He will be speaking from 6-7 and then doing a workout after. A little bit more about Tyler from Tyler: My name is Tyler Brey. I was born in 1989 with spina bifida. When I was 12 I joined the middle school wrestling team and continued to wrestle all the way until my first year of college. I f...ought my opponents from my knees and always competed against able bodied athletes. Then I went on to compete in Paralympic powerlifting and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu where I also always competed against able bodied athletes. After 12 years of hard work I earned my black belt in jiu jitsu and have placed somewhere between 1st and 3rd at almost every jiu jitsu tournament I have entered over the years. During my 5 year powerlifting career I represented the US team at the 2010 world championships in Malaysia and the 2011 Para-Pan American Games in Guadalajara. Then I went on to win my IFBB pro card in 2015 and have been competing in professional wheelchair bodybuilding ever since. Now I am focused on maximizing my personal training business and my professional bodybuilding career. See more
