I’m at @GreenLifeNY in Mamaroneck, NY.

Green Life is my preferred meal prep company for a multitude of reasons but here are some of my favorites:

1️⃣ Fresh, never frozen meals – I’ve tried many meal prep companies and while the food is fine, nothing beats FRESH meals. Fresh meals means you will reach for this far more often when it comes time to eat.

2️⃣ Supporting local – There are so many great food options in New York. Supporting local means that I can build relationships with the owners, know exactly what I’m buying and who I’m buying it from, and enjoy the best that Westchester has to offer (Best of Westchester winners!)

3️⃣ Accuracy with nutrition – I vet every meal prep company I try. Here’s what you do: take the food out of the containers, weigh it all out, log it as accurately as you can, and compare your findings with the nutrition label. You would be surprised how far off these labels are.

Even if you don’t live in New York, I would urge you to look for a local meal prep company for the reasons listed above.

Client Spotlight: Eddie, @Erod624, is a @getverb client who has lost 23 lbs in just 4 months.

He wanted to be in the best shape of his life for his wedding. Eddie is absolutely the type of client you want as a coach. Puts his head down and does the task at hand and repeats each week. We had to work through meals out and beverages with the boys, but even through wedding season we were able to find the balance and rise up.

Here are some of his successes:

✅ Lost 23 lbs in 4 months
✅ Trains 6 times a week really focusing on pushing intensity with each session. Found a love again for training and quickly went from a 4 day plan to a 6 day plan.
✅ Implemented a step goal even though he works outdoors we realized how much truly measuring movement makes a difference.

Most people reach their fitness goals when they have someone holding them accountable. For Eddie, this was the key factor in achieving his goals for his wedding. His discipline paid off, and looks incredible on his wedding day. Drop a 💯 if you agree.

This is what Eddie has had to say about the journey so far: “I’ve gain and lost weight before but never really pushed myself or stayed consistent enough to really reach the next level. You have helped me with staying accountable and giving me the tools to reach the next level. You have also completely changed the way I look at dieting after having it wrong for so many years. I have worked out the majority of my life and at the age of 37 I can say I’m in the best shape of my life and I owe a lot of that to this program.”

The Zemer Method is all about finding balance in your day to day while also creating memories. We find a sustainable approach to achieve the goals you set forth!

Cannot wait for Phase 2 with Eddie as we dive into a lean bulk!

Here’s my review of the Rep Fitness Selectorized Functional Trainer with Power Rack.

This machine is the cornerstone of my home gym, and it’s a part of every workout I do.

In this video, I’m sharing my honest thoughts on the equipment—what I love about it and what, if anything, I would change.

Spoiler: I’m a big fan of this rack, but there are a few key factors you should consider before deciding if it’s the right foundation for your home gym.

I’m @trxtraining certified, motherf***ers.

A lot of people are surprised by that. But I think this piece of equipment is an absolute game changer, especially at home.

For an in-home setup, it allows a lot of variety in terms of back and abdominal training. Even at a commercial gym, I love the abdominal exercises you can do on this apparatus.

I have one in my home gym and I consider it an absolute necessity. For a more detailed look at my home gym, visit my Youtube channel for my Home Gym 1.0 walkthrough.

We’re at @Costco checking out Kirkland’s Signature whey protein powder.

This is now your price-per-pound protein champion🏆

It comes in at roughly $9 per pound of protein and 60 cents per scoop (if your bag of protein even comes with the scooper😂).

Let’s compare:
🔘 @Ascent_Protein – $13/pound or $1.67/scoop
🔘 @OptimumNutrition – $11.50/pound or $1.55/scoop

With 130 calories and 25g of protein per serving, the macros definitely pass the test. As for the taste? It’s not top-tier, but it’s totally fine. Whether you mix it with milk or water, it has a decent flavor.

My guess? This is likely Optimum Nutrition whey protein with Kirkland Signature branding. It’s not on the level of @PEScience, @IsopureCompany, or @QuestNutrition, but for the price, it’s a solid option.

Is the @RogueFitness Monster Rhino Belt Squat worth buying?

Now live on my Youtube channel is my FULL review about this piece of equipment. I talk about cost, floor space, assembly, and what I like and dislike about this machine.

I also compare the Rogue belt squat with the @HammerStrengthOfficial belt squat and the @Arsenal_Strength belt squat which are two pieces of equipment I have used countlessly throughout my training.

Client Spotlight: Jeffie is a @getverb client who has lost 26 lbs on coaching in just 3 months. His lifestyle has completely transformed, and he’s now entering a maintenance phase. Here are some of his successes:

✅ Lost 26 lbs in 3 months
✅ Works out 4 times a week
✅ Hits 15,000 steps daily

Jeffie is highly coachable. We focused on nutrient-dense, high-volume, and low-calorie foods to reach his weight loss goal. When he started coaching, he was only doing bodyweight exercises, and he responded well to feedback and has greatly improved his form.

The next steps for Jeffie’s journey include completing a successful maintenance period before moving into a lean bulk so that he can build muscle mass. He has been awesome to work with and we can’t wait to see him continue to grow.

Chatting with my good friend @jonbakerlab who has a PhD in both Microbiology and Immunology. Today, we’re talking about his life’s work: microbiome.

Many people hear microbiome and think specifically about gut health; however, the truth it that microbiomes exists all over our bodies and in different systems.

Time under tension doesn’t do 💩

People still talk about time under tension like it hasn’t been blown to pieces 💥 over the past decade. The study cited below compared doing repetitions that took 3 seconds to repetitions that took 6 seconds and found no significant differences between the two groups. They both built muscle. This was a controlled study and these results have been duplicated in other studies. Meaning time under tension doesn’t do 💩

Far more important than the tempo of your repetition is that the exercise is pain free, that you feel the intended muscle and you are able to get stronger on the exercise over time.

Heading into @Popeyes for a diet-friendly hack!

Here’s what I ordered:

🔘 5 blackened chicken tenders – 280 cals, 43g protein
🔘 Side of mashed potatoes – 110 cals, 3g protein
🔘 Skip the biscuit!
🔘 All in – 390 cals, 46g protein

If you want to add sauce to your meal, pay attention to the calories in the different flavors. This sweet heat sauce is 40 calories so it would take my total to 430 cals and 46g protein… which STILL passes The Test!

This is a phenomenal option when considering this is fast food… The meal also came with a soda so I opted for a Diet Dr. Pepper because it’s the GOAT of diet sodas🐐
