Bodybuilding isn’t just a hobby to me.

It taught me the fundamental skills that are proving to be the foundation of my success in law school.

My impression of law school, thus far, is that it has little to do with your knowledge. It doesn’t matter WHAT you know.

What matters then?

What matters is your ability to apply what you learn in a multitude of different contexts. It’s application.

So to me…the skills that I had to master to step onstage and win at a high level are essentially the same here.

I’m a competitor. I always will be. Law school is the next competition. It’s bodybuilding by another name.

That might sound ludicrous. And maybe it is…

But I am thankful for everything the sport of bodybuilding taught me.

I guess my new IFBB pro card looks like a JD.

It’s a 3 year contest prep.

Let’s f*ckin go.

Just some thoughts on my first week of law school and how my years of contest prep have actually been a benefit.

“I don’t have time for breakfast”

I’ve heard that probably more than any other excuse.

You don’t have a time problem.

You have a priority problem.

Here’s an easy fix.

Try it - or don’t.

I know what I’m gonna do…

This is my favorite breakfast to make on a training day.

Here’s what you need:

80g oats
150g egg whites
1 whole egg
34g Alpha Nutrition Labs ™ Cinnamon Crunch protein
5g baking powder
75g banana

+ sugar free syrup

Oh…and a waffle maker.

Every exercise in a real program has a job. It’s either loading a pattern or targeting a muscle, in a specific slot, for a specific reason.

Swap it for something that does a different job and you didn’t customize your training. You broke it.

Before you change anything, ask three questions:

What’s the job?
Why this variation?
Why this position in the session?

If your swap keeps all three answers, it’s valid. If it doesn’t, you’re just program hopping in slow motion.

This is how every program inside The 40+ Blueprint is built. Over 40 and done guessing? Comment BLUEPRINT and I’ll send you the details.
