Someone told me I might end up on a random family’s mantelpiece for accepting photo requests.

Also possible that I end up as part of some kid’s villian arc (5).

Either way, it was all worth it.

And I tried pepino melon.

Summer trip to Beijing

Tiananmen Square

Forbidden City

The Great Wall of China

Summer Palace

Personally, I enjoyed seeing The Great Wall of China and the Summer Palace the most. The idea of coordinating generations-long projects that still withstand the test of time is beyond impressive.

A man made lake, man made mountain AND a palace? Incredible.

Beijing also made me reflect on how I’m using my time in this life. What “monuments” am I building and is it something I’ll truly be proud of?

What legacy will I leave? Will it be something that others deem worthy of preserving?

Or will I be among the many spending my life contributing to someone else’s lofty vision even if it doesn’t align with my own?

Shanghai - “on the sea”

Huangpu River

Shanghai Tower

The Bund

Yu garden

Old Town Shanghai

Shanghai is an incredible city that has undergone a huge transformation in recent years. There’s a time lapse video of the city in the lobby of the Shanghai Tower and the evolution of the city in our lifetime is nothing short of remarkable.

A testament to what can be achieved with a clear plan, determination and effort.

Very growth oriented - so you know it’s my kind of city.

In much the same way, I strive to continue to grow and evolve. If we encounter one another after several years, I hope you experience a better version of me.

More Christ-like, more loving, more knowledgeable, new experiences, new perspective, but fundamentally the same person to the core.

Until next time, Shanghai

Highlights from July’s trip to Barcelona.

This was my second time in Barcelona. My first visit was around the same time last year.

Usually when I travel to a new place I try to check out as many of the highlights as possible so that I don’t feel like I missed out on too many things.

Barcelona round 1 was different.

It’s not realistic to do everything in a new city with a finite amount of time, but that doesn’t stop me from trying lol. Last year I had an incredible time exploring and truly enjoying the city without being overly focused on checking things off of my list.

However, by the time I left I realized I’d missed several major landmarks and I knew I’d have to come back soon.

This time around I definitely got to check more things off of my list… but somehow I still left with the feeling that I need to come back soon.

I think that just means I love Barcelona. And paella. And croquetas.

Exploring some of the famous artistic landmarks like La Sagrada Família and Parc Guell made me reflect on how prosperity (however it is obtained 😅) provides an opportunity for creativity to flourish.

A wise man once said, “an artist respects the silence. It serves as the foundation for creativity.”

When you have the privilege to focus on things other than survival or subsistence, creativity can flourish. And I think this is another reason I love Barcelona.

Last year I feel like I was truly able to relax and be present while on vacation. It was the first time I feel like I started truly living and thriving and not just surviving.

So many reasons to love Barcelona. ‘Til next time

Hasta pronto

Here’s the current leg day workout for my push/pull/leg split.

I’ve definitely come a long way in terms of leg development, but I still have a ways to go.

I find leg gains to be slow and difficult which makes any bit of progress all the more rewarding.

At the moment I’m aiming to increase the size of my quads (especially outer) and eventually gain some vascularity.

The current program is a bit quad focused and mostly aimed at maintaining size while I focus on upper body and cutting for the summer. Next month I’ll be hitting them hard again so let me know your fav lifts.

What worked for you to grow your legs?

💪🏿 Hack squat machine 4x10 - challenging myself to push some weight but recently backed off on weight to get better depth

💪🏿 Seated calf burnout - I do this early in the lift while my legs still have some energy since I want to stimulate my calves to grow

💪🏿 Single leg hamstring curls 4x12

💪🏿 Single leg quad extensions 4x12

💪🏿 Adduction/abduction machine 4x20

Here’s the chest and bicep workout I’ve been doing for the past few months.

Recently, my emphasis has been on the upper and middle chest which are areas that I find are stubborn to respond.

Give this a try if you’re working on the same things.

💪🏿 Incline dumbell bench press 4x8

💪🏿 Machine flys 3x8

💪🏿 Seated underhand cable flys 4x10

💪🏿 Decline barbell bench press 3x10

💪🏿 Chest Press machine 3x10

💪🏿 Preacher curls 3x10

💪🏿 Hammer curls with cable 3x10

For those wondering why I pair chest with biceps, I got the tip from a friend back when the focus was on growing my arms.

Pairing them this way helps me to hit each part of the arm more frequently without adding an additional day of lifting.

I’ve enjoyed the change thus far and I also enjoy the post-workout chest and bicep pump together.

Give it a try!

What has helped you grow your middle and upper chest?
