Weekly physique progress update (making this a thing!)

Got COVID this last week so I’m not feeling the best but didn’t miss a beat with training, diet, or coaching my clients

Weight: 195lbs average down 2lbs from 197lbs last week and noticing a little bit more leanness

Training: strength is still increasing steadily despite getting sick, being in a 1000+ calorie deficit, and feeling extra fatigue

Diet: 100% adherence, still losing weight really fast on 3300-3500 calories a day (I get 20k steps, do 25 minutes of zone 2 cardio, and lift for 2 hours a day on average). Losing my taste and smell made adherence to the deficit 100x easier 😂

Sleep; not great 3/10 bc of being sick and breathing becoming RPE 10, but hoping it improves as I kick the virus

Stress: 9/10 due to sickness, mental distress from not feeling good and losing taste/smell, and increase in work demands but again this should improve a lot as I get healthier. I can see the water retention in my physique rn from the higher stress rn but that’s also a part of dieting

No changes to this upcoming week. Just hoping I kick this COVID thing and will be continuing to diet until I feel satisfied with my leanness. I’m probably 8-9% body fat here but we must go further

Troubleshooting bench press programming is pretty similar to squat with the exception that bench usually needs a 3x+ frequency to thrive

and I talked a lot about bench press programming in the podcast we did together so I would definitely check that out when determining specific microcycle design for bench

With that being said, this is generally how you should alter the current bench microcycle design assuming it was working at one point before you completely redesign the microcycle

Theres not a lot of times I can say I’m proud of my physique but damn I’m proud of this shot lol

The best powerlifting coaches have systems for problem solving common issues lifters face in their training for each of the competition lifts.

Here’s how I tend to change training based off the feedback my lifters give me about their squat training.

Have questions or any input? LMK in the comments

“Right now is not the best time for me to invest in a fitness program - I’m SO BUSY all the time”
⁣
Totally understandable, so tell me 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦? 🤨⁣
⁣
When you put on 40 more pounds?⁣
When you can’t fit into any of your clothes?⁣
When you’re depressed with how you look?⁣
When you can’t keep up with your kids?⁣
When you’re still in the same spot you are now a year from now?
⁣
Nothing changes if nothing changes⁣
⁣
If not now, then when?
⁣
Do you want to continue on the same path you’re on?
⁣
Or do you want to take action and create a new path for yourself before it’s too late?⁣
⁣
Start right now. There will literally never be a “perfect time to start” anything.

The people you aspire to be like never waited for the perfect time to start moving towards their goals; they just fu***ng started.

And the worst case scenario you’re scared of is being in the exact same spot you are right now anyways.

So just start. Especially if it scares you, because being uncomfortable is where the most growth happens.

Amazing transformation by my client Miguel!

Before Miguel started working with me, he lacked confidence and would often feel a need to suck in his belly in public.

He was also working his ass off in the gym and just not going anywhere, running into injuries and feeling overly fatigued.

He was also stuck in the binge-restrict cycle of dieting and just felt trapped and like he was doomed to live the rest of his life like this.

When Miguel signed up to work with me, we completely revamped everything he was doing to make everything work more efficiently.

Now Miguel has tons of confidence due to the improvements he’s seen in his strength and physique.

He knows how to properly structure and execute his training so he can see results without getting hurt or dealing with tons of fatigue 24/7

He also has beaten the binge-restrict cycle and is now able to incorporate his favorite foods in his diet without guilt.

The results speak for themselves and are a reflection of the hard work both Miguel and I have put into this transformation.

If you’re looking to completely transform your physique in 2025 , experience insane strength gains in the gym, and regain your confidence—all in just 90 days—just comment “2025” and we can hop on a free strategy call where I can tell you exactly how I can help you

So many people think that training consistently is easy or that people like me are constantly motivated.

That couldn’t be further from the truth.

More often than not, your workouts will be mediocre, you’ll be tired, and sometimes it’s the last thing you’ll feel like doing.

I’ve learned to love the grind.

There is a reason why so many people struggle with their health and fitness.

We have busy lifestyles, unpredictable changes in our schedules, and constantly fluctuating levels of motivation.

This is why developing discipline and falling in love with the process is so important.

Commit to training a certain amount of times a week. Make those sessions non-negotiable. Track your workouts and the weights you used in them. Try to come back and improve on them. Commit to a sustainable diet that you enjoy and adhere to that.

Your health and fitness is too important to have it NOT be a priority. Take charge of your progress. You are 100% in control of whether or not you improve in the gym and outside of the gym.

Make the choice to get better. Make the choice to improve.

The gym can teach you so much about life in general and the power of consistency and being able to follow through with goals that aren’t always easy to reach. Make the choice to be the best version of yourself.. You will never regret it.

