Since July of 2015 I've used the Renaissance Periodization diet app (RP diet app) as I was looking for something more "hardcore" and strict compared to if it fits your macros and my fitness pal. For a variety of reasons it's time for me to make the switch to Cronometer going forward. I'll probably outline why I decided to make the switch in due time on my website and then cliff note it on here.

Ive been using the two apps together for a while to make sure I liked cronometer.

As far as my recommendation for clients I think the free versions of both my fitness pal and cronometer give you everything you need to be successful if you're consistent and truthful with you're tracking.

The RP app I think can still work well and the paid gold version of cronometer I believe is worth the upgrade from the free version if you're consistent.

I think out of them all for beginners or people that struggle to remain steady the free version of myfitnesspal is still likely the best "entry level" beginner app.

Anyway, I'm the future I will plan a little write up on why I've decided to switch to cronometer and how it may benefit everyone compared to other apps.

Been busy moving things around last two days. Got a bar table to eat my lunch on instead of standing at the kitchen counter the past 13 years. Wasn't able to put the bar stools together yet but should be done by the end of week.

9 hours of sleep last night....this is why I had the big schedule overhaul in February that closed the gym on Wednesdays.

There are many ways to progress your fitness. While I'm not perfect with nutrition (more variety would be optimal) or training, I have those two dialed in pretty well. Sleep was always the area that needed the most improvement.

I've never had a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep. The problem was prioritizing the time allotted for sleep, and that's what I've been working on improving.

I'm in a much better place sleep-wise today compared to February, but it's still an area I can continue to optimize and improve.

While I didn't necessarily always "feel" run down, there's been a pretty significant difference in my energy and, most notably, my strength since making the adjustment and increasing my weekly sleep hours. Normal aches and pains have also reduced significantly.

With my hip arthritis, I feel confident that the negative symptoms have lessened as a result of improved sleep and recovery.

I'm not making a new discovery here, but I'm noting that the increased sleep has been worth the adjustment. Based on conversations at the gym, it's probably an area of focus that we all need to prioritize more if we want to generally feel better and perform better.

NEW GEAR COMING

Realized yesterday I really don't have a good bicep cable attachment. The short straight bar is fine but I don't really care for it. The rackable curl bar is also kindve annoying to setup towards the end of a workout.

I bought this rotating vgrip attachment from Rogue which should be in within the next week or two. Primarily will be used for two movements but should likely do those two moves better than the current options and being able to use with the cable stack will be a bit more time efficient.

How Much Does a Personal Trainer Cost in Charlotte, NC?

Considering personal training but not sure what you should expect to pay? Personal training prices in Charlotte can vary based on the trainer's experience, session length, training environment, and whether you choose one-on-one or semi-private training.

A personal training studio is more than just the equipment inside it. Keeping the space clean, comfortable, and well maintained is part of running a professional training environment.

Today’s project was replacing the weather seal on the front door to help keep the studio more comfortable throughout the year and protect the space from the elements.

Small maintenance projects aren’t always noticeable, but they’re part of keeping the gym in good shape for everyone who trains here.

I've always disliked the lighting in the gym along with the drop ceiling that makes this look like a dentist office. I spent about two hours yesterday planning how to make the bottom picture with chatgpt/gemini and it doesn't seem like too much of an ordeal and also not insanely expensive. No time line but this may be the next project at the gym. Will try the smaller room first to see how it goes before working on the lobby & larger gym area.

Lights would be dimmable and could adjust them to warm/cool.

I don't always execute every idea i have but this may be something on the horizon 🤔
