🤯 Being perfect is a recipe for disaster. One of the first things I ask of my clients is my clients is to stop trying to be perfect.

Your health and fitness is a hell of a journey, with plenty of ups and plenty of downs.

😮 My clients slowly begin to realize missing a workout or eating pizza doesn’t erase months of progress. They get back on track instead of falling into the “I’ll start Monday” trap.

📲 They reach out instead of isolating. Text me. Vent. (depends how much 😂) Ask for a plan tweak.

You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through it — you’re not supposed to.

🤔 I ask them to zoom out.
We look at the big picture: Are you stronger than last month? Sleeping better? Less winded chasing your kid?

THAT is progress — not just the number on the scale.

👍 Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human. Keep going.

Or if you want a coach in your corner, you know where to find me. 💪

🧠 ANTI-ORDINARY WORKOUT INCOMING 🔥

Most people train in straight lines.

But life—and real strength—happens in angles.

Today’s spicy combo:

1️⃣ The Hack Deadlift – Flex and teach your spine to handle load safely from unorthodox positions.

2️⃣ Behind-the-Back Military Press – shred those shoulders, challenge thoracic extension, and wake up neglected stabilizers.

These aren’t circus tricks.

They’re strategic stressors—because joints that never explore don’t evolve.

📌 Tap into longevity, resilience, and real-world strength.

💪 Your body was built for more than front-facing reps. Let’s train like it.

“Why am I not seeing results?” 😭

Because you’ve started 4 different programs in the last 3 weeks. 🫠

❌ Why You Keep Program Hopping:

1. You’re impatient. You want 6-week abs in 6 days. Reality check: you’re not microwave popcorn.

2. Shiny Object Syndrome.
You saw a new “fat-melting” routine on IG. Must be better, right? (It’s not.)

3. You’re bored. Reps feel repetitive…that’s how progress works.

4. You don’t trust the plan.
Spoiler: It’s not the plan—it’s the lack of sticking to it.

5. No clear goal. If you don’t know what you’re chasing, every new workout looks like “the one.”

✅ How to Fix It:

🔥 Pick a solid plan. One built on actual training principles, not TikTok trends.

🧠 Stick with it for 4-6weeks.
Muscles don’t grow in chaos. Give your body time to work its magic.

📊 Track something.
Strength, consistency, how you feel, how your jeans fit—not just the scale.

🎯 Train for mastery.
Biceps and buttd grow when they’re challenged, not when they’re constantly confused.

Bottom line…
Your body needs consistency, not constant novelty.

Results come from doing the boring stuff really well.

if you need support creating workout routine routines that will provide minimal boredom and a strong dose of consistency, shoot me a message and let’s chat. 👊

Now go lift something heavy… and then do it again next week 💪

Do I enjoy being sore after workouts?

Yea, I do at times.

Does your workout soreness solely equate to “that must have been a GREAT workout!”

Absolutely not.

Soreness is NOT a marker for muscle growth and fat loss.

To grow and change the tissues is your body (hypertrophy), other factors come into play…

👍Progressive overload, nutrition, sleep, tempo and overall tension.

👎NOT whether your legs kill you for days while you try to sit on the toilet and poop.

You can be sore and make zero progress.

You can lose weight and get stronger week after week, and have minimal soreness.

Don’t give into the mythical psychological crap.

Smile when you’re sore and smile when you’re not. 💪😅💪

Too many of you are missing out on nutrient dense proteins! 🥩🍗

Protein shakes, beef jerkey, plain chicken breasts, smoothie, yogurt, string cheese, a handful of nuts.

Sound familiar?

It’s time to up your protein game and start incorporating protein that actually keeps you satiated, delivers essential vitamins and nutrients, while keeping your waistline slim.

Lamb is often overlooked. 🐑

Lamb is very nutrient dense and my BBQed lamb burgers will keep your energy up and your scale number down.

Ingredients:
-1lb Grass Fed Lamb (Sprouts)
-Salt
-Pepper
-Cumin
-Rosemary
-A hint of Thyme
*Big pinch of each

You can enjoy satisfying meals that fuel your body and goals…ones that you actually look forward to eating.

A bit of ingredient creativity is sometimes all that you need.

Follow me if you’re wanting to eat clean with a touch more creativity.

Have you ever noticed that you talk to yourself?

We all do it everyday.

What you say to yourself on a daily basis sets the tone for your day, shifts your attitude, and can boost your self esteem.

Start paying attention to your internal dialogue and allow yourself to make quick thoughtful changes as the negative bullshit arises.

What’s one thing you’ve been telling yourself lately? 🤔
