April 29, 2021 08:48 - 28 minutes - 32.5 MB

Your why is what keeps you inspired, your goals are what exactly your moving toward so lets define them.   I'll admit, my first 2-3 years in the gym my goals, well, they didn't exist. Once I made very clear what my intentions were at the gym everything changed.   I began seeing results, and they correlated with what my goals were, aka what I wanted to move toward.   Check out my Website here!

32. Calculating your Macronutrients

March 23, 2021 07:38 - 31 minutes - 36.1 MB

Calculating macros is another thing that's far to often blown out of proportion.   What I mean is, it's complicated for no good reason, other than somebody wants to push their lifestyle views on to another.   You have vegans that push for a higher carbohydrate diet and you have keto advocates who push for a higher fat diet. I have the solution, why not eat both fats and carbs with your protein, because the body can process and utilize all 3!   If you'd like to read and visually see all...

31. Understanding Your Calorie Intake

March 18, 2021 07:51 - 25 minutes - 28.8 MB

28. Set the Example

March 09, 2021 09:31 - 10 minutes - 12.4 MB

Many issues that plague the modern world are within our control, but many do not wish to take charge of their own life, stand out and truly set the example.   I get it, I really do, I've been there. The issue is those who complain that they want to be different without doing the actual changes. That's why the world needs those who will set the example and look different regardless of what others say or do.   Check out my Website here!   Core & Mobility Routine Video Core & Mobility Ro...

25. 1 Step Back = 3 Steps Forward

February 25, 2021 08:41 - 21 minutes - 25.1 MB

It's inevitable. You're going to get stuck, you're going to hit plateaus, but what comes from that minor bump in the road is what really matters.   When we hit those pitfalls is when we have to double down, because we're close, close to a breakthrough! They often feel "uncomfortable" because we're out of our normal comfort zone, so it's natural, but you're going to come out of it stronger.   You can either stay the same, and fall back into your ways of overeating, not exercising, skippin...

24. Intermittent Fasting is MUCH MORE than a Fat Loss Tool

February 21, 2021 11:19 - 46 minutes - 53.6 MB

The benefits of fasting go far FAR beyond just a weight loss tool. While it can be very beneficial for losing weight, there's more than meet the eyes with this particular "fad."   Many claim fasting is merely skipping breakfast, that it's just a weight loss toll, and they're not wrong, but the benefits of fasting really can go far beyond this., so I decided to dig a little deeper.   Here's some other benefits I found!   1. Can increases Insulin sensitivity and decrease insulin resistan...

February 18, 2021 11:13 - 24 minutes - 28 MB

21.The BEST Pre-Workout Ingredients.

February 11, 2021 11:55 - 41 minutes - 47.9 MB

Pre-workouts are great, if they're using the right ingredients and dosing them properly at that!   The issue is, most companies DO NOT. They either put bare minimums or (unfortunately) even less.   It's really a shame because there's real science backing some supplement ingredients, but the companies really can give the whole industry a bad name.   I decided to dig into a little research and figure out which ingredients appeared to be the best based off this (the research) and my own p...

20. The Trickle Effect of Fitness

February 09, 2021 11:32 - 24 minutes - 28 MB

The trickle effect fitness can have on every other aspect of your life is REAL!   It's hard to recognize it all at the beginning because you're trying to figure out your training routine, understand what exercises you like, your style, your nutrition, etc.... and you look RIGHT BY everything your implementing.   The little things matter, there's a famous quote that I love and directly applies here.   "How you do anything is how you do everything." So when you begin your fitness journey...

What does Meditation mean? In the words of Dr. Joe Dispenza, "to know thyself" Meditation is a mind-body practice. A practice of concentrated focus to increase awareness of the present moment. Simply put, to be present!   Meditation is amazing, because it can help you discover in your heart and soul.

8. How to Maximize Your Muscle Growth

January 02, 2021 15:47 - 32 minutes - 37.5 MB

Muscle Hypertrophy is the technical term, or in simpler terms muscle growth or the enlargement of muscle fibers.   hi-per´tro-fe is how it's pronouced (If you want to be fancy like me)   There are 3 main ways in which our body will put on muscle size (through resistance training).   1. Mechanical Tensions - this is where the famous Progressive Overload will fall.   2. Metabolic Stress - this is the build up of metabolites in the muscle we're training (more or less "the pump")   3. ...

Resistance Training:The Benefits & Why Everybody Should Do it.

December 30, 2020 10:31 - 32 minutes - 37.1 MB

Everybody knows (or at least I believe it's common knowledge) that if you lift weights you begin to sculpt your body into what you want.   The thing a lot of people tend to miss is the fact that Resistance Training (acting tension and contracting your muscles through movements) is very beneficial for overall health, body control (posture control) and longevity.   It's something that everybody should do, especially if you want your body (more specifically your joints) to hold up the cours...

6. How Do You Feel the Mind Muscle Connection?

December 27, 2020 15:40 - 30 minutes - 34.4 MB

I am a FIRM believer that the Mind Muscle Connection is the most important aspect to your training and fitness journey.   This is due to my personal experiences (and experiences with clients) and that's because in these experiences results never came until a mind muscle connection was TRULY established.   What do I mean by truly established? Well, in order to establish this you need to feel the actual movements happening within the muscle, you cannot simply flail around in the gym.   Y...
