My Breakfast of Choice
I’m not super strict with how much or when I eat, I’m usually just conscious of the quality and type of food I consume. When it comes to breakfast I take one of two routes. 1. I skip it. Just water with electrolytes and then a coffee usually. 2. Or I eat a high protein breakfast. Either 4 eggs, couple servings of yogurt with some fruit (usually blueberries, raspberries or bananas), or Kodiak protein pancakes.

Killer Back Workout
I understand a lot of people in our community may not be into fitness, and that's okay. I do, however, want to stress the importance of taking care of yourself physically. It literally affects almost everything else in your life. It's not just about looking good. It's about FEELING GOOD. It's about DEVELOPING DISCIPLINE and RESILIENCE. It's about teaching yourself DELAYED GRATIFICATION. Most importantly, in my opinion, it's about BUILDING SELF-CONFIDENCE. Something slowly begins to change in your brain when you start consistently doing difficult things that you probably don't want to do. Don't get it twisted. There are VERY FEW days when I look forward to working out. Yearly, I can probably count those days on two hands. So why do I go? Because besides those reasons I mentioned above, I know that I don't feel good about myself when im not pushing myself in all areas of my life. The purpose of all life is constant growth and progression. And thats what the Academy of Adulting is all about! Feel free to reach out to me about any wellness, fitness, nutrition related advice. I am fully certified in all of those areas, and have been living this life for almost two decades. PS: The gym has been the first place I return to when recovering from many of the rock bottoms situations I've overcome in my life. I have also noticed that whenever I am not consistently exercising, other areas of my life become negatively affected as well.

Killer Chest Workout 🦍
Check out my video below to see an example of one of my chest days. Notice everything I do when lifting is always SLOW and IN CONTROL. It’s not about the reps, or even that much about the weight. You want to test yourself a little more each time but ultimately it comes down to TUT (TIME UNDER TENSION). Don’t let anyone tell you different. Feel free to reach out about any questions you may have.

🔑 Principles to Building Muscle (simpler than you think)
While I don't advertise it much on here, I am and ISSA Certified Elite Trainer and Nutritionist, so I know a thing or two about this stuff. I've also been living this life for two decades. So, every once in awhile, I like to add an informative value post like this one for the people in here looking to up their physical fitness. 1. Progressive Overload: Muscles grow when they are challenged beyond their current capacity. Gradually increasing the weight, intensity, or volume of your workouts encourages your muscles to adapt and grow. Do your last set until failure, just make sure you're safe. 2. Consistency is Key: Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is muscle. Stick to a regular workout routine that includes strength training at least 3-5 times a week. This shit don't happen overnight. Those savages you see in the gym have been doing this for years. Don't compare yourself to them. 3. Nutrition Matters: To build muscle, you need to fuel your body with the right nutrients. Prioritize lean protein sources, complex carbs, and healthy fats. Protein, especially, is crucial for muscle repair and growth. Aim for 1gram of protein to 1lb of body weight daily. Ex: If you weigh 150, you should take in as close to 150 grams of protein as possible every day. 4. Rest and Recovery: Muscle growth happens during rest, not during the workout. Ensure you're getting enough sleep and allowing muscle groups time to recover between workouts. Don't make the mistake many people make, and that I made for a decade. A rest day doesn't mean you're weak. Your body is not designed to push your physical limits every single day. 5. Mind-Muscle Connection: Focus on the muscles you're targeting. Engaging them deliberately while lifting can enhance muscle activation and growth over time. "Energy flows where your attention goes", in every aspect of life. 6. Stay Hydrated: Hydration plays an essential role in muscle recovery and performance. Drink plenty of water to optimize energy levels and maintain muscle function. Gallon a day is the goal. It's okay to fall short at 3/4, but make it a priority. Buy a larger water bottle. Trust me it makes it so much easier. I also suggest adding natural sodium and electrolytes. I use Redmond Re-Lyte, all natural, recommended by the best in the nutrition game. Hit me up if you want the link.

Conscious Consumption
It’s vital to be conscious of what you consume, not just in the food you eat, but in the “entertainment” you consume. You may not realize it immediately, but it will eventually take a toll on your health.
