Have You Earned the Right To Go Into a Bulk Phase? Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

If you're thinking about doing a bulking or building phase when it comes to your training and nutrition, I want to share some truths with you. The biggest one being that bodybuilding is an extreme sport and you're putting your body under stressors it wasn't designed for from a day to day perspective. That's not to say you can't have great success with a bulk phase but you need to be ready for it. I want to share some of factors that will lead to great bulk phase and really consider whether you're ready or what you need to do in order to be ready.

Genetics or Environment? Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

I recently had a conversation with one of my clients that sparked this conversation and it has to do with this concept of a fixed vs a growth mindset specifically when it comes to fitness and health. What do I mean? Have you ever blamed your family genetics on why you don't have the body you want? Did you grow up in a household that taught you food restriction and you are continuing those lessons and not adopting new ones? It's easy to blame outside circumstances but you won't get the result you want by doing that. I will share my experience and how I adopted a growth mindset when it comes to my family food culture and my overall health and fitness.

Busy vs Productive Sep 26, 2022

Show notes

Are you moving the needle forward or merely being busy?

Busy can feel like productivity but when you take a step back, you'll notice something. You have the same results, same excuses, and you've constantly jumped from one diet or exercise plan to another. If this sounds like you, it's okay! I've been there too and it's not too late to recognize this and make a change!

I want to share with you some common busy vs productive actions I see with client's and in my own experience in the past, share what the big rocks you need to focus on and be productive with in your nutrition and exercise, and WHY PERFECTIONISM IS AN EXCUSE!

Setting up Smart Training - Learning about working different muscle lengths & optimizing hypertrophy Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

Today's episode I break down what it means when people talk about exercises working a lengthened, mid, or short/contracted position of the muscle. Why should you care?! Because research shows that working muscle at certain lengths can provide more muscle growth. THATS AWESOME!

The second half of the episode I give you advice on how to utilize this information when writing your own programming.

I breakdown programming into...

Primary exercises
Supportive exercises
Accessory exercises (only really needed for specialized training programming)

This simple breakdown allows us to choose smart movements and not fill our programming with a bunch of junk volume.

For those of you who would rather have someone else do all the thinking for you, click HERE to sign up for my optimized training programs. Train Smart! :)

Messy Days are Okay Sep 16, 2022

Show notes

We are all human. We all have messy days. Don't let them break your emotional health.

I actually believe that people get caught in the cycle of bad nutritional days all the time because they don't allow themselves to embrace the freedom that can come from the messy day. They get caught up in a should-storm of shame and judgement. The messy day can be used to help get them back on track and enjoy the process more if they emotionally learn to handle it better.
