Email: [email protected] I have always love fitness, sports, and exercise.

My entire life I've always been overlooked as I grew up very skinny. Throughout the years, I tried many different sports: Football, soccer, baseball, and hockey. While I played all these sports, I was never really any "good" at any of them, I was just decent. The one factor however, was that I NEVER quit. I've always put my 100% into everything that I do, whether I'm good at it or not. As an adult

I've experience a multitude of injuries, with the most severe being a broken neck. With that said, I've had to start over more times than I'd like to count. It's disheartening when you are at a level you've worked for, for so long only to have an injury happen. The difference between a champion and someone else, HARD WORK! That is my motto in life and what I instill into my clients no matter your goals. Put in the work, be consistent, reap the benefits. I am here to help all lifestyles and all levels of fitness. Past injuries, beginners, advanced, fat loss, HIIT, powerlifting, bodybuilding, Cross fit, you name it and I CAN help you. At the end of the day it is always You vs You, if you work hard you will make a positive change in your life, because Hard Work WORKS!

How to: Face Pulls
If you have constantly achy shoulders, this one is for you!

Additionally, if your shoulders are constantly achy I would recommend doing double the volume for upper back work amount that you do pressing work. I had to learn that the hard way over many years in my 20s. Trust me your shoulders will thank you if you focus more on posterior chain a.k.a. backside.

You don’t need a lot of weight for face pulls, drop your ego and stop using your arms to pull.

Stay Strong, Good Journey 🤙

Shoutout to Trigger Warning Conjugate™ on this one

This is a top tier hamstring/low back movement that I used to train my hamstring while rehabbing my QL/hip injury last year and could not deadlift/hip hinge. I continue to use it for myself and my clients as either a warm up prior to squat/deadlift or as a finisher after a lower body focused training session.

Work up to 4x25 and your hammies will be feeling greeeeaassssssy

Hope that helps

Stay Strong, Good Journey 🤙

Start with your bodyweight and work into what your current range of motion is. We are going into a controlled “flexion” of the low back, so if you are new to this take your time and stop if you feel any pulling/tug sensation.

Beginners- start with just bodyweight x 1-2 sets of 10-20 (total) rep

If you are experienced with proper hip hinge mechanics 2-4 x rep or distance based

1 of the keys to success in your fitness journey is finding ways to target a muscle group when you have an injury or a flare up (autoimmune conditions, arthritis etc).

I (personally) refuse to have the word “can’t” in my vocabulary. To me, there is ALWAYS a way and ALWAYS some variation of a movement that we can find to target the intended muscle. Maybe that’s an isometric, maybe it’s a band with an awkward set up.

At the end of the day, finding ways to work around your injuries/flare ups will build your mental fitness as well as your physical fitness.

Refuse to be soft. Refuse to be weak. Refuse to be fragile. Refuse to let setbacks/injuries/detours define what you’re capable of.
