I have only lost 50lbs! ⁣
⁣
I was just reaching out to all of our clients today and one of them was being hard on herself.⁣
⁣
She still has more to lose and was feeling frustrated. ⁣
⁣
I reminded her to focus on how far she has come and to look at the big picture.⁣
⁣
To remember how much she has grown. ⁣
⁣
How many habits she has changed. ⁣
⁣
How she has learned to put herself first so she has more to give back to her family. ⁣
⁣
How much more energy she has now and how much better she feels. ⁣
⁣
Feeling this way is normal and it’s not always easy to zoom out and look at the big picture. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes life throws us curve balls. ⁣
⁣
People we love get sick. ⁣
⁣
Financial obligations arise out of nowhere.⁣
People are sometimes difficult.⁣
⁣
But regardless we all live in this same reality. ⁣
⁣
With life comes both challenges and triumphs.⁣
⁣
We all have a choice. ⁣
⁣
To step back and shift our perspective. ⁣
To focus on the things that are going well. ⁣
⁣
To live in gratitude for the things we do have. ⁣
⁣
Life is not always easy but putting one foot in front of the other when things get tough is EVERYTHING. ⁣
⁣
There is always a SOLUTION and there is always a CHOICE!⁣
⁣
If you need support along your journey and need help putting the pieces together feel free to reach out in my DM’s or type ME below.⁣

Want to get lean? It’s not about perfection—it’s about mastering the basics! 💪 Staying in shape doesn’t have to run your life—it’s just part of it.

Forget living on chicken, rice, and broccoli. I choose clean foods I love, that are quick to prep and fit my lifestyle. No extreme diets!

Training? Skip the 5-6 day grind. I stick to 3-4 short, efficient workouts, 20-30 min cardio when I can, and 8k steps daily. These aren’t the only pieces of the puzzle, but they’re the foundation of a sustainable routine.

I used to sacrifice sleep and stress out to stay lean—never sustainable. Now, I focus on consistency over perfection, keeping fitness simple, stress low, and sleep solid. Master the basics, and fitness becomes a lifestyle, not a chore.

I made it to 36.⁣
⁣
Back in 2009, I didn’t believe that was possible.⁣
⁣
I was in my second year playing college football.⁣
⁣
Everyone looked up to me, but inside, I was suffocating. I remember crossing the street, wishing someone would run me over.⁣
⁣
I was angry at God. I’d say, “Why would You make me so good at something I hate?”⁣
⁣
I knew I was blessed, but I just couldn’t shake the heaviness.⁣
⁣
No matter how hard I tried, it wouldn’t go away. It felt like I was trapped in a well, the light getting dimmer every day.⁣
⁣
Then I got a concussion during spring ball, which eventually led to a medical scholarship.⁣
⁣
It turned out to be a blessing in disguise.⁣
⁣
Sure, I missed parts of football, but stepping away allowed me to help in the weight room and focus on my calling.⁣
⁣
It wasn’t easy.⁣
⁣
There was uncertainty, anger, and the constant question—“What now?”⁣
⁣
In the years that followed, I poured myself into Strongman and bodybuilding while finishing my degree in Fitness & Health Promotion.⁣
⁣
It became my outlet. A way to release the frustration and shed the mask I’d worn for so long—football.⁣
⁣
And I learned three things that changed my life:⁣
⁣
1. You are not what you do.⁣
⁣
⁣
2. Everything happens for a reason.⁣
⁣
⁣
3. If you let it, life happens for you, not to you.⁣
⁣
⁣
Being in shape is great, but without the spiritual and mental sides, you’re left empty.⁣
⁣
My transformation started with dropping from 305 to 235.⁣
⁣
Reconnecting with God and no longer carrying the weight of the world alone.⁣
⁣
Changing my mindset through mentors, books, and surrounding myself with the right people.⁣
⁣
Through this process, I rebuilt my habits and became a new man.⁣
⁣
In the end, we have to:⁣
⁣
Be something new.⁣
Do what’s required.⁣
To have what we truly want.⁣
⁣
Now, I have the blessing of walking other men through their own journey.⁣