Imagine needing to edit your pictures to look lean 🤡

New low of 198.1lbs on the cut today. Strength hasn’t missed a beat in the past 4 weeks of dieting and hunger has been manageable.

I will continue to cut until my mom starts to bring me food bc she’s concerned about me

STOP FALLING FOR SHINY OBJECT SYNDROME!

If you actually want to get the physique you’ve always dreamed of, you have to be committed to going through all the phases you have to in order to achieve it.

There will be a ton of obstacles and distractions along your journey there, but you have to accept this and remain committed to the process and stop getting in your own way and just put in the HARD WORK, TIME, and MONEY it will take to get there.

And look, there is a VERY likely chance that if this is you, you’ve always let your ego hold you back by refusing to ask for help, trying to do everything on your own no matter what, and that is the number one reason why you’re STILL in the same spot you’ve always been and why NOTHING will change if you don’t make a change.

I have worked with a coach (coaches) to get where I am and having that person to guide me to where I needed to go was pivotal. SO, stop standing in your own way, swallow your ego, and reach out for help if you need it.

Are you paying attention to the thoughts in your head?

I had an awesome coaching call a few weeks back with one of my clients where I touched on this important concept; because if your mindset is out whack...

Then you might just default into negativity…

Which will sabotage your progress 100% of the time.

If you get stuck in that negative mindset, you’ll be easily tripped up and frustrated along the way...

Making it feel nearly impossible to push through to the next level and achieve your fullest potential.

If you haven’t honed in on the right mindset, then feeling stuck in a weight loss plateau or muscle/strength gain plateau can drive you nuts.

One thing is for sure: all of my clients who crush their fitness journeys have hacked into the right mindset to support their goals.

These are the people who think to themselves:

“Damn, I’m LOVING this journey”.

Allowing themselves to appreciate all the progress they’ve made, and visualize just how far they can take themselves.

They are loving every part of the process and living every day with purpose and drive.

Focusing on the process, trusting that it will get them to their big outcome goal.

That’s powerful.

I want you hacking into that winning mindset.

Where you can actually bust through any barrier.

Where there’s no plateau that is a match for you.

Want to learn how? Click the link in my bio or shoot me a DM to apply for my exclusive strength & physique coaching. Can’t wait for you to take this same winning energy into your life ;)

If there was one supplement everyone should take, it’s creatine ‼️

Beyond the performance benefits, it also has positive neural, cognitive, and inflammatory effects which make it an excellent supplement for anyone with a pulse.

It’s cheap, thoroughly studied, and simply works. If you’re not taking creatine you probably should

Wrist wraps can be a useful piece of equipment for lifters looking to lift the heaviest weights they possibly can.

Wrist wraps provide additional support and stiffness to the wrist joint, especially in an extended wrist position, which lifters will tend to find themselves in during a heavy bench press and squat, especially in the low bar squat position.

Wrist wraps can reduce the energy leak required to stabilize the wrist in an extended wrist position, as well as reduce the psychological stress that can be associated with having to focus on one additional variable outside of exerting maximal force into the bar, resulting in increased confidence and slightly more force production in some lifters from increased focus on the primary task at hand.

One mistake lifters make when using wrist wraps is failing to actually wrap their wrists and instead wrapping the end of the forearm. It is important to make sure you actually wrap around the wrist joint in order to get a performance benefit from using wrist wraps.

I personally use Mark Bell’s Gangsta Wrist Wraps but I also know that SBD makes high quality wrist wraps, so those brands would be my recommendations for lifters looking to invest.

Do you use wrist wraps in your training? Lmk in the comments below!

Thinking of stepping on stage for the first time next year. What do y’all think?

STOP LOOKING FOR THE QUICK FIX ALL THE TIME

Look, I get it. You want results right tf now.

And that’s great bc it shows you’re highly motivated

But the problem with that is that motivation only lasts for so long

What happens when that motivation runs out?

Well, because your process was unsustainable, you’re probably going to end up spinning your wheels never seeing the long term changes you really are after

That’s why I focus on creating sustainable habits and lifestyles for my clients

Bc if you fkn LOVE what you’re doing every step of your fitness journey, you’re never going to fall off the wagon

But if you feel like you’re trapped in a prison cell trying to reach your goals your results are only going to be temporary

So remember that. If you can’t see yourself doing what you’re doing long term, you should probably change your approach.

I’m in shape 24/7 bc I’ve created a system that I LOVE that allows me to make consistent improvements with a focus on making progress not only right now, but for the rest of my life.

If you want to know more about the systems I use to look like this, just comment “RESULTS”
