Thoughts about working out when sick: I often think that getting sick is a sign from my body to take a break and take some rest. It’s a great time to get some extra sleep I’ve been neglecting. When I have a cold I like to take a few days off to give my body…

here Sometimes it's hard to do a workout with different equipment when the gym is crowded. I've learned how to complete different exercises with the same piece of equipment so I don't have to wait for someone else to finish up their workout. This workout only uses a kettlebell, but you can substitute always substitute…
Granite City is one of my go-to restaurants in Michigan. I go pretty frequently for work and there's one by my house. The past month and a half I went three times, and for the first time ever, got something different each time. If you know me, then you know there's a 99% chance I…
What should you eat before your workout? The purpose of a preworkout snack is to provide energy for a workout, so it’s best to eat something easily digestible that’s higher in carbs. Carbs are the best source of energy and are generally the easiest nutrient to digest. I usually workout first thing in the morning,…

This weeks workout was a little different for me because I took last Sunday off. To stay on track with my program I had to fit in my last lift from the prior week, and all five workouts of my current week. That means that I squatted 4 TIMES this week #woof. Luckily for me…
My trip to NYC started a little rocky as I realized I forgot my license at home. Luckily my dad was driving me, and my sister was able to bring my ID (thanks dad and Kris!). Luckily I made it to my gate right as my plane was boarding. I've never missed a flight and didn't want…
I saw Black Tap on Instagram and was mesmerized by the outrageous looking milkshakes. My sister Kris went there when she visited NYC and sent me some drool worthy snaps. I knew that Jon and I had to go the next time I was in NYC. The weather was pretty terrible, it was rain/snowing…
This weeks workouts felt really good. I didn’t do much accessory work so that I could give my body a chance to recover from these tough lifts. I still have one workout of the program left to do this week. On Sunday Jon and I decided to get caught up on This Is Us instead…
