You know that I love vegetables, but coleslaw is not a vegetable, it’s a fat. You think it’s just cabbage, right? But cabbage doesn’t have 400 calories per cup. This sucker is a fat.

My suggestion to you is always stay informed about what you’re eating. Check the labels. Do a Google search.

I liked coleslaw, but not at 400 calories a cup. That’s a Haagen-Dazs kinda love.

This is how I would warm up for a pull day:

Let’s say my first exercise is supinated pull downs. I’m going to warm up with that same exercise, simply using lighter weight.

1️⃣ Warm up set #1 is ~33% of the working weight you plan to use that day, followed by a 1.5-2 minute break

2️⃣ Warm up set #2 is ~66% of the working weight, followed by a 1.5-2 minute break

3️⃣ After my warm up sets, I start my working sets, which will be the same exercise I warmed up with. At that point I should be training very intensely, near to failure.

@fiberone is a national brand. I personally am team @missionfoodsus Carb Balance wraps because they have twice as much fiber as Fiber One. But this is a great alternative if you don’t have access to the Mission brand.

They’ve got 70 calories, 7g fiber, and 5g fat- all things considered, bonkers macros. Having a sense of normalcy while dieting is pivotal. This product will allow you to hit your goals while having a lunch or dinner fajita. Here’s to sustainable dieting.

Training at home can be difficult, especially when you have limited equipment. I’m going to show you how to take any pair of dumbbells and instantly make your chest presses more difficult.

1️⃣ Take the band in both of your palms and loop it around your back

2️⃣ Put the dumbbells in your hands with the band still around your palms

3️⃣ Proceed to press as normal

As the band lengthens, tension will increase. As the band shortens, your muscles will have to accommodate the resistance. This will make your press much more challenging. My app is now live if you’re looking for help training in any environment. Link in bio.

Here’s a list of five protein bars I would recommend to clients:

1️⃣ @barebells – This is the most candy bar-tasting protein bar on the list. If you think about what a protein bar should taste like this is probably it.

2️⃣ @builtbar – I love the macros on these suckers. They’re so low calorie and so high protein. But for some people they’re a bit too chewy, a bit like a Milky Way.

3️⃣ @one1brands – This bar isn’t talked about enough. It’s got a slightly firm texture but not too firm, and it’s got excellent macros.

4️⃣ @questnutrition – Super high in fiber, very firm texture, just for legacy alone this bar deserves to be on the list.

5️⃣ @nocow – I had to give you guys a plant-based option, and this is by far the best tasting with the best macros.

Client spotlight: Sara Lessler @lesslersara is a coaching client on @getverb who lost 25lbs working with me. Here’s what she had to say about the experience:

“I was not happy with the way I looked and felt. I was the heaviest I had ever been. I needed to find someone with drive and determination to get me going on the journey of getting healthier. My brother, Nate, got me in contact with Jacob. He said, ‘This is the guy for you. He will help you.’

Not only did Jacob help me lose the weight with food choices and exercise, I have learned about how to choose the foods I eat, including which foods are high in protein and fiber. He supported me through the whole process, the ups and downs.

I am ecstatic to say I reached my goal, I look great, I feel great, and I am motivated to continue moving and exercising. Jacob is the whole package- accountability, knowledgeable, trusting, and just a great person to work with. Thank you Jacob, you ROCK!”
