
