Sh*te vs Right 👌🏻

If your hips are sagging on push-ups… congrats, you’re training your ego, not your chest.

When your hips drop back:
❌ You lose tension
❌ You shorten the range
❌ You stop progressing

Do it right:
👉 Knees down? Hips stay forward
👉 Full push-up? Hips stay in line with your spine
This keeps your body tight, hits the chest properly, and gives you more range of motion so you actually build strength—not just sweat.

Train smarter. Not sloppier.

Follow for simple training tips that actually work 👌🏻

Carbohydrates simplified 👌🏻

It’s 2026.

We can officially retire the “carbs make you fat” myth.

Carbs are fuel.

The problem isn’t carbs — it’s how and when you use them.

Step 1: Build your base (80%)
Whole, slow-digesting carbs should make up most of your intake:
• Oats
• Sweet potatoes
• Fruits
• Vegetables
These keep energy steady, hunger controlled, and workouts consistent.

Step 2: Use fast carbs with intent (20%)
Refined carbs like:
• White rice
• Pasta
• Sports Drinks
Aren’t evil — they’re tools.

Step 3: Time them around training
Eat refined carbs before and/or after workouts to:
• Boost performance
• Improve recovery
• Refill muscle glycogen
That’s fuel doing its job — not “fat storage.”

Bottom line:
Carbs don’t make you fat.
They’re are our main source of energy, and when used correctly they’re extremely beneficial.

Save this. Share it with someone still afraid of rice.

High Protein Meals for Busy People! 💪🏻

Sometimes life gets busy — I hear you.

But that doesn’t mean wasting your money on DoorDash, Uber Eats, or a $22 “protein” salad that leaves you hungry an hour later.

It means simple food, done fast.

I literally put all these meals together in under 10 minutes, then edited it down to a 30-second video.

Honestly? It took me longer to edit this Reel than to make the food 🤣

It’s not time that’s against you — it’s your plan.

Have a few go-to meals.
Hit your protein.
Move on with your day.

Save this.
Future you will be glad you did. 💪🔥

I competed in bodybuilding — that’s why I was this lean.

But if I’m being honest, even before bodybuilding, I grew up believing that being lean meant you were healthier, fitter, and more disciplined.

So when I stepped on stage, I thought I’d reached the
goal.

What I didn’t see at the time was the cost:
low energy, poor recovery, mood swings, dehydration, and a messed-up relationship with food once the show was over.

Bodybuilding didn’t break me — it taught me.

It showed me that health isn’t about chasing the leanest version of yourself.

It’s about building a body you can live in — with energy, strength, balance, and sustainability.

That experience is exactly why I coach the way I do now.

You don’t need to suffer to be fit.

And having somebody fat isn’t failure — it’s part of being healthy.

If this resonated, comment HEALTHY and I’ll send you something genuinely helpful.

Sh*te vs Right: Lunges Edition

If your lunges feel awkward, wobbly, or turn your knees into victims… yeah — they might be sh*te 😅

Make them RIGHT:
✔️ Long enough stance
✔️ Front knee tracks over toes (not collapsing in)
✔️ Back knee drops down, not forward
✔️ Chest tall, core braced
✔️ Push through the front heel to stand

Better lunges =
Stronger legs
Healthier knees
More glute gains
Less “why does this hurt?” energy

Fix this and every workout gets better.

Save this.

Send it to your lunge-abusing mate.

Then go train properly. 🔥

Tight hips?

That’s not age… that’s too much sitting + not enough movement.

These stretches work because they hit the hips from every angle:
➡️ flexion
➡️ rotation
➡️ side-to-side
➡️ deep squat positions

Your hips are ball-and-socket joints.

Treat them like door hinges and they’ll move like rusty gates 🚪😬.

Why these unlock your hips 👇
• Open the hip flexors (bye tight quads)
• Release deep glute tension
• Improve rotation for running, lifting & daily life
• Take pressure off your lower back
• Help your body move how it’s meant to move

Think of it like this:
Your hips are the engine. If they’re stiff, everything above and below pays the price.

🕒 5–7 minutes a day
🧠 Breathe slow
🔥 Move with control

Save this. Do it after training or before bed.
Your hips will thank you tomorrow.

Bodybuilding didn’t just change my body.
It changed my life.

When I lost my best friend, I was forced to look at everything — my grief, my habits, and the addictions I was using to avoid both.

I chose to sober up for my bodybuilding journey.
For 4–5 months, I went completely clean.

That process gave me structure when everything else felt chaotic. It helped me heal, confront my addictions honestly, and rebuild myself from the inside out.

It took time — real time — but I’m grateful to say I’m in a healthy place now.

That journey also shaped the coach I became. I learned how to lose weight, build muscle, and create change sustainably, and I now apply those same principles with my clients every day.

How do you approach obstacles?

In this episode of the Inner Fire Podcast, breaks down exactly how we should all approach them.

We don’t grow without obstacles. If there were no obstacles we wouldn’t accomplish much of anything in life.

Christina says - “use obstacles as an opportunity for growth”

Your whole life you will be faced with them, so why not see them as opportunities and not some dead end.

📝 Note: The next time an obstacle comes in your way ask yourself - how will this make me a stronger.
