What you looking at? 👀
Thanks for judging me last week and for taking all of the photos . Excited to see what 23.2 will be!

These events are going to be a bit of a discovery piece for me this year 🧐🔬
I didn’t qualify for the quarterfinals. I missed out by 1.1%. In order to make up that 1.1% for next year I need to know where I need to make up the most ground against the rest of the world 💪
Does qualifying for the quarterfinals mean anything in the grand scheme of things? Absolutely not. It certainly doesn’t make anyone a better human being.
However as a competitor who always wants to get better and work on my weaknesses and knowing how close I was, gives me a goal to shoot for for next year. And there is something to be said about setting goals and achieving them 🎯💪
So here we go. Weakness #1 found… Time to work on some HSPU stamina 🤸‍♂️

Don’t quote me on the percentage but you get the picture 😜

💥BOOM💥
These are the comments I love hearing from my clients. This is why I do what I do right here in a nutshell.
Alleviating chronic aches and pains by doing mobility and strengthening exercises that are right for your body is totally possible!
It won’t happen overnight. But give me 90 days to work with you and I am very confident you’ll be in a better place than where you started.

😤 Nose Only Breathing 😤
This is something we have been preaching on for years as coaches at
For those of you that may not know the 2022 Open started this week. The first workout was 15 minutes of constant high intensity movement. 3 Wall Walks, 12 DB snatches and 15 Box Jump Overs.
It’s a workout that would have been really easy to have gased out on early. Nose only breathing helps you from coming too hot out of the gate. It’s a great gauge. If you can maintain a decently high level of output while nose breathing, you can “open the tank” (mouth) at the end and finish strong.
That was my strategy. I breathed nose only until the 11:30ish mark, then tried to speed up and just hold on for the last few minutes.
As someone who, in the past, has gone way too hard too fast on workouts like this, I was very happy with the result!
Moral of the story is try some nose only breathing! It may just help put some better scores on the board 💪

☀️Environment > Motivation 🏕
This was more or less the set up during lockdown #1. I had some equipment from in my garage and a couple workout buddies in and
There were days where I wasn’t motivated and I really didn’t feel like working out. But the equipment was so easily accessible, the workout was pre made and I knew I had friends coming to workout with me every day around 4:30.
During lockdown #2 I had some equipment (not as much), it was still easily accessible, but I didn’t have any workout partners. Some days I was motivated, some days I wasn’t. On the days I didn’t feel motivated I didn’t work out.
There were a few lessons learned here:
1) The environment you create to make healthy habits easy to do is WAY more important than your motivation
2) Motivation is fleeting. It comes and goes. Use it to your advantage when you have it, but when it’s gone you must learn self discipline.
3) Discipline is following through even when you don’t feel like it. It’s a decision every single day.
4) Dedicate one room, or one space, to a specific activity. This helps create a separate environment for separate purposes.
If your motivated right now and are looking to create some self discipline, I have 2 PT spots open for February. DM me “DISCIPLINE” and lets get started!

Is specialization hurting you? 🤔
The human body moves predominantly in 7 different ways:
1 - Squat
2 - Hinge
3 - Push
4 - Pull
5 - Flexion + Extension
6 - Rotation (or resisting rotation)
7 - Lateral movement
We need capacity in all of these areas and quite often sport specific training doesn’t cover all of them. However, if you neglect other movement patterns that are essential to human movement we create imbalances. When we combine chronic overload (too much of a certain movement) with imbalances, we put ourselves at a higher risk of injury.
For years I really only trained squatting and jumping. It took a while, but through a lot of hard work I am now balanced between my deadlift and squat. My back, knees and hips all feel better now but I know I could have saved myself some pain and time had I done a well balanced program from the start.
If you need any help with you rehab/prehab process, send me a DM and we can find a time to chat 👍

❌More Isn’t Always Better❌
This is a workout programmed for this past week. You don’t need more than this type of workout 3-4 times per week to get fitter and healthier.
Some of the best results I’ve gotten personally were from when I reduced my overall training volume.
Of course my situation is not yours. You might need more training than what you are doing right now. But the point is you don’t need to work out every day for 2 hours a day or anything crazy like that.
Work to rest ratio is so important when it comes to fitness as well as preventing/dealing with pain.
If you’ve been dealing with pain, you need the right dosage. If you aren’t sure what dosage you need, send me a message and let’s figure it out!

🔥 You deserve a pain free life 🔥
Have you ever had back pain so bad that you couldn’t bend over to put your socks on? 🤦🏻Or maybe you can’t lift your shoulders overhead? 😡
Regardless of what type of pain you are in I want you to know that you don’t need to live like that. It’s going to take some work but if you are willing to put in the time and the effort I can help get you there. 👍
Movements like this sandbag carry helped me go from super painful 20 min car rides to now 5+ hours in a car pain free if needed. 🤟
You don’t need to live in pain. If you’ve been told you CAN’T or “this is just the way it is” I think you deserve a second, third, fourth, fifth opinion. Keep searching because living pain free is so worth it! 😁
If you’re in pain send me a message or leave a comment. I would love to chat and see if I can help! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
