Mr. Chen’s

I’m at a Chinese restaurant and I’m getting the steamed chicken, steamed broccoli, and brown rice. That’s because it’s not a special occasion, it’s just another day in the ‘hood.

When it’s not a special occasion we’re eating minimalistic. Focus on lean protein and veggies when we go out to eat. Even with the veggies, make sure they’re not drenched in oil.

If it IS a special occasion, which will be ~50 days out of the year, prepare for it. Get what you want, but compensate with your meal choices throughout the rest of the day.

Seated Face Pulls

Seated face pulls are the only way to do face pulls because otherwise people ego lift when they do this exercise. They put too much weight on the stack and they lean back rather than working their rear delts.

If you do a bicep curl and you can’t feel your biceps, there’s a problem. But people do face pulls all the time and can’t feel their rear delts and then act like they just accomplished something.

Enter the seated face pull, where you can’t egregiously lean back and you have to actually focus on using your rear delts. When I’m doing this I really focus on pulling my elbows apart and staying braced in my abdominals.

Client spotlight: Charlie

Client spotlight: Charlie Rusch @charlayyyroosch is a coaching client on @getverb who lost 45lbs in 7 months working with me. Here’s what he had to say about the experience:

“Jacob has helped transform all aspects of my life. He helped install a game plan with a set goal in mind, and made it really easy to understand that sticking to the script will lead to results.

At the beginning, tracking meals, hitting protein goals and even staying in a calorie deficit was a challenge, but once I was acclimated it became second nature. I was able to make substitutions in my diet while still being able to eat the majority of foods that I enjoy. Finding lower calorie and higher protein food sources has become a fun part of my grocery hauls while also focusing on including high fiber sources. In terms of the workouts, he’s laid out specific plans tailored to my goals and helped me really dial in and get stronger over several months.

My conversations with Jacob have always been great and he’s always willing to point you in the right direction while encouraging you to push yourself harder. Thanks to the help from Jacob I’ve lost 45lbs, I have a lot more energy and focus, and I’ve been able to really change my habits and push myself to get better every day. The main thing that I’ve learned is that consistency is what ultimately leads to the result. I’ve cut back my alcohol intake and for the most part don’t let weekends take me off track.”

Promix Protein Puff Bars

@promix was kind enough to send me these delicious Blueberries & Cream Protein Puff Bars. These things taste like a Rice Krispie treat. There’s way less sugar and there are no artificial ingredients so clearly it doesn’t taste exactly like one, but come on, be realistic- they’re pretty damn close.

They’re 150 calories with 15g protein so these suckers pass the test (10g protein per 100 calories). They also have 4g of fiber while being, again, delicious. These are going to stay in my protein bar rotation permanently.
