‘Inactive’ Muscles
The other day at the gym I was doing wide grip lat pulldowns, and a guy came over and asked, “Hey, how many sets you got left?” I told him, “Just one more” He said, “Cool,” grabbed a drink, and waited. After I finished, he came back with a smaller, close-grip handle and asked, “How…
Good, Better, Best
Someone commented on one of my videos the other day and said: “The leg extension is the best exercise for your quads.” And you know what? They might be right. But here’s the thing… I don’t have a leg extension machine at my studio. Sure, I can do a banded version—and it’s okay. But it’s not amazing. So…
Simple Success
A few years ago, I was stuck in the same cycle. I’d set a big goal—whether it was in fitness or business—feel motivated for a while, then eventually convince myself it was just too hard. I’d tell myself I wasn’t ready, that I needed a better plan, or that things just weren’t lining up the way…

This Doesn’t Matter
If I were your online coach, there are a few things I wouldn’t stress about when you’re following one of my programs. First—what time you train. Morning, noon, or night? Doesn’t matter to me. As long as you’re getting it done. Second—rearranging exercises. Yes, I program workouts in a certain order for a reason. But if a…
More Isn’t Better—Here’s Why
I overheard someone at the gym the other day flexing about how they work out two hours a day, six days a week. Look, I love commitment, but that’s not the flex they think it is—it’s just poor programming. Fatigue is real, and if you don’t manage it, your progress takes a hit. The longer…
