What’s the difference between Kirkland and Bumblebee tuna?

Well you’re not surprised that the Kirkland brand is cheaper, but you may be surprised that there’s actually more tuna per can.

What is probably the most shocking is that they are both made by Bumblebee tuna. This is the case with a lot of Kirkland signature brands, they’re actually made by highly reputable companies at a lower price point on the shelves at Costco.

I myself will never eat tuna again because I grew up poor and ate way too much of it in high school in order to build my budding muscles.

If you’re pyramiding your weight through the course of training and not challenging yourself to the last set, you’re never going to see the results you’ve always wanted.

Let’s say we do 3 sets as follows:
Set 1: 100lbs for 10 reps
Set 2: 140lbs for 10 reps
Set 3: 180lbs for 10 reps
If I can complete all of these sets with these weights, then I should’ve been using 180lbs for all 3 of my working sets.

A better way to train is the following:
Set 1: 180lbs for 10 reps, pretty difficult
Set 2: 180lbs for 10 reps, very difficult
Set 3: 180lbs for 10 reps, near impossible

One challenging set of an exercise is not enough to get the body you’ve always wanted.

Cashews are an amazing source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. They are also a modest source of protein.

I love to keep healthy snacks with me for when I’m on the go. I keep protein bars, a case of water, and a couple other snacks in the trunk of my car. No junk in this trunk.

An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

Client spotlight: Clayton is a coaching client on @getverb and trains with me in person. He’s lost over 50lbs with me in the past 5 months.

“I had pretty much hit rock bottom with my health and weight. Being in the restaurant business, my working life revolves around food. My relationship with the bar, restaurant, ice cream shop and movie theater concessions stand was unhealthy. A quick drink or two at the bar turned into late night second dinners then a stop at the ice cream shop for a quick scoop or two or a milkshake. I had given up even trying and was just stuffing myself full and chasing sugar crashes with more sugar. But then I ran into a friend who described how he got results with Jacob’s guidance and I reached out. I was looking to just be better.

Tracking calories changed everything for me. The unthoughtful eating at all hours of the day and night turned into better decisions and eventually no decisions at all. The accountability of tracking calories for daily check ins on what was consumed the day before really helped get it in line. Adding the purposeful strength and cardio plans Jacob provided to achieve discussed goals led to making better choices.

I like his kind but firm and no-nonsense approach to everything as well as his bottomless depth of nutritional knowledge to answer questions I had throughout the day.”

God knows my comments section is aware of how tight my jeans are. I attribute machines like the glute drive and booty builder to some of that success.

As much as I love a barbell hip thrust, there’s just way too much setup. And when I’m determining exercise selection, I look at how much foreplay is involved. The booty builder seen here lets me get down and dirty with just a couple simple adjustments.

The closer in my legs are, the more my knees are forced to bend, the more quad engagement I’ll get. The further away, the more hamstring engagement I’ll get. I use the booty builder at least once a week in my programming.
