Andrew Gutman is a former senior associate editor at Muscle & Fitness and has contributed to Men's Journal, Men's Health, Gear Patrol, and Spartan Race. Outside of work, he balances his love of craft beers and patty melts by training in strongman and powerlifting (and going on the occasional run). He's also accepted the fact that he'll never fit into skinny jeans.
