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…
I've got another fully body workout for you to try on your own. What I love about full body workouts is that there's so much variety in exercises. I always like to pick my favorite exercise for each body part, but it's good to switch it up to reduce boredom and trick the body a…
This week I only worked out twice which rarely happens. Work has been very busy and has definitely decreased my workout time. I also chose to spend time with family for the holidays instead of going to the gym. I used to think I had to workout everyday or I wouldn't make progress, but I…

This weeks workouts felt really good, which means next week the weights will increase. I like my current workout program because it allows me to get comfortable with a weight before I increase it. Eventually I'll be able to reach all of my goal maxes, but until then I have to hold the vision and trust the…
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m at the point of hanger after my workouts. At work I make my oats ASAP, but when I’m home I always make this smoothie. It’s so easy to make and contains plenty of protein and carbs. This smoothie is perfect post workout because: Whey protein is a…
Get into a routine. People always ask me how I can get up at 5am and go workout, but it’s such a routine to me now that I don’t think twice about it. I pack my car the night before so I have no excuse to stay in bed once my alarm goes off. Do…
My main workout goal is to get stronger, so my training program reflects that. I’m on a progressive overload program that Jon formulated for me. Progressive overload is when you continue to increase the stress on the body over time. The first week of the program has three sets, and each consecutive week adds one…
