Realgood chicken

Product review: @RealGoodFoods lightly breaded chicken strips.

I was in @Costco the other day, looking to curb some of my fried chicken cravings and picked these up. The macros are 120 calories for 21g of protein. Whereas my usual go-to, the Kirkland brand chicken chunks, are 140 calories and 16g of protein.

How does the taste stack up? I like the taste, especially for the macros. I would definitely suggest air-frying these over baking because the breading gets a little crunchy and reminds me more of fried chicken.

At the end of the day, I’m still Kirkland chicken chunks but again, it’s not an apples to apples comparison.

Have you tried these? What do you think?

Saunas and strength training

I just got done training push day then hopped in my @SISU_sauna sauna.

Saunas may have a benefit in muscle retention and recovery – especially when used post-workout. People who follow a specific sauna protocol have a 16-fold increase in GH – even though that doesn’t have a direct link to muscle hypertrophy it does have benefits in fat lipolysis, collagen synthesis, and lean body mass.

I do believe there needs to be more research to the training benefits of saunas, however, there is a ton of evidence that it does help with health and longevity because it closely duplicates low-to-moderate intensity exercise.

Here is my current sauna protocol:
🔘 Post-workout
🔘 At least 20-minutes
🔘 200 degrees
🔘 Trying for after each weight training session, but consistently 4 days a week

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT: Being a badass in and out of the gym

Zemer Method: Coaching Client Spotlight – Ashley MacNeill. She’s a mother of two, has a demanding career in private equity, and is an absolute badass in and out of the gym. I have been working with Ashley for three years both in-person and through my Transformation Coaching via @getverb. She is always showing up for herself and her fitness goals. Here are some of her recent accomplishments:

✅ PR’d her marathon time in Berlin by 20 min which qualifies her for the Boston Marathon
✅ Dropped her alcohol consumption to less than 7 per week to prep for her marathon 
✅ Increased her pull-up PR to 10 in a row
✅ Balancing her diet and training with her demanding and travel dense career 

Ashley and I have been working together since June 2021. She came to me with goals of weight loss and improving her overall health markers. Not only is she one of the strongest clients I have (consistently lifting heavier than some of the men I train) – she is also cross-training effectively to knock her marathon race time out of the park.

Ashley is the perfect example of “nothing is impossible when it comes to your health.” She has an extremely busy career chock full with multiple dinners out a week and constant travel. She understands how important it is to prioritize your health and wellness goals. 

She’s an absolute badass, consistently showing up for herself and crushing her fitness goals through her dedication. Her commitment sets her apart and truly makes her stand out. I’m so proud of her hard work. I can’t wait to see you continue to crush it, Ashley!

Lever Arm Set-up and Review

In today’s video, I’m taking you through my home gym lever arm set-up.

What is a lever arm? This attachment pivots on a hinge, allowing you to push or pull the arm in various directions. It provides resistance similar to machines but with more versatility for multi-planar movements.

My lever arms consists of:
🔘 Rogue Fitness Monster LT-1 50 Cal Trolley 2.0 + Lever Arm Kit
🔘 Vendetta Strength and Athletics 180 Adapters for RG 2.0 Lever Arms
🔘 GymPin + Kaizen DIY Gym Jammer Arm Adapters
🔘 Mutant Metals custom handles

I built this lever arm attachment specifically to take the place of several pieces of equipment like incline press, decline press, flat press, machine low row, machine wide grip low row, etc.

In short… do I think this was a worthwhile investment? Yes.
