You will always be critiqued on what you do and dont do. I finally hit that 100lb dumbbell club. But always push yourself to the limit. Lift heavy (appropriately) with good recovery in between sets to help burn fat and get ready for beach season! Follow me on tiktok (baxtah5). If you know anyone who wants to start their fitness journey. Please tell them to message me and we can start wherever they need. Promote positive vibes and good health.

I have a very open schedule and would love to help with your fitness goals.

I hope everyone had a great week. Did you find out what your next goal is or did you start a new plan/diet? If so keep going and crushing it! If not start now don’t wait for the right time, there is never a right time. If you need any guidance don’t be afraid to ask.

Any other times during those days can work. I will just need you to message me in advance and we will see what we can do! I would love to teach and train some people!
It has been a long time coming but I finally reached a goal of mine. I focused at least two days a week for the last two months on being able to improve my bench press, while doing at least one day for each other muscle group for maintenance. Today I attempted to set a new PR and I hit it! Weighing in around 138lbs I hit a new max of 225lbs. Don’t ever quit! Set a goal and go after it, no matter what it is or what it takes! I’m here for any support or hype you need to get you where you want and need to be!
Here are some plyomteric exercises for your chest (1st position),
lats (2nd position) and
obliques (3rd/4th position) for some explosive strength! Switch up your training and add some of these into it! Try 3-4 sets of 10-20 reps! Ease into this and squeeze the muscles for each exercise. Keep your core tight and don’t forget to breathe!
Here is a speed drill with the parachute. With a jog and walk.
5-10 reps.
This is a great plyometric exercise for athletes! Here is a way to provide top speed, great for fast hip flexion, and your vertical jump.
Hey everyone, it’s summer time let’s get to work. I am looking to train people in whatever they need weightlifting, endurance training, getting faster, soccer specific or anything else you want to ask me about I will accommodate. The days that I am most available are Monday Tuesday and Wednesdays all day long. I might be able to help out on some other days just message me! If you know anyone that wants to get to work or needs help reaching a goal, I am your guy! This is for all ages. This has been a passion of mine and I want to help you. Please reach out to friends and family and message me for details on how you want to get started!
My goal has been to join the 225lb club with the flat bench barbell press for a while now but knew it wasn’t going to be easy while only weighing 140lbs. I’m so close and I’m going to keep pushing! Here is a little clip of heavy weight for the
4-6 rep range with 95lbs! This flat bench dumbbell press is great for unilateral stability and potentially more range of motion. Set your mind on one goal and focus on that for months at a time until you get it. Trying to set too many goals at once could inhibit you from reaching a goal and set you back! You got this and let me know what your goal is!
Hey all, we had a great vacay and now back at it with the grind! It’s okay to take a week or two off every few months. It’s great to reset the nervous system after the abundance of a strength program and get some good sleep and do some mediation. Also, it’s great for you physically because it gives you time to rest your muscles, recover and give any nagging injuries a little break. In fact, taking that time off could give you more motivation to get back into the gym! So what’s your focus this month? This year? Let’s get closer to those goals!
Hey all, it’s a new month so a new chapter! I think we all should focus on one or two things and stick to it for the rest of the month and see if it makes you feel better, look better or gives you more peace of mind. I have some examples for us all if you don’t know where to start.
1) set a goal of a weight you want to do in a certain exercise and prioritize that muscle group twice a week instead of once a week for a month while making sure you sustain the other muscles once a week.
2) say no to a piece of food/drink that you love but you say “I can’t live without that” do it for a month. Test your will power and limits.
3) start stretching more on something that you have been super unflexible with for years and stick to it.
4) limit outside distractions and focus on you and even a dream that you have. Put aside a few minutes a day to figure out what you need to make it possible.
5) run a mile a day no matter the weather, the time or other craziness going on in your life and test yourself on doing something outside your comfort zone without pushing it off to the next day.
Check back in in a month and let me know how you did! YOU got this!
Crucifix curls are an exercise that you should incorporate into your workout. You can do that one at a time or together if you have enough room for full range of motion. They are another exercise for your biceps but they help with shoulder stability and make you keep your core tight.
1) keep your arm straight to the side and dont move your elbow
2) only your forearm should be moving (eccentric and concentric)
3) keep your body straight and imagine there is a wall in front of you and don’t allow your body to move
4) maintain good posture and keep your core tight
T bar rows work your upper back and latissimus dorsi. On this machine there are two grips. The first grip I use in the video is a straight grip which will involve more of your upper back muscles (rhomboids,trapezius, and deltoids) while hitting your lats. The angled 45 degree grip will put more emphasis on the lats while hitting your upper back muscles.
If you are not feeling the muscles being worked.
1) squeeze at the top of the movement and pinch your shoulder blades
2) allow the weight to go all the way down and overstretch your muscles
Hammer curls are a great exercise to incorportare into your bicep workouts. Hammer curls target the long head of your bicep and the upper forearm. If you see here after some reps I will use my other hand to help bring the weight up. Then I will slowly control the weight down as a negative rep to break down more muscle for growth.
