HOW I GOT HERE

This isn’t a highlight reel.
There were years where nothing worked.�Years of confusion.�Years of starting over.
What saved me wasn’t motivation.�It was choosing — even on my worst days — not to abandon myself.
One decision at a time.�One standard at a time.
If this resonates, you’re not alone.�This next chapter is about becoming someone you can trust.

If you vibe with this, give me a follow so I can support you as we both grow on our own journeys.

🦵 LEG DAY BREAKDOWN
1️⃣ Pendulum Squats – Build overall leg mass and strength by hitting quads, glutes, and adductors through a deep, stable range of motion. ➡️ Placed first to maximize power output while you’re fresh.

2️⃣ Hip Thrusts – Target and isolate the glutes for maximal contraction and strength. ➡️ Second because glutes are best trained after heavy compound work for optimal activation.

3️⃣ Leg Extensions – Focus on quad isolation and controlled tension at full knee extension.
➡️ Third to pre-exhaust and shape the quads with lighter, controlled loads.

4️⃣ Hamstring Curls – Balance the quad-dominant work by strengthening the posterior chain.
➡️ Fourth to create joint stability and symmetry across the knee and hip.

5️⃣ Calf Raises – Develop lower leg strength and proportion for complete leg aesthetics. ➡️ Last since they require less systemic fatigue and cap off the workout.

⚙️ Training Variables
* Tempo: Quick, powerful bursts on the concentric — slow, controlled on the eccentric.
* Rest Periods: 2–4 min for compounds, 60–90 sec for isolations.
* Reps & Load: 6–8 for strength, 12–15 for hypertrophy, 20+ for calves.
* Progressive Overload: Gradual weekly increase in reps or resistance.
* Mind–Muscle Connection: Maximum control, full range, peak contraction.

💥 Discipline builds the body. Intensity shapes the result.

PREP: 6 WEEKS OUT

UPDATE: this has definitely been the easiest prep out of my body building career

WHY? Believe it’s just become muscle memory at this point allowing me to further iron out all the small kinks to come in with the best package I possibly can

Bodybuilding is definitely an investment in many ways: time, discipline, money, and more…

The reason why I keep going isn’t because of going pro, winning money, prizes, etc…

It has allowed me to become more structured in my life, leading me to becoming more successful, but more importantly, happier, healthier, and able to help/give back to others

Relentless Consistency

Whether you’ve been following my bodybuilding journey or not, I’m excited to share that I’m now entering my fourth year and will be competing in my first Cali show in LA on July 13th.

Over these four years, I’ve fallen more in love with the process itself, shifting my focus away from just the outcome. I’ve been working out and meal prepping since I was 16, and now at 33, I’m still striving to improve my physique.

Throughout this journey, I’ve learned that consistency is key. Every setback has been an opportunity to grow stronger, both physically and mentally. The dedication to my training and nutrition has instilled in me a sense of discipline that transcends the gym, impacting all areas of my life.

This experience has taught me an invaluable lesson: discipline. It’s not just about achieving a certain look; it’s about pushing your limits, setting new goals, and never settling for less than your best.

Most importantly, the support from family, friends, the community, and the friendships I’ve made along the way have also been incredibly rewarding, reminding me that this journey is as much about connection and support as it is about personal growth.

🍕 Attention Pizza Enthusiasts! 🍕

Are you under the misconception that ditching pizza is the key to shedding pounds and sticking to a healthy lifestyle?

Think again! In my upcoming cookbook, I’ve curated a selection of delectable, nutritious pizza recipes that will redefine your relationship with this beloved dish.

As an Italian, banishing pizza from my life was simply inconceivable. I made it my mission to transform this indulgence into a wholesome delight through meticulous research, dedication, and strategic planning.

Remember, with unwavering belief, anything is achievable!

Who’s eagerly anticipating the release of my cookbook?

Furthermore, I’m seeking assistance in promoting and catapulting this project to new heights. If you know anyone who can lend their expertise in marketing, kindly direct them my way!

Thank you, and may your day be filled with delicious delights!

For most of you that have known me for my whole life, I’ve always believed in myself and that will never stop because it’s been one of the most important things pushing me forward in life.

However, recently I’ve accepted God into my life and I have to thank Rachel Lehman for showing me the way. For the longest time I’ve felt like I’ve had so much weight on my shoulders (shoulder days will stay like this hah). When my brother passed away I told myself I’m going to be working hard AF for the both of us. To make our family, friends, and loved ones proud.
I’m not saying he’s the weight but life itself packs it on and I’ve chosen to choose many paths through passion. We have one life and I’m not trying to waste any of it and doing all the things I love…but with these choices I’ve also agreed to taking on the bad/good that comes with them.

Now I’m going to be a little vulnerable, I’ve struggled with separation anxiety my whole life and it stems from my trauma of losing my brother. I’ve been aware of this, I’ve worked hard on this, I’m still growing through this, and learning how to overcome it.
Bringing God into my life with the combined support of believing in myself, my family, friends, and loved ones…I’ve started to heal from this.

I hope you all know, like Jesus, I’d die for you. No one life is more important than another. We’re all human and we all share this planet. So let’s connect with each other rather than disconnect and instead of getting upset with someone because of a misunderstanding, we all have to take the time TO understand. Communication and love conquers all.

Much love to you all and please reach out if you need help or someone to talk to. I’m here for you.

Closure

Wrapping up this solid week with a grueling back day

Honestly, I have empathy for people that struggle with consistency because trust me, I get it

I know working out and eating tailored meals to oneself isn’t always top of mind

Also a lot of us have limiting beliefs about ourselves in many ways

However, I’m always here to help anyone that wants it so…

I want you guys to know that the first and most important thing to becoming consistent with anything starts with awareness of oneself

Once you become aware, you can then start to manifest what you truly want through reflection

As you gain clarity, you’ll be able to identify the steps you will need to take to create consistency in the things you want to achieve

Consistency comes from relentlessly doing the things you want to get better at, over and over and over again…correctly, this takes time (they call it perfect practice but doesn’t mean you have to be perfect because none of us are)

Realize that it becomes a habit and once it becomes a habit, you can then see progression

To conclude this, understand that if you want to be successful in something, you have to become that something and believe it
