✨ Protein is having a moment… but here’s the truth:
Protein isn’t just for bodybuilders. It’s for busy moms, dads, students, and anyone wanting more energy, better recovery, and to stay fuller longer.
Small habits create big changes. 💪

Let me inform you of something, the life you have NOW, the life your living NOW, the conditions you find yourself in NOW are a product of the habits, choices and actions you chose 6 months ago.
Want proof? I got you.
It’s June, the standard time everyone wants to be beach ready, but you find yourself missing the mark for the umpteeth year again? Why? Not because of what you did yesterday, but the lack of training, nutrition, consistency and action you put in place January 1 to be ready for June. You had the goal to work for 6 months to be ready, but the habits of allowing everything else to be an obstacle that blocked your progress.
See, the beauty of growth in fitness isn’t about being INTENSE for 1 day or two days, but being consistent, day in and day out, building CONSISTENT habits with food, movement, training and recovery that get you where you are now.
Think about where you could be in 6 months from now? Are the actions, habits and choices you’re making today going to lead you there OR are you going to look back in another 6 months and realize you missed the mark again?
Don’t miss the mark. Start today, make a choice, start a habit, give it it’s Day 1 and then build on it every single day. The choice is yours, 6 months from now you could be living a totally different life that you dream of, or regretting the time you wasted and hating the habits that derailed you along the way.

In a social media climate where it seems people rush to only post bad experiences and bad reviews of local businesses I wanted to take a second and highlight two PHENOMENAL local businesses right here in Murray, Hometown Chiropractic w/Drew Zimmerman and massage therapy with Brandy Paschall.
Training upwards of 10-14 clients per day on top of training myself and preparing for my upcoming season led to me having a shoulder injury and pain that was BEYOND unbearable. I’ve tried so many of the “snap, crackle, pop” locations that have you in and out 5 minutes but I want to give a HUGE shoutout first to Drew for spending almost an entire hour diagnosing the issues that were going on and putting me through some of the most intensive chiropractic work I’ve ever experienced leading to a massive relief of pain and increase of mobility and use of my shoulder.
Brandy put the cherry on top after another hour of massage therapy today and she spent so much time being beyond thorough, finding every single muscle and tendon that needed attention and care and brought my left shoulder back into balance with my right.
The two of them have brought me back to a PAIN FREE feeling that I haven’t had in months and I am so beyond grateful. I always say, align your health and fitness with trainers, doctors and medical professionals who truly LISTEN to your issues and goals and put together a comprehensive plan for you and these two are staples in my arsenal to keep me performing at the best of my abilities!
If you are looking for a great massage therapist or chiropractor, look no further than these two right here in Murray! Absolutely great experience and cannot recommend them enough!

Are your knees caving in when you lunge or squat? 🦵🏽
That’s called knee valgus. A lot of people assume they just have "bad knees," but usually, it's just a sign that your hips and glutes are completely slacking on the job. 📉
At The Garage, we aren't just trying to make you tired—we are correcting movement so the body can perform better. 🤝
Watch until the end to see how we fix it:
By using Patrick Step-Downs.
The secret is the cue you hear in the video: "Think pinky toe." 🦶💥 By forcing the weight toward the outside of the foot, it drives engagement straight into the glutes and locks in serious knee stability.
If your knees do this, stop hammering heavy squats and add these to your warm-up or accessory work:
🛠️ The Protocol: 3 sets of 10–12 controlled reps per side. Focus purely on the tracking, not speed.
Stop letting your joints take a beating because your muscles aren't firing. Fix the movement pattern first, and the performance will follow.

💜 Find your community.
Not the place where you have to be perfect.
Not the place where nobody notices when you miss.
Find the place that makes you feel safe to come back and try again.
Fitness isn’t about getting everything right. It’s about having people around you who encourage you on the hard days, celebrate the wins, and remind you why you started.
At The Garage, we’re more than a gym. We’re a community.
And we’re saving you a spot. 💪

I talk about the importance of leaving your stress and worries at the gym door so you can focus on building the best version of yourself. I remind you that when you're in the gym, it's not about vanity or ego—it's about becoming stronger to handle life's challenges outside. I challenge you to be free during your workout, just like Dom says in Fast and Furious: When I'm racing, for those ten seconds or less, nothing else matters. Build yourself up in the gym, then go handle what life throws at you.
Their shoulders are telling on them. 👀📱📚
Between phones, gaming, and hours hunched over school work, kids are spending way too much time in a slouch.
The result? Rounded shoulders and locked-up mobility.✋🏼
The best time to teach youth athletes the importance of posture is RIGHT NOW- while they're growing.
Braxton and Graham are crushing some Prone Raises w/ External Rotation here.
3 sets
Of 10-12 reps (slow and controlled)
This targets the rear delts, rotator cuff, and mid-to-lower traps to literally pull the shoulders back and reverse the slouch.
We don’t just build strength. We build habits that protect their bodies for life. 💪
Strong. Mobile. Resilient. That’s the plan.⭐️
Shoutout to Braxton and Graham for always putting in the work! 🤠
fix it, control it… move better.
