This week I finally had some great workouts 🙂 I increased the amount of sets I did from last week and was able to complete all my reps. Over the weekend I added in more accessory movements after my main lifts and enjoyed not having to work all weekend. I put that extra time to…

Full Body Workout #2
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…
Weekly Workouts 3/12 – 3/18
This week was my first workouts back after being sick, and I could definitely tell that I took a break. I didn’t do my AMRAP workouts in two weeks so my deadlift and bench felt a lot heavier. I had to drop the weight on bench, but it’s all a part of the process. I…
Full Body – Kettlebell Workout
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…
Weekly Workouts 2/26 – 3/4
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,…
What’s Up: March
I'm going to start linking up with the first blogger I ever read, Shay Shull, for my What's Up posts. Each month I'll be answering the following questions: What I'm eating: I've been eating a lot of Guilt Free Nachos, but I usually make them into a quesadilla at work. It's so simple, but so good.…
Weekly Workouts 2/19-2/25
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…
Weekly Workouts 2/5-2/11
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…
Guilt Free(ish) Buffalo Chicken Dip
Superbowl Sunday is coming up and I made a dad-approved (if he eats something with fat free cream cheese and likes it, then it’s a good sign) healthy version of the famous Buffalo Chicken Dip. There are only five ingredients and a total prep time of less than 10 minutes. Ingredients: 2 cups shredded chicken (we…
Weekly Workouts 1/15-1/21
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…
