A couple weekends ago I got to participate in for the second time (not Rx this time thank goodness)!

It's taken me a couple of weeks to process exactly how I felt about my performance. It isn't nearly where I want it to be, but that's okay.

I was 100% the limiting factor on my team, and I have nothing but gratitude for and for not sweating me sh****ng the bed throughout basically the entire day.

Workout 1 I got buried by the worm squats and got super lightheaded to the point I couldn't stand up. Workout 2/3 was better (20 # PR on my clean, hell yeah) but I tweaked my knee. In workout 4 my knee literally gave out and we had to adjust on the fly to even keep moving.

While I'm not happy at all about how I performed and how my body didn't hold up, I am still glad I competed. It was a great day for it, the event itself is always SUPER well run (shout-out to the event 1 judge and medical staff making absolutely sure I was okay), and now I have even more motivation to get after it every day.

When things don't go your way, there's only one thing to do: work harder.

Proud to announce I am a new Brand Ambassador!

I've been following HWPO programming since its inception and anyone who has talked to me knows this is by far my favorite brand, both for workout programming and philosophy in general.

It's pretty hard for me to fully align myself with a lot of things because I feel like a lot of those things not align with my work ethic, but HWPO embodies that perfectly and I can't wait to see where all of this goes.

Earn your success. Be so good they can't ignore you. Hard work pays off!

I just PRed my 5000m row by 2 minutes and 7 seconds.

I hate rowing and have always hated rowing. But I worked on it anyways.

is about attacking whatever your target is with everything you have. So I did.

Didn't miss or sandbag a row workout just because "I didn't want to do it."

Not once did I even question if I was going to do it. Discipline comes in to play to make you do things you don't want to do, when you need to do them.

I'm not always motivated or inspired to work, but I do it anyways.

And now, on a regularly programmed day that wasn't even necessarily a testing day, I SMOKED my old 5k row time of 21:37 and hit an even 19:30.

And yeah, this is nowhere near an elite time. I know that. But it's definitely a good lesson.

Trust the process. Hard work pays off.

One of the first things I suggest people do when they want to get their nutrition under control is to start by eating more protein.

That doesn't necessarily mean just jumping into stuffing your face with tons more food. For a lot of people a good place to start is by swapping out regular things with another version that has more protein in it.

I love me some pasta and sometimes a dude just wants to smash some spaghetti. I can make sure I hit my protein goals by using something like the Protein+ Barilla brand . There are also garbanzo pastas and stuff like that.

Plus, if you're vegetarian this is another way to try and up your protein goals!
