Most of the time nowadays I train solo but for most of my younger years I trained with a workout partner. @t3rocka and i trained for a consistent 7 years every single workout when I won the Illinois state, got my pro card, and did my pro debut. Some of my best memories in bodybuilding. Now when we train it’s like we never stopped. We feed off each other’s intensity, we know exactly how to spot each other, and honestly it’s just a lot of fun.

Tommy is the type of guy that’s just bat shit crazy enough to do literally anything and also knows how to unlock that next level in me. Everything you want in a good workout partner! Got some good ones in this week I appreciate you bro 💪

The best workouts I’ve had were not ‘science based’ - they were based on training with intensity and doing what felt best that day. Several times I’ve been sucked down the rabbit hole of trying to have the ‘perfect workouts’ but for me that never worked and was boring. I start my workouts with direction and some type of plan sure, but the more I let my instincts take over and focus on what feels right in that moment, the better my workouts are and the better my results are. Some days you feel stronger, some days you can do more, some days you do what you can and get in and out. Bodybuilding will always be driven by passion and those that have it get it. There are some that have results ‘following the science’ but I’ll take someone with passion over someone with the perfect plan on paper any day

If you compete you’ve gone thru phases of prep where ur brain doesn’t work quite right 😅.

So I thought it’d be fun to list my top 5 disasters (I’m sure @jessicakouba will chime in on a few extra lol) and would love to hear your top 1 or 2! Most of mine are epic spills and since I’m a neat freak these drive me crazy.

1. This one just happened so figured I’d start with it - I just got done training and had a huge shaker bottle of water, ice, Aminocore, creatine, glutamine… before I could even put the lid on, I knocked it over. Spilling a drink not so bad usually - but I am old school and use a very detailed paper calendar and it soaked/destroyed that. The powder wasn’t mixed yet so that was everywhere in addition to the liquid, it got inside cabinets, on the floor, temporarily stained the white counters.
2. My first prep EVER in 2004 I went to my old high school for a football game. I walk into the stadium eating my meal out of a container and this girl runs up to me to give me a hug and knocks my food all over the ground. I had only eaten 2-3 bites so I immediately left, didn’t watch a second of the game, went home, and re-made the meal
3. You know those zero calorie flavored syrups that come in GLASS bottles? Imagine having about 5 of those come crashing down when a shelf breaks 😭 glass and sticky syrup everywhere
4. I used to eat on my drive to work - so i would carry my bowl of oatmeal and eggs down a flight of stairs to get to the garage. In glass bowls. Well once the eggs, oatmeal, and glass tumbled down the stairway shattering and getting everywhere. Obviously i cancelled my client and re made my meal.
5. I’m gonna lump a few into this one cause anytime you drop a full container of powder, it’s a brutal clean up and gets in all the crevices. The worst is dropping a container of cytogreens (gosh that took forever). But I’ve also dumped a container of salt, raw cocoa powder, and I’m pretty sure ALL the old school guys have shaken up 3 scoops of NO-Xplode on the way to the gym and it exploded all over their car and clothes 😅😂

I believe in treating ur off season like you do contest prep BUT I also believe you need to find another gear when you get to contest prep. 18 weeks out and it’s time to take it up a notch! This is when it gets fun 💪 @teamallmax #teamallmax @t3rocka

I was truly overwhelmed by everyone that came out to the show yesterday 🙏 95% of these people would never have interest in going to a bodybuilding show but they they love me and so they wouldn’t miss it for anything. Big thanks also to my mother and father-in-law for organizing a post show party at their house with my favorite foods and allllll the desserts 😋 and of course none of any of this or any of the good things that happen in my life would happen if it weren’t for the real MVP @jessicakouba 😘 #teamkouba

I was so pissed when I showed up to the ‘upgraded’ @xsportfitness darien location today. I was told and promised that all the equipment would be moving over. But instead - all the equipment I loved, all the stuff I used to win the Illinois State and earn my pro card, every single piece I planned to use today / was GONE. Before they moved, I even offered to buy it. But right at the end of my workout, my guy that pushed me to be my best for years at that same gym with all the same equipment shows up with a big ass smile who I haven’t seen it prob 2 years - @t3rocka . This guy ALWAYS brought the energy and intensity, showed up whether they’d was a snowstorm or it was Christmas Day, and always believed in me. So good to see you today brother!! Let’s get one in sometime soon!!

Each show I do is another step towards my ultimate vision. I’ve had many mentors - people that inspire me - people I continue to learn from - and many that give love and support. So many have played a part in my journey and I’m so thankful for that. Every show I’ve done I walk out onto that stage knowing I’ve given my all - and the next time out I find a way to dig a little deeper. To me THAT is what makes this so rewarding. Bringing everything I got to California this weekend and couldn’t do it without my wife @jessicakouba, my coach @therealtechnician, and the best sponsors @teamallmax & @freshbasile I could ask for - Thank you 🙏 #bodybuilding #family #love #thankyou @calliee29 @brentswansen @chasesavoie @mattjansen8 @zlb88 @ifbbpro_nicklund @suleose @elhefeb4g @brickhausapparel

Here’s a few photos from yesterday! 7th place at the @ifbbindypro! People often ask what my goal is. Why I stay so disciplined. Why I work so hard. When will I be satisfied and reach that ‘end goal’. Some assume it’s for money or attention - at the very least the goal must be to win. They assume dieting and preparing for a show is miserable and so much sacrifice is made. The truth is I love bodybuilding and everything about it. I love the challenge, the discipline. I’d be doing this if I lived in a dungeon underground where nobody saw me. There’s times that are challenging but pushing thru those makes me feel accomplished and alive. I want to win but I also want to compete with the best in the world - There will always be something to improve and I will continue to chase that vision until the damn wheels fall off. Thankful to do what I love and enjoy some time with family and friends after the show. Thanks for all the messages and I’ll respond to all after I take a day to relax with my wife @jessicakouba! #teamallmax #bodybuilding #ifbb #indypro
