Hearing things like “Bro go pick up a fork” or “Man you need a sandwich” started to get old. I had been skinny my entire life, especially during my years playing competitive tennis where I was training constantly and burning an insane amount of calories every day. Between hours on the court, conditioning, lifting, and tournaments, it felt like I had to eat nonstop just to maintain my weight, and putting on muscle seemed nearly impossible.

Instead of feeling bad about myself and letting others dictate how I felt, I decided to do something about it. I started going to the gym and eating as much as I humanly could day in and day out. I didn’t know exactly what I was doing, but I knew if I ate and lifted heavy, something would eventually happen.

Over the next 4+ years I transformed my body, going from 135lbs to 205lbs while staying around the same body fat I had when I was at my skinniest.

While the physical changes are great and I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, the real win and what I’m most proud of is what happened in my mindset.

You can’t buy a physique. You only reach your desired look through sheer determination, consistency, and discipline. You have to be willing to go to the gym when you’re tired and eat meals you REALLY do not want to eat.

Through this process I became a better man, husband, and overall person because of the lessons I’ve learned along the way. The gym completely changed my life.

Now part of my mission is to bring fitness challenges to people everywhere, showcasing the achievements of everyday people pushing themselves to see what they’re capable of. When someone sees another person step up and do something hard, it makes them believe they can do it too.

My mission and my why now is to inspire even just one person to believe in what’s possible when you refuse to quit.

No matter what you look like or how you feel today, you have the power to choose a path that can change everything in your life.

Make that choice today, and don’t give up. 😤💪 taken in Utah by @theofficialpushupguy

What a weekend!

Following one of the 🐐’s @jasondayofficial at the Bank of Utah championship this past weekend, I decided to do 20 pushups in a row for every shot he took. Yes, that includes putts as well (thank you for only 3 putting a couple times Jason!💪)

Over 3 rounds, I cranked out 4,080 pushups, averaging 1,300+ a day while walking across the course trying to keep up with them. Had a chance to meet Jason, (insanely nice guy) and he told me that it was the craziest thing a fan has ever done for him. (I’ll take it as a compliment😂)

A lot of people have asked me why I did it and kept doing it after each round, well I’ll tell ya. If you know me, you know that I had a pretty big physical transformation, and it completely changed my life. Since then I always look to help support / motivate others in their health journeys whatever that may look like. Well, after the day doing this, I realized that I could use this challenge to not only to show what’s possible when you push your limits, (I didn’t even know if I could do it myself) but to more importantly inspire others to get out and move, challenge themselves, and have a great time doing it. Fitness isn’t a chore or punishment… it’s power.

If I can inspire or motivate just 1 person, then I’ve completed my goal. 💪

Big thanks to @lifecider_ for fueling me with the best and healthiest energy drink out there, Life Cider X. Literally would have crashed half way if it wasn't for those." Also to @bouchampionship for your support and a great tournament. @blackdesertresort for the amazing course, and @jasondayofficial and @reardon.luke for being mates about it. This was a very unique thing that no one has ever done at a @pgatour event and it would have been easy to get annoyed. Appreciate you both. 💪

This is just the beginning, stay tuned for what’s next!!

2,780 push-ups complete following the man himself, Tony Finau!

Had an amazing time following Tony during his 2 rounds at the Bank of Utah Championship. Getting to meet his wonderful family, and having some of them join in doing some pushups for their dad, was so awesome.

Tony and his awesome wife Alayna ran into me after the round and I got to visit with them for a few minutes before they headed out for the day. Such great people! No one else I would have wanted to do almost 3k pushups for!

I’ll hope to get the chance to do this for Tony again in some way!
