Browsing the supplement aisle at @Costco… and honestly, it’s hit or miss.

If you’re shopping for supplements here, let me break down what to grab—and what to skip:

🔹 CoQ10 – While Costco carries CoQ10 for heart health, Ubiquinol (the active form of CoQ10) is far more bioavailable and effective. If heart health is your focus, skip the CoQ10 and order Ubiquinol from a trusted supplement retailer.

🔹 Turmeric – Costco offers plenty of turmeric supplements, but Curcumin (the active compound in turmeric) is where the real benefits lie. Curcumin is a potent antioxidant that supports heart health, so opt for a curcumin supplement for better absorption and efficacy.

🔹 Fish Oil – Costco’s fish oil selection is all over the place—some great, some not so much. @SportsResearch is the one to grab. It clearly breaks down EPA and DHA content, which is crucial for understanding what you’re getting.

🔹 Creatine Monohydrate – This is a win! Costco now stocks creatine monohydrate, a well-researched, effective supplement that’s great for strength, muscle growth, and performance. Definitely worth adding to your daily routine.

Costco can be a convenient spot for supplements, but knowing what to look for (and what to avoid) makes all the difference!

The first step in my journey with the Executive Health Scan at Fountain Life was a comprehensive brain and full-body MRI.

From the very beginning, I was eager to dive into this process, curious about the insights these advanced scans would uncover. Now, I’m ready to share it all with you—every detail of my experience and results.

In this video, I’m pulling back the curtain and going in-depth about my MRI results: the good, the bad, the ugly… and yes, even the scary moments. From my experience in the MRI machine to unpacking the test results, it’s an eye-opening journey you won’t want to miss.

How to train your chest… effectively:

1️⃣ Focus on compound movements
2️⃣ Emphasize the stretch portion of the lift
3️⃣ Understand the anatomy of the chest
4️⃣ Vary the angles of your lifts
5️⃣ As always, focus on:
🔘 Progressive overload – Gradually increase the weight you lift. This challenges your muscles and forces them to grow. Aim to increase the weight or the number of reps each week.
🔘 Training near to failure – Focus on lifting with high intensity. Aim to stay within an RIR (Reps In Reserve) range of 1-2 or an RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) of 8-10.
🔘 Rest and recovery – Ensure you have adequate rest between sets and workouts. Muscles grow during rest, so don’t neglect your recovery time. Aim for at least 72 hours of rest before working the chest again.
🔘 Nutrition – Proper nutrition is key to muscle growth. Ensure you’re consuming enough protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. If you aren’t hitting your protein goal, simply increase the portion size of proteins in each meal. For example, if you’re currently eating 6oz of protein, boost that to 8oz. If you still aren’t hitting your protein target, consider supplementing with shakes and protein bars.
🔘 Consistency – Stay consistent with your workouts and nutrition. Results take time, so keep at it and stay patient.

Fitness has always been a cornerstone of my life, shaping not just my career but my everyday routines. For the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of being a premier trainer in the NYC area, working with clients to help them achieve their fitness goals.

Recently, I took on a new project—building out a garage gym. For anyone who’s done this, you know the challenge lies in finding equipment that strikes the perfect balance between functionality and space efficiency. I had a checklist in mind:

✅ Compact footprint to maximize space
✅ Multifunctional to cover a variety of exercises
✅ Intuitive and easy to use
✅ Tough enough to match the intensity of my training

That’s why I was immediately drawn to @FreakAthlete.co’s Hyper Pro. It hits every mark. The fact that it can literally be rolled away when not in use was a game-changer for my setup. Plus, its adjustability allows me to seamlessly adapt it to my workouts. The Hyper Pro isn’t just versatile – it essentially replaces nine different machines and unlocks over 25 exercise variations.

For anyone looking to optimize their home gym without sacrificing performance, this piece of equipment is an absolute must have.
