Transformation through lesson-based learning. Allow me to teach you something new.
**Subject Of The Week**
Hypertrophy

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I'll be the first to admit that some fitness journey's ain't easy. I know mine hasn't been.

The far left photo is from around my birthday this year, 2024 (Point A). The center is from the middle of February (Point B). All the way to now (Point C). It has NOT been easy. But only because I made it difficult from points A to B.

Once I found my groove, I got more efficient with my training, rest, and recovery. My performance has changed, and my physique has responded well. Don't be fooled by hyper intensive training regiments, restrictive diets and practices.

Take your time, work your solutions, and have fun along the way. No point in doing it if it brings you no joy.

What a Weekend! I had a great time coming back to the competitive stage! First time competing for the @ocbofficialpage and the community was welcoming. I can't wait to bring an even better version of this to the next show. 💪🏾

This will be my first, last, and only real physique update for this prep.

I'm just under 3 weeks out at 167lbs in these pictures. Still pulling, still grinding, but I'm incredibly excited to step on stage again.

@dynamicfitness got me right with my posing. Now it's time to drill drill drill.

First of three.

I hope yall are all doing good this week! I'm gonna make announcements quick.

We are talking rest and recovery tomorrow!

"How can I get better sleep.?"

"I always feel sore."

"I feel more tired than normal."

"I struggle falling asleep."

These are all common phrases I typically hear from those who struggle recovering after training sessions or work. We'll touch on some way to help address and improve lack of rest.

I also want to bring posing back to my everyday practice. It's so much fun to choreograph and teach proper posing. So we're gonna have some fun with it 😁

Thank yall, I appreciate yall. Like and share and enjoy the day! 💪🏾

This is by far the easiest way to get the most out of your reps.

I'm a big "gym music" guy. Multiple playlists for different training days (slightly OCD). But the one thing that doesn't change is my attention to the songs rhythm.

If you have one or multiple songs that help you find a beat, try listening to those songs during your exercises. Slow down to match the song's timing and watch how much control you have to have in order to move the weight.

Try different things to get the most out of training. Less time in the gym and more time to rest, eat, get better/faster/stronger.

You know what time it is!

We are talking about building strong lean muscle today! Going over 3 things I added to my training that helped me break through my own plateaus.

1) Time Under Tension - Amount of time a muscle is under stress (ie weight training)
2) Range of Motion - Full vs. Half reps.
3) The Negative - Slow & Controlled

It's not about trying to do all these things at once. Instead, look at these as little changes to add individually over time. Muscle takes time and effort to build. Being efficient at it is the key to approaching and shattering your plateaus.

Like and share if you'd like 💪🏾 Be on the lookout for a longer video on this tomorrow! 😁

Alright y'all let's talk about it! We are covering the topic of hypertrophy by starting off with the basics.

For starters, what is it? How do we achieve it efficiently? Is it for me? Hopefully I can answer some of that for y'all.

Save and share this with your friends or with someone who thinks building muscle will back them 'too bulky'. I hope yall learned something new.

Announcements Announcements. I won't talk you ear off long, but we do have a couple of topics to cover.

Firstly SOTW is going to be all about muscular hypertrophy or gaining muscular size. This is an important topic for everyone, you don't have to be a bodybuilder or athlete to benefit from having strong healthy muscle tissue. This is a smaller subject than nutrition, but the practices are just as important for healthy living.

Secondly! The Gym Class Substittues website is launching soon and I couldn't be more excited. Think of it like a classroom to pick up new things to learn and add into your of lives. More info to come!

Again, thank y'all, I appreciate y'all 🙏🏾
