1065 at 160 lbs.

That’s a 40 lb PR total from last year—but that’s not even the most impressive part.

Two kids under 5 at home.
A cranky elbow 2 months out.
Hip issues during prep.

Most people would’ve backed off… he doubled down.
We adjusted training. Managed pain. Stayed consistent. And showed up when it mattered.

That’s what real progress looks like—not perfect conditions, but ex*****on through real life.

Proud of you, man. And even better getting to see him compete alongside two of his buddies.

If you’re someone who wants to hit new PRs, build real strength, or just finally stay consistent—reach out.

I offer free consultations and online coaching built around YOUR life, not the other way around.

Let’s get to work.

“If you’re not working out to Sesame Street… you’re leaving gains on the table.”

Half joke. Half truth.

Because if you’re a parent, your workouts aren’t always quiet or perfectly planned.

Sometimes it’s cartoons in the background.
Sometimes it’s kids climbing on you between sets.

But you’ve got two options:

Wait for perfect conditions…
or control what you can control.

Get it in when you can.
Use what you’ve got.

Consistency over perfection.

One of the biggest mistakes people make with fat loss?

They think they have to give up foods they enjoy.

You don’t.

You just need better options.

This has been one of my go-to desserts lately — high protein, low calorie, and actually tastes good.

Recipe:
• 510 grams yogurt (I use Fage and Dannon Light and Fit)
• 1 scoop protein powder (choose your favorite flavor that fits with recipe.
• .5 serving of toppings split into 3 containers
Macros (approx): Calories: 300
Protein: 36
Carbs: 22
Fat:9
(In the video I didnt account for the reeses eggs)

You can swap brands, adjust ingredients, or skip toppings to fit your goals.

Want lower calories?
→ Skip or reduce toppings

Want more protein?
→ Add a little more powder or use a higher protein yogurt

Fat loss and maintenance don’t have to feel restrictive.

It’s about finding substitutions that make this something you can stick to long term.

“If you’re not changing it… you’re choosing it.”

I know life is busy.

Work.
Kids.
Schedules.
Responsibilities.

But at some point, we have to stop saying
“I don’t have time”
when we really mean
“It’s not a priority right now.”

And that’s okay — as long as we’re honest about it.
Because the moment you decide something matters,
you start finding ways to make it happen.

No shame.

Just ownership.

My training looked very different the first few months after our baby was born.

Shorter workouts.
Less sleep.
More chaos.

If you listen closely you can even hear the laundry going in the background while I’m filming this.

That’s real life right now.

Fitness doesn’t happen in perfect conditions.

It happens when you find ways to fit it into the life you actually have.

I almost didn’t post this.

After our baby was born my momentum completely stopped.

When I came back, I kept waiting to make the perfect video.

Then I realized…

That’s exactly what people do with fitness.

Waiting for the perfect program.
Perfect routine.
Perfect timing.

You don’t need perfect.

You need movement and momentum.

Most people do presses that only hit one plane of motion.

The Arnold Press trains the shoulder the way it’s meant to move — rotating through its full range.

That twist improves shoulder mobility, joint stability, and helps you build balanced strength that actually carries over to real life.

✅ Keeps tension on all three deltoid heads
✅ Builds functional strength through rotation
✅ Better shoulder health and posture

Start light, move smooth, and rotate with purpose.

It’s Halloween week 🎃 and more people than ever are choosing trunk-or-treat over walking the neighborhood. Just like Amazon, Instacart, Uber Eats, and every other “ultra-convenient” option, it’s one more way we accidentally remove movement from our lives.

Convenience isn’t bad… until it replaces the little daily movements our bodies were designed for.

This year, don’t skip the steps. Don’t skip the neighborhood. Don’t skip the movement.

Get out there, walk with your kids, and earn that candy. 🍬👟
Remember, small hinges move big doors. The little choices matter.

Here are the top 5 reasons kids stay in sports—and why it matters:

Fun & enjoyment – Kids who laugh and play are 24× more likely to keep going.

Friendships & social connection – Peer relationships explain ~30% of retention for ages 10-14.

Skill development & mastery – When they feel competent, they stick.

Supportive adult relationships – Coaches & parents focusing on effort (not just outcome) boost retention by up to 60%.

Belonging & team identity – Feeling part of something reduces drop-out by ~35%.

🧒🏽⚽ Let’s make sure our kids are in sports for all the right reasons.
It’s about growth, joy, friendship, and identity—not just wins.

“Exercise vs Training”

If you’re not seeing progress, there’s a good chance you’re just exercising — not training.

Exercising is:
• Random workouts
• Burning calories
• Going through the motions
• “Sweat = success”

Training is:
• Purposeful
• Progressively overloaded
• Measured
• Focused on getting better at something (strength, mobility, conditioning)

Exercise isn’t bad. It’s a great start. But training is better — it changes your body, your confidence, your strength, and your capability in the real world.

So ask yourself this week:
➡️ Am I just working out… or am I working toward something?

Choose training. Show up with intention. Make your work count.
