How to uncomplicate building muscle in 3 steps:

1.) Train with intent, not just to “hit a rep range”.
Stop just trying to get to just get 10 reps or 12 reps, especially when the intensity behind those reps is non existent. Every time you do a set the thing that should be going through your mind is “how far can I push myself” not “I hope I get to 10 reps”.

2.) Starving yourself before and after your workout is literally leaving gains on the table. You should be well fed before your workouts, and after them with the majority coming from solid carb and protein sources. More food = more energy to train harder.

3.) You CAN sacrifice the “perfect split” for something a little more enjoyable. Some of the stuff I do isn’t always the most optimal for that day/split. But because I enjoy it, Im more consistent, I pus myself more, and I see better results.

DM if you’re ready to get a program that actually works the way you want it to.

Real growth happens when the pain of staying the same is GREATER than the pain of changing.

Change is never easy.

But it’s not supposed to.

If change was easy, I would be out of a job.

And if it was as simple as you thought I was, then the results and growth you want, wouldn’t be as important or valuable.

If you could find gold walking down the street like it was gravel, then it wouldn’t be as valuable as everyone makes it out to be.

My point is, change isn’t supposed to be easy. That would take away the point of fitness.

But it will always be worth it.

Be proud of yourself for changing.

If fitness/working out has become like a chore to you, you’re doing it wrong.

If you have to keep relying on motivation or just straight discipline every time you step in the building, you’re doing it wrong.

I get it, some days the gym is the LAST place you want to spend your time, and on those days yes, you need to suck it up and go. But most of the time, the gym should be a place you are excited to go to.

It’s as simple as this: The more fun/enjoyable something is, the more likely you are to do it.

No one has to force you to watch your favorite tv show, nor does it feel like a chore.

The gym should feel almost as good as watching your favorite show.

You’re becoming a new person, changing hold habits, and transforming your life just by stepping into a building.

Morale of the story is yes, discipline is needed sometimes, but if you ENJOY the gym you don’t need discipline.

Transforming your physique from where it is now, to where you want to be can be hard.

Yes there are “tips and tricks” that can help quicken the process and make it easier/simpler, there’s no such thing as a shortcut to getting your dream physique.

It will ALWAYS take time, dedication, consistency, and the ability to say no to yourself more times than saying yes.

But those who have done the work and gotten to where they want to be, will tell you that it will always be worth it in the end.

Not just because they’re getting closer to the body they want, but because the lessons and skills you gain will stick with you forever.

Take Andrew for example. When we first started, he has been in and out of the gym for a large portion of his life. Starting his fitness journey during COVID, him and his dad both lost a ton of weight while staying home.

Fast forward a few years later, he put everything back in and then some.

When he first came to me, he didn’t believe the gym would be a place he looked forward to going to.

But in just over 20 weeks, Andrew has not only lost roughly 27lbs and counting, but he’s also put on some high quality muscle mass in the process.

Although we are far from reaching our end goal, we’re getting closer every day and that’s what matters.

DM me the word “READY” and we’ll see if we can help you get your own transformation!

Being hungry and having intense cravings is something a ton of people struggle with when trying to lose weight.

It’s 100% a normal thing to feel hungry and seeking dopamine from food. If anything, I would say your abnormal if you don’t have any cravings whatsoever.

If your cravings keep getting the better of you when trying to lose weight, maybe something above can help you out.

Losing weight is simple…

You need to be in a prolonged calorie deficit, either through expending more, or through eating fewer calories, preferably a mix of both.

You don’t need to eat one specific food group, or do a secret “fat burning” exercise, and you DEFINITELY don’t have to drink a cocktail of fat burners or special supps every day to see consistent weight-loss.

The problem is people mistake simple for easy.

Weight-loss is not easy. There will be difficulties every step of the way, from the start to the end.

But we can make it easier.
✅Set a routine around your lifestyle.
✅Create a diet around foods you enjoy and ✅consume regularly.
✅Stay consistent with training.
✅Train your ass off in the gym.

Weight-loss isn’t easy but it is simple. Stick to the plan.

🔥DM me if you’re ready to get your fat-loss or muscle growth journey started!!

Adjusted my training this week. Realized I’m unable to efficiently recover as best as I want to from the current split I was doing.

Took a step back, looked at my training OBJECTIVELY, and decided to switch up some of my exercises alongside with some volume and frequency.

As much as I look forward to the gym, and would love to be able to train everyday, from an efficiency standpoint, I can’t.

You need to do the same with your training.

Try to be as objective as you possibly can, look at your training and nutrition as is you are trying to maximize every variable you can.

If you actually want to grow and reach your goals…

Put your feelings aside and get to work.

If you’re looking for someone to take away the guesswork from your training & nutrition and finally want results…

Shoot me a DM!!
