Tried to keep it 10 frames.

Lately, I’ve been enjoying the journey of documenting; especially athletes. Their dedication, mental toughness, and work ethic to achieve their goals serve as inspiration.

Shouts to my man’s 100 grand @alectellez13 for having me on board, as he gets these gentlemen right for the upcoming season.

I don’t talk a lot about my own training, but the past six months taught me something important about fat loss and body composition.

It started with less-than-favorable bloodwork results.

I was also the heaviest I had been since competing in weightlifting.

I didn’t look bad—I was big, strong, and benching 100 pounds more than I weighed. But I was carrying extra fat around my midsection, and I clearly wasn’t as healthy as I thought.

So, I tightened up my diet and committed to giving it six months.

At first, the weight and fat came off quickly. Then I hit a hard stall.

Because I was eating fewer calories, I started pulling back my training intensity. I focused on maintaining strength and muscle instead of deliberately training for muscle growth.

That approach wasn’t working.

The biggest lesson from this process was that every major drop in my body-fat percentage happened after I shifted my training toward intentionally building muscle.

Not just maintaining it. Actively trying to grow it.

Every time I trained hard, added a new stimulus, and deliberately pursued hypertrophy, my fat loss took off again. When I stopped giving my body a reason to build muscle, my progress slowed—and I even began losing muscle mass.

That realization unlocked the next level for me.

When you’re in a calorie deficit, it’s easy to tell yourself that you don’t have enough fuel to train hard. But a cut isn’t the time to stop pursuing muscle growth. Your training still needs to be intentional, challenging, and progressive.

My biggest takeaway: train to build muscle while you lose fat.

Don’t restrict too aggressively, and don’t give up when progress slows. A plateau may simply mean your training needs to shift and provide a new stimulus.

I didn’t do anything special. I followed my nutrition plan, cut out beer, trained hard, and stayed consistent.

If you want to lose fat, improve your body composition, and build or maintain muscle along the way, send me a DM. Let’s talk about working together.

Personal best on my squat today. I’ve been consistent with @sslryan ‘s Squat Programming for the past 8 weeks and just finished its intermediate phase.

4 weeks ago I hit 210, so to leave today at 220 is a huge win for me. About a year ago I hit 215, but at the time I was 10 lbs heavier so I’m super stoked about this progress. Only up from here!!

TLDR 🤓

Recovery isn’t a passive thing you do after training.

Recovery is part of the training.

You don’t get stronger because you trained hard.

You get stronger because your body had enough resources and rest to adapt to the training stimulus.

And sometimes the most productive thing you can do for your fitness is…less. 🌸⚡️
