TRANSFORMATION: Ava

Client spotlight: Ava has been training hard and heavily focused on her diet this semester. Ava had the goal of adding 10lbs of muscle to her frame, she is 5’10 and very active. We worked hard to increase her day to day calories.

The result is she is up 5 lbs of lean mass since the beginning of the year and looks and feels the best she ever has. Ava has a remaining goal of 5lbs of muscle to add. This will probably take her into next year with consistent training and focusing on eating 2400 calories a day.

Amazing work, Ava. All your dedication is paying off.

LEG WORKOUT FOR RUNNERS

Building strength and staying healthy while running 💪

🏃🏻Band Walks – While running you are constantly raising one leg then the other, healthy glutes that activate when you push through the ground to move are pivotal.
🏃🏻 Hexbar Deadlift – Nothing strengthens all of the muscles of your back (the posterior chain) like the deadlift. The hexbar offers all the rewards with less risks.
🏃🏻 Reverse Lunge – build stability and strength in the entire lower body. It also helps develop mobility in the big toe and ankle. Essential for runners.
🏃🏻 Quad / Hip Stretch – Tight hips flexors, quads, adductors and calves are par for the course as runners. You need to handle them before they handle you.

Popcorn Review: Pop Secret, Skinny Pop, Skinny Girl

Popcorn. I love it. I use in when dieting before bed to help me feel full and just fight off any cravings. It’s relatively low in calories / harmless.

Pop Secret has 90 calories a bag. Homestyle. Sea Salt. kettle corn. It taste delicious. It should be marketed as a diet food.

Skinny Pop has 165 calories a bag. It taste like diet pop corn. #basic

Skinny Girl has 150 calories a bag, and the bag is small 🥵 It the worst tasting of the three 🤬

I’M 240 LBS & RUNNING A MARATHON 🏃‍♂️

YES I’M 240 LBS & RUNNING A MARATHON. #bigmenrunning 🏃‍♂️

People keep asking me “Jake, why are you running?” “What’s with the running, Jake?”

The reality is I ask clients every day to take on new tasks and start forming habits in order to change their lives. I ask clients to take it on one day at time and to trust me through all of it.

Running a marathon is an exciting challenge for me; I don’t find it the least bit overwhelming. I just put it in my focus, commit resources to it and trust the process. I know how to design, adjust and recovery from training.

I have never had an interest in running before last month. I haven’t ever been interested in being a runner before. This is what I do, I get people to leave their comfort zone .

TRANSFORMATION: Thad, Will & Pete

Brothers who barbell clean together stay together 💪.

Clients spotlight: Thad, Will & Pete. Brothers/brother-in-law who all work with me; these three decided to get serious about barbell cleans a couple of months ago in the past week they all hit PRs on the movement.

Thad came to me never having hit beyond 145 lbs this past week he hit 190 lbs at a body weight of ~152 lbs.

Will’s personal record was 185 lbs, last week he hit 205 lbs, and this week he got 225 lbs easy.

Peter had done 225 lbs before, but in recent years hadn’t lifted beyond 135 on a bar and mostly just ran. He PR’d 245 lbs this week.

Clients routinely come in to see me to change their bodies, perform at new levels and feel better.

WHY YOU MUST TIME YOUR PROTEIN

NUTRIENT TIMING is essential for building muscle 💪..

Simplified protein does store in your body, it either converts to amino acids or glucose. Clients who are seeking to build muscle need to 4-5 meals daily.

CALORIES is KING. It is the most essential aspect of nutrition. PROTEIN is essential for body composition. .6 – 1 gram per pound of body weight depending on your goals. These are your priorities; however, if you want to build muscle nutrient timing is part of the games.
