That boy Jay. Work is work 🏁

From riding the bench and low confidence in 8U, to being considered with Elite 12U at 11 years old!!!

If you’re familiar with my page, you know Jaiden then. I’ve posted him a few times. I’ve been knowing Jaiden since he was 8 years old. I’ve been breaking down his swing since he was 8. Doing all the drills I’ve personally known and done since my youth. What’s given me success and what I’ve seen work.

From not being able to catch a fly ball, to learning how to get behind the ball. Learning to use your body. Mobility, stability, flexibility, routine, focus!! And understanding and mastering consistency.

They say you’re different cause you got ADHD. I say you’re different cause you remind me of me. Just lay your brick down for the day. Brick by brick. Day by day.

They could never deny the work 🏁

JAIDEN THE GREAT 🏁

From 199 ➡️ 180.
19lbs in 14months…..

CLEAN CUTS ONLY🗣️

Not a crash diet. Not shortcuts. Just discipline, phases, and real work.

Over the last 14 months, I didn’t just “lose weight”… I rebuilt my body.

Started heavy in the weights 🏋🏽‍♂️
Shifted into high-level conditioning 🥊
18–23 miles a week 🏃🏽‍♂️ + boxing 4x/week

What happened?

I didn’t burn out.
I didn’t lose myself chasing fast results.
I lost fat, kept muscle, and leveled up my performance.

This is what people don’t understand 👇
It’s not always about going harder…
It’s about knowing when to shift gears.

Lift.
Condition.
Adapt.

That’s how you build a body that doesn’t just look good —
it performs.

Now I’m leaner, faster, sharper… and just getting started.

🎯 Next goal: 165–168 lbs and staying there — stronger, sharper, more conditioned than ever.

If you want real results, stop chasing quick fixes.
Build a system. Stay consistent. Trust the process.

FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT!!! STILL UNDEFEATED !!! LETS GO CHAMP!!! It was an honor to watch Champ! To many more wins and an even longer undefeated streak! 🙏🏾

In August 2024, I was 215 lbs, and today, January 2025, I’m sitting at 199.6 lbs. The journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth every drop of sweat and every moment of discipline. How did I do it? Simple: consistency. I stuck to a workout schedule—4 days of weight lifting, 2 days of boxing, and 3 days of running. I started with a mile and gradually worked my way up to 2 miles.

I also made sure to track my calories using the “Lose It” app. It helped me truly understand what I was putting into my body and how much I needed to fuel my progress. It’s not just about losing weight, but about being mindful of what I eat and how it fuels my workouts.

And here’s the thing—throughout this process, I’ve never sacrificed strength. In fact, I’m still lifting heavy while maintaining 199 body weight. Right now, I’m benching 225 lbs, squatting 300+ lbs, and deadlifting over 450 lbs. Although the number on the scale is a great motivation, it’s important to focus on how I feel internally and how I actually look externally. When people talk about “losing weight” or “getting lean”, all that really means is losing overall body fat and maintaining or gaining muscle while doing so.

But this isn’t the end of my journey—it’s just the next chapter. My new goal? To lean out and get to 185 lbs. To get there, I’m switching things up: cutting my weight lifting down to 2 days a week, ramping up my boxing to 4-5 times a week, and keeping my running consistent. My eating habits will stay on point as well.

This is about challenging myself to go even further, push harder, and unlock new levels of strength, endurance, and discipline. If you’ve been following my journey, I hope it inspires you to keep showing up for yourself—no matter where you start. Your goals are possible with hard work and consistency. Let’s keep pushing forward together. 💪
