Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. I worked on Saturday and then saw Crazy Rich Asians with Jon. We both loved it! Jon and I read the book before seeing the movie, which I would recommend. Tickets to see a movie in NYC are $16 which is crazy! I could buy the…

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. I had an amazing week of workouts this past week. One of my fitness goals for 2018 was to squat 200# which I did this week!! It surprisingly didn’t feel that heavy...well relatively. On my last birthday I failed an attempt at 185#, so I’ve gained…
Happy Monday! We had a nice weekend lifting with our friends at their gym and getting some delicious sushi after! We put in an application for an apartment in their building, so hopefully that will be our gym soon!! It's one of the best powerlifting gyms in NYC so we are very excited. It's so…
Happy Monday friends! Hope you all had a great weekend! We had a nice weekend with Jon's parents in town. We ate a lot of good food, so I should have some good workouts this week 😀 I had a solid week of workouts, it's amazing how being back into a routine and staying consistent…

This week was my last ever lift at Lifetime Fitness and I was quite sad, it’s been my favorite gym that I’ve belonged to. Jon and I both benched and had decent workouts. We were still recovering from the stomach bug and missed workouts so weren’t on our “A game”. Now that I’m healthy and…
This week I got a squat personal record of 190 pounds! It surprisingly didn't feel that hard at all. When I got my last PR it was a grinder for sure! I've gotten creative with my accessory movements and utilizing a lot of exercises on the cable machine and with dumbbells. I must say, the…
The key to having defined abs is truly diet related. Unfortunately, you can’t just do some crunches and have a six pack. However, I do believe that it’s important to do ab exercises and have a strong core. I only directly train abs maybe once a week, but when I do compound lifts such as…
This was my first week working out in NYC and it went very well. A year ago I could barely bench 115# for one rep, and this week I got three reps with 115#. I've consistently been on a program the past year with a goal of getting stronger. I held the vision of being…
