What you looking at? đ
Thanks for judging me last week and for taking all of the photos . Excited to see what 23.2 will be!
These events are going to be a bit of a discovery piece for me this year đ§đŹ
I didnât qualify for the quarterfinals. I missed out by 1.1%. In order to make up that 1.1% for next year I need to know where I need to make up the most ground against the rest of the world đȘ
Does qualifying for the quarterfinals mean anything in the grand scheme of things? Absolutely not. It certainly doesnât make anyone a better human being.
However as a competitor who always wants to get better and work on my weaknesses and knowing how close I was, gives me a goal to shoot for for next year. And there is something to be said about setting goals and achieving them đŻđȘ
So here we go. Weakness #1 found⊠Time to work on some HSPU stamina đ€žââïž

đ„BOOMđ„
These are the comments I love hearing from my clients. This is why I do what I do right here in a nutshell.
Alleviating chronic aches and pains by doing mobility and strengthening exercises that are right for your body is totally possible!
It wonât happen overnight. But give me 90 days to work with you and I am very confident youâll be in a better place than where you started.

đ€ Nose Only Breathing đ€
This is something we have been preaching on for years as coaches at
For those of you that may not know the 2022 Open started this week. The first workout was 15 minutes of constant high intensity movement. 3 Wall Walks, 12 DB snatches and 15 Box Jump Overs.
Itâs a workout that would have been really easy to have gased out on early. Nose only breathing helps you from coming too hot out of the gate. Itâs a great gauge. If you can maintain a decently high level of output while nose breathing, you can âopen the tankâ (mouth) at the end and finish strong.
That was my strategy. I breathed nose only until the 11:30ish mark, then tried to speed up and just hold on for the last few minutes.
As someone who, in the past, has gone way too hard too fast on workouts like this, I was very happy with the result!
Moral of the story is try some nose only breathing! It may just help put some better scores on the board đȘ

âïžEnvironment > Motivation đ
This was more or less the set up during lockdown #1. I had some equipment from in my garage and a couple workout buddies in and
There were days where I wasnât motivated and I really didnât feel like working out. But the equipment was so easily accessible, the workout was pre made and I knew I had friends coming to workout with me every day around 4:30.
During lockdown #2 I had some equipment (not as much), it was still easily accessible, but I didnât have any workout partners. Some days I was motivated, some days I wasnât. On the days I didnât feel motivated I didnât work out.
There were a few lessons learned here:
1) The environment you create to make healthy habits easy to do is WAY more important than your motivation
2) Motivation is fleeting. It comes and goes. Use it to your advantage when you have it, but when itâs gone you must learn self discipline.
3) Discipline is following through even when you donât feel like it. Itâs a decision every single day.
4) Dedicate one room, or one space, to a specific activity. This helps create a separate environment for separate purposes.
If your motivated right now and are looking to create some self discipline, I have 2 PT spots open for February. DM me âDISCIPLINEâ and lets get started!
Is specialization hurting you? đ€
The human body moves predominantly in 7 different ways:
1 - Squat
2 - Hinge
3 - Push
4 - Pull
5 - Flexion + Extension
6 - Rotation (or resisting rotation)
7 - Lateral movement
We need capacity in all of these areas and quite often sport specific training doesnât cover all of them. However, if you neglect other movement patterns that are essential to human movement we create imbalances. When we combine chronic overload (too much of a certain movement) with imbalances, we put ourselves at a higher risk of injury.
For years I really only trained squatting and jumping. It took a while, but through a lot of hard work I am now balanced between my deadlift and squat. My back, knees and hips all feel better now but I know I could have saved myself some pain and time had I done a well balanced program from the start.
If you need any help with you rehab/prehab process, send me a DM and we can find a time to chat đ
