You were closer than you think when you stopped.

Most people don’t quit because it’s not working.
They quit because it’s not working fast enough.

They expect weeks to undo years.
They expect linear progress.
They expect motivation to carry them the whole way.

And when reality hits… they stop.

Stopping is the only thing that guarantees failure.

Progress doesn’t come from starting over.
It comes from staying in long enough for the work to compound.

This isn’t a 30-day sprint.
It’s a lifestyle shift.
Habits. Standards. Patience.

Stay stubborn.
Stay in the fight.
Stop stopping.

Because if you don’t quit, you will get there.

You don’t lack information.
You’re drowning in it.

New diet.
New method.
New “expert” every week.

So you overthink.
You hesitate.
You change plans before anything has time to work.

Almost everything works if you stick with it long enough.

Too much information creates paralysis.
Paralysis kills consistency.
And consistency is the only thing that changes your body.

You don’t need a smarter plan.
You need a simpler one you actually execute.

Less inputs.
More reps.
More days in a row doing the basics well.

Stop hunting for the next answer.
Start doing the work you already know you should be doing.

That’s how people finally get unstuck.

The fastest way to sabotage fat loss?

All-or-nothing thinking.

You eat clean all day.
Then you grab a bite of your kid’s mac and cheese.
Or a cookie. Or a snack you didn’t plan.

And instead of moving on, you think:
“Well… today’s ruined.”

So one small slip turns into:
Dinner off-plan.
Snacking all night.
A “cheat day.”
Sometimes a cheat weekend.

That’s not fat loss physiology.
That’s self-sabotage.

👉 One imperfect choice doesn’t matter.
👉 Quitting on the day does.

Fat loss is lost through patterns, not moments.
Consistency beats perfection every time.

The people who get lean aren’t stricter.
They’re better at recovering from small mistakes.

Eat the next meal like a professional.
Stick to the plan.
Stop turning speed bumps into brick walls.

WHY IS FAT LOSS GETTING HARDER?

It’s not your age.
It’s your baggage.

Your dieting baggage. The unseen internal effects of starving your body, NOT weight training, and effectively destroying your metabolism.

Every time you put yourself in a deficit there’s an adaptation.

Metabolism is downregulated.
Hormones suppressed.
Muscle lost.

You can’t SEE this, but it’s happening.

Because nearly every diet is designed to feed your need for speed. NOT because they actually want to help you.

This is done for a few reasons…
1. Pure ignorance/lack of knowledge
2. They just want your money
3. You’ll keep coming back

Who can you trust? Almost nobody.

You need to be really careful what you choose to put your body through.

There are benefits, if done right, and consequences, if done wrong.

Do it right, please.

The scale is lying to you.

If you’re only judging progress by bodyweight, you’re missing the whole picture.

The scale can’t tell you
• how much muscle you’re building
• how much fat you’re losing
• how your body composition is changing

It only tells you gravity.

That’s why people lose “weight” and still look softer.
They lose muscle, stall their metabolism, and end up frustrated.

Real progress shows up in:
Photos
Measurements
Strength
Energy
Body composition

The scale is just one data point.
Use it alone and it will mislead you.

Track what actually matters, or stay confused about why your body isn’t changing.

12/20/2025

Most people major in the minors and stay stuck forever.

They chase fancy exercises.
They copy weird angles and gimmicks from social media.
They look for supplements before they’ve earned the basics.

Meanwhile, the fundamentals get ignored.

Here’s what actually moves the needle:

Hit your protein.
Control your calories.
Lift weights consistently.
Show up week after week.

That’s it.

No circus tricks.
No magic supplements.
No shortcuts.

The people who win aren’t doing more.
They’re doing less, better, and longer.

Stop getting distracted.
Build the foundation.

Want to hit a plateau fast? Do this.

Go from zero to 100 overnight.

Seven workouts a week.
Hours of cardio.
Slashing calories to the floor.

It works… for a few weeks.

