Hi, I’m Jacob

I’ve been lifting for years, and along the way I’ve learned a few things. Mainly by just doing, failing and adjusting. How to train smarter, fuel my progress, stay consistent, and recover.

If you’re into strength, speed, endurance, nutrition, or just trying to improve yourself, you’re in the right spot.

All those cardio sessions staring into the abyss on a treadmill while it’s 20 degrees outside finally paid off. Fellas we’re on top notch behavior in miami (shocker) will need to come back to be degens.

Carbed up with the best local foods and 20 plates of pasta. Had enough energy in the tank to pull a solid negative race.. got held up in the pack at the start next goal would be 1:45, and that should be doable.

Went from 1 mile a week to 3 and thinking that was hard to 6 to 10 to 13. WE RAN SO FAR #outmybody #halfmarathoner #miami #hybridathlete #running taken in Miami, Florida by @defxlift

If Mexico teaches you anything let it be:
- the pharmacy tells you nothing but the truth, you’ll be CBUM.
- don’t surf after leg day
- salt your margs for extra electrolytes after running in extreme heat and humidity
- make sure to stare at the chickens directly while biting down on a nice drum stick if they mock you

Running is great. But your cardio doesn’t always have to tax up your body. 🏃‍♂️

Bikes, rowers, SkiErgs, incline walks… there’s more than one way to get your heart rate up and improve endurance.

I’ve always tracked my workouts. Now I wanted to understand what was happening underneath them.

So I got my metabolic data tested.

VO₂ max: 55
Individual heart rate zones
Fuel utilization at different intensities

The biggest takeaway? Not every workout should be treated the same.

Easy runs can actually be easy.
Hard sessions can have a purpose.
Long runs can be fueled differently.
And nutrition can better match what I’m asking my body to do.

Most importantly, I now have a baseline.

The goal isn’t just getting a cool number — it’s seeing if the training actually changes the numbers over time.

Data → apply it → train → retest → adjust.

That’s the part I’m interested in.

How fast can you complete this one?

Screenshot workout and comment your time:
- Ski erg 1000 m
- 25 burpee box jump overs (30in)
- Row 1000 m
- 50 barbell shoulder press (95lbs)
- 25 wall balls (20lb ball)
- 25 ground to overhead dumbbells (40lbs each 80lbs total)
- 1000 m run

Tips for success:
- fuel up before hand (carb, electrolytes)
- rest 30s-1m between modalities
- aim for a hard but sustainable pace (should be tough but don’t go all out or you’ll gas out too early)
- break up sets if you have to (example: 10 shoulder presses, rest for 15s, 10 more, etc)

set the clothes out, put the shoes on and head out. stacking consistency wins over the perfect session.
who knows — maybe you’ll feel better then before you started.

You can’t out-train poor movement forever.

Whether you’re lifting, running, or competing. Your body is only as strong as the patterns you reinforce.

Mobility work, proper form, and control are what allow you to train harder, stay healthier, and perform for years.

Don’t just chase more weight. Chase better movement. 🔥
