So one day I post scripture the next I post a Pec bounce! What’s up?
I spent most of my life embarrassed to take my shirt off. Not that I was in bad shape. I had a dad bod that was in moderate shape but I felt so insecure in myself, my masculinity and my body I could rarely be seen in public with my shirt off.
This insecurity was a product of my childhood and my misplaced identity.
I lived my life comparing myself to others. Every aspect of my life was a comparison. It was exhausting.
In 2011 at 49 years old I entered a physique contest from the Adonis Index. Losing 25lbs of body fat over a 6 month time period changed my life.
Oh I still was fighting comparison, and still do somewhat today, but I found a body underneath that fat that I had been building since college but couldn’t see it. I came in second place!
Over the next ten years, I learned more about training, eating and grew more in my relationship with Jesus.
He changed me. He shaped my identity to be based in Him and not the mirror or Instagram.
So why the mixed posts? Because I try not to take myself too seriously. I love to encourage people. As I’ve said before, I’m no special flower and I’m sure not a genetic marvel. If I can get in shape, get healthy and maintain it, you can too!
I love working out! I love health! I love scripture! I love marriage! I love families! And most important I love Jesus!
Even through a Pec bounce, being happy in Jesus means everything and if I can make you smile and encourage your day, that makes me happy too.

So you think I look good? Thankyou!
Ong I swear most of it is because I know to pose my body 😅.
Body builders usually have an actual posing routine that they practice!!
Posing can definitely aid in muscle awareness which may also help with muscle mind connection (pretty important).
This particular pose honestly just kinda felt natural and then the more I did it, the more I figured out how to adjust my body. Other poses I don’t like doing/don’t feel natural (like trap flexing or lat spread), I practice and slooowly am able to get.
Do you practice posing?
