Waking up early

          I felt like posting a little extra today rather than just my normal day review. That will be posted tonight but I wanna explain something that I've found to be very vaulable. I used to get up at 7 am and go to the gym till 8:30 and rush around for class at 10. Recently I read "The Mindset Manual" by Cory Gregory (I highly recommend it, he's a fitness GOAT) but anyways he preached about waking up early. Recently I have been choosing to wake up at 4:30 AM every morning, regardless of how tired I feel or how sore I am. When you decide to devote your time to your overall goal then you will see results. You have to devote time and eliminate every excuse there is for you to press snooze. At first it sucked, I won't deny that, but now I wake up without a problem. My body has adapted. And honestly, I've never been more focused on my end goal.          This whole blog idea was because of waking up early, I gave myself extra time to chase my dream. Devote you

Legs are sore from squatting everyday and lunging 800 M. But that’s not what is important. There will be days that you aren’t feeling it and don’t want to be at the gym but you have to remember that it’s apart of making progress. You want your body to be pushed as far as it can go or it’s not going to make the progress that it could. All in all, I still moved my weight up from last week, except for my squat. I tried a 20 pound jump and I got

PhotoShoot

Hey guys, so on May 21st I'm going to be doing my first photo shoot. I've been prepping pretty seriously for it for about two weeks now and I'm starting to get a little more dialed in. I started my offical cut in January and I'm down 15 pounds, which is about two pounds a week and that's a pretty solid path. I'm aiming for about 160 pounds on May 21st, which will put me at about 8-9% BF. Follow along with me day by day as I track my entire FIRST photo shoot prep. Follow and subscribe to tag along and get cut for summer!