Then your body adapts.
Your metabolism slows.
Your energy crashes.
And suddenly you’ve got nowhere left to go.

You can’t cut more food forever.
You can’t add infinite cardio.

That’s how people get stuck.

The smarter move is boring but effective:
Start with what your body can tolerate.
Stay consistent.
Make small, calculated adjustments as progress slows.

Fat loss isn’t about doing everything at once.
It’s about leaving yourself room to progress.

Sprint at the start, and you stall early.
Build momentum, and you keep moving forward.

12/18/2025

This one mistake makes people quit too early.

They rely on the mirror.

Day to day, nothing looks different.
So they assume nothing’s working.
And they stop.

But real progress is slow, subtle, and invisible in the moment.

That’s why tracking matters.

Photos.
Scale trends.
Measurements.
Body composition.

Not for obsession. For proof.

I’ve seen it countless times.
Someone swears nothing is happening…
Then they see an old photo and say,
“I forgot I ever looked like that.”

If you don’t measure it, your brain fills in the gaps with doubt.

And doubt kills consistency.

Track the process.
Trust the data.
That’s how you stay in long enough to win.

ITS NOT JUST AGING…

Most men are tired, softer, weaker, foggier, and less driven after 40. We just accept it as aging.

Even if you’re doing all the “right things”, you can get stuck spinning your wheels.

Testosterone impacts muscle, metabolism, mood, confidence, libido, bone density, recovery…

But it has been treated like a dangerous drug instead of basic male biology.

The FDA is finally waking up and starting to admit what many of us have known for a long time…

Testosterone is NOT dangerous and all the fear mongering was overblown.

This doesn’t mean every man needs TRT, but nearly every man over 40 does.

At a minimum you should know your numbers and stop guessing and assuming.

Trying to build muscle, lose fat, feel sharp, and show up strong with deficient hormones is more than an uphill battle.

No amount of motivation fixes biology.

This mindset is why you never feel satisfied.

You keep looking sideways instead of forward.

Comparing your body, your life, or your progress to someone else will always leave you empty.
There will always be someone leaner. Richer. Further ahead.

That game has no finish line.

The moment you stop measuring yourself against other people and start measuring yourself against yesterday, everything changes.

Progress feels real again.
Wins feel earned again.
Life feels lighter.

Run your race.
Lock in on your standards.
And build something you’re proud of.

Starting on Monday? The new year?

If that’s the plan, then you’re going to fail. I can guarantee it.

At this point in life, we don’t have time to waste. Our 40’s and 50’s determine the rest of our lives.

We can either make some big changes, or keep doing what we’ve been doing.

If you’ve been compromising way too much and have some unhealthy habits..well guess what…the s**t is about to hit the fan (if it hasn’t already).

Now is the time to turn things around. To do things differently.

If you knew what to do and how to do it, you would have already. But you haven’t and the hole you’re digging keeps getting deeper.

You can lose fat and build muscle now just as easily as you can in your 20’s. But that will not happen if you keep putting it off. Procrastinating. Delaying. Hiding.

Time to turn things around and take back control of your life!

MOST CONDITIONED IN THE ENTIRE SHOW

Guy, girl, doesn’t matter. No one was as skinless shredded as Go look. Seriously.

She is ALWAYS shredded on stage, and just outdoes herself with every show. This was no exception.

I finally got her to take the national stage and she did and man did she SHOW UP!

She was outside of the top 5 here, if you can believe it. Had she been in the proper height class we’d be announcing IFBB pro status IMHO.

Wanna know the craziest part? She was eating over 4,000 calories coming into this show.

She’s a metabolic monster! Pretty much zero cardio too.

This is 100% earned with year round consistency. She had about 1,000 of “flex calories” as a permanent part of her meal plan for the past year.

Karee has been a client and friend for 10 years now. She never coach jumped, she never deviated. She placed her trust and faith in me and I’m incredibly humbled to be able to serve in that role for her.

You’re amazing Karee. Simply amazing.
