๐ฅSummer Shred Update๐ฅ
1.4lbs Down from Week 1 to Week 2.
That doesnโt seem like a lot right.
Well youโre right.
Opinions can differ on this point, but I believe losing 1-2% of total body weight per week is a healthy way of doing it.
Example - 200lbs person
1% = 2 lbs
2% = 4 lbs
Judging by my weight loss so far, Iโm slightly under that number.
My goal for the two weeks was to find how my body responded to being at my old maintenance calorie limit of 2500cal.
I have not been skipping meals, added any cardio or tried to lessen my calories.
For the next two weeks, Iโm keeping the calories the same but adding in a little โextraโ cardio.
20-30 minutes at most.
That should have me in that 1-2% range.
Question for you guys, what questions do you have about fat loss?
Is there something I can help you with?
Comment below or DM me and Iโll do my best to help, or point you someone who can help!

Sometimes itโs can be frustrating as hell.
As someone who has gone through it a few times and trained clients through it, there are some common trends that come up.
And they are ANNOYING AF!!!

Which is the most annoying to you? โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
2 months, 20lbs of weight gained ๐
I would argue that only 10% of the weight gained is benefiting me.
The rest is all fat.
I find myself feeling disappointed that I let this happen.
I am an emotional eater and there has been a lot going on since the start of this year.
However I know I can turn this around.
Today is the start of me grabbing the reins and taking control again.
Iโm thinking of documenting everything I am doing and sharing it with you.
What do you think?
Would you find something like this helpful?

I will not be posting any content on my social media all of Tuesday (6/2/20), maybe even a couple of days, possibly a week.
Right now, living in America, I will mute myself as I firmly believe my voice is not the one people need to hear right now.
I will dedicate this time to listen to those voices that matter most right now.
By listening to those voices, I hope to be more educated and get a better understanding on how they feel.
While I am learning, I firmly stand with the Black community.
I encourage you to do the same.

Itโs everyone vs hate.

Itโs a time to love.

You donโt need to live at the gym.
You can make tremendous progress with 3-4 days of training.
You just need the right plan ๐๐พ
A bad day can be made better by lifting some heavy ass tin.
Squatting in lifters today cuz itโs something different. Nothing more to say about that. Hope everyone is having a productive start to the week!
Just your weekly reminder that if you havenโt reached your goals yet, Saturday and Sunday are NOT days off.
10 x 1 @ 365lbs
Slowing it all down and breaking down my technique piece by piece. Being tight out of the hole and not shooting my hips up too early.
While mindlessly lifting tin is fun, in order to maintain longevity in this field I have to critique everything I do. With two serious back injuries in my past, I cannot take anything for granted.
Little bit of power and explosiveness to finish off the workout today.
The squat is the perfect analogy for life. Itโs about standing back up after something heavy takes you down.
BB Complex for the win ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
45 Degree Reverse Hypers (thank you for the exercise)
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Working some assistance work for the Deadlift. My sticking point is just below my knees, so Iโm focusing on working the muscles and excerises that will help that. These absolutely lit up my glutes and hamstrings!

Just a note - if your โcoachโ tells you your knees shouldnโt track pass your toes during a squat, time to find a new coach.

Hope everyone had an amazing weekend and are getting after it! What are yโall training today?

Paused Deadlift for the win. Working on my sticking points to help bring up my overall lift. Not to mention pausing midway makes 315lbs feel like a tonne ๐ซ

With my training becoming harder and more relentless, my NUMBER 1 priority has become RECOVERY ๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐ด. Without it, I have poor workouts and my progress stagnates.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
With my recovery will be taken to the next level! As you can see it pulsates at the precise frequency and pressure to help soften and get rid of knots and increase blood flow to the area. All of which helps with recovery!
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
I used this a few hours after a very tough leg day and my legs feel ready to squat again! Itโs amazing how quick it works. Very excited to be using this tool ๐

Happy Monday people.
For today, pick something heavy up and go for a walk. Youโll be surprised how taxing that is on your body.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Keep your chest proud, shoulders back and core engaged aaaand go!
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Oh and does anyone know where I can find knee sleeves and or wraps for squatting. Iโm curious want to try them out. Would be much appreciated ๐

Question, can you sit at the bottom of a body weight squat without pain, tightness or restrictions? ๐ค
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Many people at the gym today are obsessed about how much weight you can lift. In my opinion, you shouldnโt even be touching a weight if you canโt perform the bodyweight variation with near perfection.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
This opinion is shared by , somebody who I highly respect in this industry.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
As you can see this is my mobility work before my squat session (that video coming soon). How I feel here determines the weights I lift that day and whether I need more accessory and mobility work. While sticking to my prescribed plan is essential, allowing some variance to accommodate how my body feels day by day is more important and will lead to longevity in this sport. And not to mention my training has helped this tremendously!
