How can you find your lats? 

John Meadows knew the secret and it was the banded rack pull dead lift. 

Focus on bringing those shoulder blades down, arms back and squeezing the lats through the entire movement. 

If I knew this years ago my deadlift would be twice as strong! 

Try this out.

This Chest Finisher will humble you. 

This finisher has been introduced by my coach and now my chest days will never be free of this super set.

And it is Super. 

The pump you get from this is diabolical. 

Keep the intensity way up, up to your maximum. 

It should be a brutal battle to hit the suggested reps listed above. 

This was my 3rd round and it absolutely gassed me. 

UP THE ANTE ON CHEST DAY

Plus I had my biggest fan cheering me on to push me past my limit. 

She is ruthless.

To all the Gym bros and Gals over the years 

The sessions we have had made me into the man I am today! 

I miss the days training with you,

I am looking forward until we can lift together again. 

In the mean time...

Remember who you are!

Keep bringing that same energy you had in our sessions!

Tag your gym bro!

Matthew 7:13-14

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

The road that is less travelled will yield a destination worth the effort and struggle. 

Never give up!

Who are your role models?? 

I don't idolize characters or people 

But I do have characters or people in my life who inspire me to be a better person. 

I grew up learning about The Marines, Gaming Gears of war and Halo with my brother and watching FMA with my sister.

All the people and characters who I look up to all have qualities that I want to embody. 

Who do you look to for inspiration when you are on the beaten path? 

Love you all!

Eating less but moving more?? 

How can this be?? 

Be smart with what you are putting in your diet. 
I have been feeling so much better in all my lifts with a more rigid diet than when I was eating whatever I wanted. 

What is important to you??

86 days out from competition day

"This is my command - be strong and courageous! Do not br afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 

No matter what lies ahead, you must not falter! 

Energy has been good these last few days. 

High carb days are a treat. 

Still so much time to work towards greatness

93 days out

Yesterday's Leg day was a battle...but despite the odds I still managed to get a new PR for Bulgarians. 

Diabolical. 

115 lbs in each hand.

93 Days Out...

Carbs have been something I have taken for granted! The amount of energy they give you even when you are monitoring the intake is incredibly noticeable. 

If you are feeling lethargic, irritable, tired...you might just need to have an apple! Carbs do wonders. 

Actually dialing in my level of carbohydrates I consume daily is very noticeable and is a challenge. 

Yesterday was an absolute struggle.... I also attribute that to my poor sleep last night. 

I will be discussing the importance of sleep and how it can help you achieve your fitness goals in the future.
