Only OG’s will understand.
What’s your go-to preworkout these days?

This is about more than bench arches.
I've been blessed to work with a lot of lifters at this point. Many of them are women.
And I keep hearing that one of the biggest barriers to them getting in the gym was fear of judgement.
Can you imagine wanting to get in the gym after getting inspired by watching IPF Worlds?
Seeing some strong ass women doing strong ass things and want to be part of that too?
And then to run face first into comments that disparage, break down and build barriers?
We gotta do better. Better for everyone, but this is a thing that affects women more.
There's too much at stake. Worse yet, these barriers get built for no other reason than to protect fragile egos.
If egos gotta break to make room for more people in the gym, I'm cool with that.
Share if you agree.

Your program probably isn’t the reason your lifts stalled out.
Every now and then I see a really terribly written program and it hurts my soul. But most are decent.
So why is it that so many lifters run decent-looking programs and wind up with nothing to show for it after 8-12 weeks?
Look at the best lifters in the world and what they have in common.
The biggest thing is they have a coach or coaches behind them to guide, support and push.
Find me a national or world champion who just runs a templated program solo.
Because at a certain point it’s not just about the words and numbers on a page.
It’s about getting feedback on what you’re doing well and what to focus on next.
Someone who can tweak things along the way so you stay in the pocket and keep adding weight to the bar.
It’s about having someone you trust tell you when to cool your jets and when to put the pedal down.
That’s what a template or AI program will never be able to do.
So if you feel like you’re stuck and you've only run templates, it’s time for a change.
It might feel a little new and scary, but it’ll be worth it when the gains start rolling in again.
Shout out to smoking this squat at his last meet! Stay tuned to hear more about why this is a big deal in the next post!

If you’ve been hurt 2 or more times by a lift, you need to ask why.
But don’t stop doing it. That’s where most lifters get it wrong.
And it’s not their fault. It seems like every health professional says lifting heavy will break you.
I call BS.
Instead, you need to look for patterns. Do certain weights on the bar hurt? Certain volumes?
Does it have more to do with position, ROM or speed? All these are pieces of the puzzle.
When I kept hurting my back on deadlifts, I realized that it was when the bar got to my mid-shin.
My back would round off the floor and when it got a few inches up, my back would say “Nah.”
That gave me the tools I needed to train in a way that turned my weak point into my strong suit.
What if the lift you’re scared of turned into the one you were most excited to train?
How would it feel if you stopped being afraid of getting hurt in the gym?
If your only worry was whether you're gonna PR by 5 or 10 lbs this week?
There’s a way to do it that doesn’t involve time off from the gym, PT appointments or Instagram mobility drills.
If you want in on it, DM me “LIFT” and I’ll send it over!
