I’m a firm believer that hard physical exertion, preferably when you push yourself outside of your comfort zone, is one of the best ways to become a tougher, more resilient individual.

No matter your level, we all can push ourselves to the same end, the same border of comfort vs discomfort.

It’s not about how far it takes you to get to the border initially (as that distance can be expanded the more you challenge yourself), but rather that you recognize that border, and you step across it frequently.

Too many people get complacent, physically and mentally. I am guilty of it just like they are.

While you need to also embrace where you are at and be proud of what you have accomplished, there are moments when you will be tried, and an opportunity will present itself to make yourself a stronger, tougher, more resilient version of yourself (those moments will come often when you aren’t ready or feel like embracing them).

Your gut often lets you know when that happens, but when in doubt do something physically challenging every day.

It will lead you to those opportunities.

Maybe it’s getting off the couch to walk around the block (the challenge is not the walk, but the behavior of turning off the tv).

Maybe it’s pushing harder on your final mile of the run.

Maybe it’s taking the gym bro up on joining him in a workout. Your slightly intimidated, but he offered and you should do it.

Find the challenges 💪

Post leg day pump.

Been working hard the past few months and happy with the results.

Not a whole lot of weightlifting, in fact after Masters Worlds in December 2022 I decided to take some time off competing and just get back to lifting w no performance goals.

Jan-Feb was a tough month mentally, and the gym became a place for me to escape and mentally work through things, which was also where I did most of my thinking in my younger years.

Anyways, diet and training have been solid, and body feels good (other than DOMS from brutal workouts lol).

So I can’t complain :)

No plans yet for the future, other than to continue to do what I love, chase the pump :)

Also, if you could do me a HUGE FAVOR and follow my YouTube channel (YouTube.com/) that would be amazing.

In solitarily with my amazing wife, I wanted to share my feelings on what happened earlier this year.

We are both at a place where we are doing “better” and wanted to share to hopefully help someone who is doing through this or will unfortunately have to.

My wife and I were over the moon excited about being pregnant.

We have worked hard to place ourselves in a position where we were ready physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially bring life into this world.

For those of you who know me, I downright try to control every variable that is within my control to seek a positive outcome.

This January, we found out we had a miscarriage.

I will never forget the deafening silence as I sat started at the ultrasound monitor with my wife, looking for a heart beat.

I have heard they were common, so common that the logical side of me knew the odds… but the Mike in me said it was not gonna happen to us.

The next few weeks were kind of a blur really.

We both were sad, but I also just felt fu***ng angry.

Not at anyone in particular, but just a deep anger, maybe even at myself for somehow thinking this was something in my control. I was fully aware of my angry, and was even able to sometimes detach it, but it was there.

I was so angry I decided to jump into a kickboxing match with zero prep leading up to it.

I would then come home and have moments with my wife of sadness, happiness that we are so strong together, and then slip back into angry mode, attacking weights and heavy bags.

And honestly, that was what I needed. For me, I know I needed to work through this on my own terms, and I appreciate the love and support of my close friends and family, and for everyone else in my life who gave me the sense of normalcy and friendship (they didn’t know it at the time, but that was super helpful to just not have to talk about it and FEEL it 24/7).

I developed my LOOK LIKE YOU LIFT training plans (3 options) after compiling all my workout logs over the years, and building a program that took all that science and hard work and combined it into a detailed 10-15-20 week plan.

If you are someone who wants it all, let me share my principles with you (in a training plan!)

⚡️ POWER
💪 STRENGTH
🔥 PHYSIQUE
⚒️ INJURY RESILIENCE
🔋 ABILITY TO TAKE ON ANYTHING

I set out to address common training questions like…

❓Can you be strong, powerful, athletic, and lean?

❓Can you do this while also not being a slave to the gym?

❗️ Yes, you can, I’m a product of that, as are hundreds of lifters who have embraced the principles of LLYL.

⏳Looking back at my journey over the past 10 years, I saw that my training combined many key aspects that allowed me to transition into things easily.

✅ Powerlifting - Using the foundational barbell lifts to gain strength and increase raw force output potentials.

✅ Olympic Weightlifting - Learning how to transfer force quickly, and produce high amounts of force output rapidly (power).

✅ Bodybuilding - Ability to improve aesthetics but also develop underperforming muscles to ward off injury and boost performance.

✅ Aerobic/Anaerobic Training - This came in the way of running, sprinting, interval protocols on various equipment, and martial arts training.

Those helped me develop my body into soemthing that was more than capable to take on new challlegnes.

It also helped me create a strong foundation of training when times came that I wanted to hyper-focus my training into specific endeavors:

- Competing in Powerlifting
- Competing in Olympic Weightliftint
- CrossFit Open workouts and competitions
- Endurnace Races
- Muay Thai
- Kickboxing Matches

The list can go on, but my point is I believe at the root of every athletes and capable being is a training program that develops all systems.

So if you are someone who struggles to get results, despite training hard, take a look at the 3 training plans below.

1️⃣ 20-Week All-Encompassing Program - LLYL

2️⃣ 15-Week Max Strength and Power Focused Program

3️⃣ 10-Week Max Muscle Gains Program

My stance on muscle soreness, what happens to also be backed by science.

I’d go as far and say, I’d rather have a work out get me extremely sore, because at least from that point on, I know exactly where my upper limit is.

If you hit your upper limit, then just back off and dial it in so that you’re not excessively sore after every session.

Too often people tell me they don’t get sore after the workouts, which, then I have to ask myself if they are pushing close enough to failure on their muscle building sets, or if they were doing enough in a singular session on that muscle group to induce growth.

But one thing is for certain, I love some muscle soreness a few days after. Lets me know I’m on the right track.

And to be clear again, I’m not saying you should be excessively sore for a whole week. That means you are doing way too much on one day, and may actually be limiting your ability to grow the muscle most optimally because you’re only able to train it once a week.

I train my muscle groups each, 2 to 3 times a week, so I have to be pretty precise with the amount of volume that I get on a single day for a muscle group, because I’ll have to train it again, 2 to 3 days in the future .

If you have questions on this type of stuff, shoot me a DM. These are the exact questions and issues I work directly with to help all my clients get the best results.

My go-to lunch whole cutting fat :)

500 calories
40 grams protein
10 grams fat
60 grams net carbs

*I get up early, so I enjoy my favorite meal (breakfast foods) at home during lunch on my breaks*

The hardest part on a diet is finding ways to hit your calorie goals while still eating enough volume to not be hungry 24/7.

This is one of my go to foods (light bread) to keep calories low and still have the volume.

I tend to try to keep@fat low bc I worth rather eat carbs and fill up more w foods that fill up more space that take out 300 calories by eating some nuts (I find low fat diets to be more sustainable, as I love carbs :)

Anyways, this post wasn’t to discuss high fat vs low fat diet, but rather to just share one of my go to meals.

If you struggle with finding meals to fit your macros, shoot me a message. I’ll be opening up 5 online spots for a 6-week diet and workout intensive group. More details to come, but I will be able to take on a few people every 2 months and help them fast tract their fat loss (or muscle gain… I have bulking groups too)
