Here are the guidelines to follow when aiming to build muscle:

1. Resistance training: Resistance training or weight lifting, is the most effective way to build muscle mass. Focus on working out with compound movements that involve multiple muscles, like squats, deadlifts and bench press.

2. Increase weights and reps: Increase the intensity of your workouts by either increasing the weights or performing more reps as your muscles adapt and get stronger.

3. Rest and recovery: Allow your muscles to rest and recover by alternating muscle groups on different days to avoid overuse and injury.

4. Focus on Nutrition: Proper nutrition is essential when building muscle. Eating enough protein to provide your body with the amino acids the body required for muscle building and recovery, while carbohydrates and fats provides energy for high-intensity exercise and training.

5. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to avoid muscle cramps and dehydration, especially during intense workouts.

6. Consistency: Consistency is key to seeing progress in muscle-building. Commit to a regular workout routine and stick to it over an extended period to achieve your desired results.

It’s important to remember that building muscle takes time and consistent effort. By incorporating these tips, you can start to build muscle mass, achieve your fitness goals and improve your overall health.

Knees over toes is just a position or movement. This position/movement should not be ostracized. If anything, it should be trained to build a tolerance to not just everyday activities like going up/downstairs, but also to bulletproof your knees to handle anything life throws at them!

34 today. 🎂

Time has truly flown by, but the memories, lessons, and moments shared with the people I love will stay with me forever. Over the years, I’ve watched seasons change, people come and go, and life continue to shape me into the man I am today. Some losses still sit heavy on my heart — especially my grandpa. His wisdom, strength, and the values he instilled in me will live through me forever.

To my family, friends, loved ones, and everyone who has crossed paths with me in a meaningful way — thank you. Every conversation, every lesson, every challenge, every laugh, and every moment of support has helped mold my journey. Some of you taught me loyalty, some taught me resilience, and others taught me the importance of growth, love, and appreciating the present moment.

I’m entering 34 with gratitude, ambition, and a hunger for even more life. There are still so many milestones ahead, so many goals to accomplish, and so many memories left to create. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, but even more excited for where I’m going.

Here’s to continuing to grow, evolve, love deeper, work harder, and cherish the people around me while we still can. Life is short, and every moment matters.

Thank you all for being part of my story. The journey continues. 🖤🙏🏽

Failure is the only way to improve 😤
Climbing back to 10 reps with the 115s — got 6 today 🔐 Strength finally coming back post prep 🧌

Can’t wait to grow, cut back down, and do it all over again.

Been a little quiet lately—but don’t get it twisted, the work never stopped.

Currently sitting at 212 and still climbing. This offseason isn’t about being seen, it’s about building something undeniable. Every rep, every meal, every day stacking toward a bigger, sharper package.

More size is coming before August… and if everything lines up, we’re stepping back on stage December 14 at Excalibur.

No noise. Just progress.
