The emotional rollercoaster of being a Knicks fan, residing in New York, and living for moments like this.

Nothing unifies quite like sports. Nothing compares to the city of New York.

It really happened.🧡🏆💙

Holy shit.

A gym session with a buddy is always a GREAT option. 🔥

We push each other, coach each other, and listen to each other. 🧠

A whole lotta posterior chain work today. 📈

...all while making all the faces. 😵‍💫☺️🥴😜🥵

In all honesty, I think I am the only one making faces.

Melissa somehow manages to keep her poker face on. 😐

Watch how I limit ROM in some of those last reps bc it’s getting way more challenging. 😬

It’s an honor to have met you here in Siargao.
I’m genuinely happy whenever I get to talk to fellow bodybuilders—especially women.

First of all, bodybuilding is not easy.
That’s why only people like us truly understand what we go through.

If you ever need my help, don’t hesitate to ask me.

Our conversation may have been short, but I hope it was enough to somehow help you.

Good luck with your upcoming competition. 🙏

Remember:
Just pray and trust the process. 💯
