Back in freshman year of college, I experienced my first real break up and had a taste of life’s heartache…

A neighbor at the time, who happened to be a personal trainer, noticed I was having a hard time with the break up and invited me to workout at the gym…

I was instantly hooked! Being fresh off a break up felt like high octane race fuel for the gains!

Naively, I wanted to build muscle to be more attractive for the ladies but it quickly became a pursuit to become the biggest and strongest version of myself for me…

Eat big to get big was the MO I lived by and bodybuilders were my inspiration in the beginning…

I walked into the gym at 145 lbs with work boots on and in six months, built myself to 185 lbs…

I was 18 at the time and went from eating maybe once a day to eating four to five times a day and grew quickly…

Squatting, benching and deadlifting have always been part of the program but it wasn’t until I discovered powerlifting competitively that was I truly able to understand how to manipulate my bodyweight and strength…

Mastering control over my body helped me gain a sense of control over myself in my life…

However, just like any sport done at a high-level, it comes with its risks and rewards, and in the case of powerlifting, injuries can be a rep around the corner…

I’ve grown as big as 253 lbs but with a string of injuries, fell back to 186 lbs…

The frustration and pain was there for sure, however, what was also there during those times was the knowledge I gained for rehabilitation and structure to get back to 240 cleaner and stronger than before…

I opened my first gym nearly 10 years ago and this year marks 21 years of lifting weights and helping hundreds of achieve their health and fitness goals…

I have been the skinny guy in the room and I also have been the big guy in the gym with the eating habits that would shame a hippo…

Through the highs and the lows, I’ve learned to strike a balance through my “Taylored Method” that has helped me and all of my clients I’ve worked with over the years…

21 years and I feel like I’m just getting started!

Excited for the next chapter! by @margatebarbell

After outside circuit training shenanigans, Vinny pressed a 260+ yoke just for fun, so naturally Ryan had to try it. Boys will be boys!

Be intentional when trying to isolate and target specific muscles or muscles groups. A cue that has always been effective for me is knowing that the first thing to move is the first thing to get loaded

If you’re struggling to feel the intended stimulus or be in the proper positions for any lift come check us out. We offer free (scheduled) no obligation assessments and an open gym every Saturday from 7am -11am.