So you don’t feel like yourself … ⁣
⁣
Something is just off. ⁣
⁣
You look in the mirror and you know you could be doing better. ⁣
⁣
Your getting older but this is just normal right? ⁣
⁣
Deep down you know the truth and you justify it. ⁣
⁣
You tell yourself I’m doing good at my job or I’m a good parent, or …..⁣
⁣
So you revert to that to make yourself feel better in the moment. ⁣
⁣
Your closet seems to be shrinking and the clothes you feel comfortable wearing seem to shrink by the day. ⁣
⁣
Things aren’t bad but they’re not where you want them to be. ⁣
⁣
Over time it’s been subtle but now your last pic on your profile makes you ask how did I get here? ⁣
⁣
Back in 2013, I had this very conversation with myself. ⁣
⁣
Here’s the truth. ⁣
⁣
You have the power to change your habits and your actions. ⁣
⁣
Is it easy, No. But is it simple, Yes. ⁣
⁣
If this sound like your story and your ready to start moving in the right direction then DM me directly. ⁣
⁣
P.S This is just to open a dialogue. No pressure. No guilt. Just a simple conversation to take the wheel back. ⁣

Stop focusing on weight!

Instead focus on body composition.

The first picture in this comparison is around 280 and the other 271

That is only 9 lbs!

Look at the difference in shape, size, and definition.

I was finally able to train heavier and push the weights hard due to healing from a shoulder injury.

During that same time I ate in a slight caloric deficit, adjusted food intake as needed, focused on atleast 8k steps per day, and trained consistently.

This was all while helping my pregnant wife and having a newborn.

Stop making excuses and wanting things overnight.

If you want long term results focus on building muscle and losing bodyfat.

Time and consistency is way better than being perfect and burning out.

If you are over 35 read this:⁣
⁣
Having just had my first photo shoot in a few years approaching 37 I was just reflecting on what has changed since my late 20s.⁣
⁣
The main challenge being recovery. ⁣

You just don’t bounce back the same and can’t afford to neglect the basics like your younger self.⁣
⁣
The key here is managing stress and getting adequate sleep. ⁣
⁣
Not only does this greatly impede muscle gain and fat loss, it affects other things that are not so obvious.⁣
⁣
Blood sugar, testosterone levels, mood, digestion, etc. ⁣
⁣
I know you have heard it before but this is foundational. ⁣
⁣
This only gets compounded further by not eating enough and training too many days. ⁣
Let’s be real, most people are not overtraining, instead they are under recovered. ⁣
⁣
Additional symptoms include low libido, brain frog, general negativity, chronic hanger, water retention, and loss of strength over time. ⁣
⁣
If you don’t feel like you used to Start here: ⁣
⁣
1. Prioritize sleep 7-8 hrs ⁣
Importantly it’s not just the number of hours but the quality so setting the circadian rhythm is key. ⁣
⁣
2. Get your labs done and specifically request your testosterone levels. You are considered low if your number is below 400. The 250 scale is just outdated in my opinion.⁣
⁣
3. Eat at least x10 your body weight in calories. ⁣
⁣
These recommendations are just the tip of the ice berg and have allowed me to keep up with the younger ones.⁣
⁣
If you have more questions on this DM me.⁣

Felt stuck for awhile.

Things weren’t bad but they weren’t good either.

Just felt off.

I know many of you feel the same way.

This happens when what we want out of life no longer matches our actions.

We say tomorrow but then another day passes.

Another opportunity to lose belief and get further away from our destiny.

The greatness we all have inside of us that is just waiting to get out.

God did not intend for us to live in fear. But to trust and have faith.

Give yourself permission to take that leap.

If you are tired of waiting for things to change and are ready to make things happen then DM me “Merica” and I will send you details for my Summer Shred Beta Program.

👉 If you’re waiting for the ‘perfect time’—read this.

Austin didn’t have a gym. He had a garage.
He didn’t have time—he worked 60+ hours a week.
He didn’t have perfect discipline.

But he had a system.

Investing in everyone but yourself is selfish.

Yeah, I said it.

You think putting yourself last is selfless—but what good are you with an empty cup?

Being drained, resentful, and burnt out doesn’t help anyone.

True service starts with a full tank.

You need to protect your energy, set boundaries, and show up for YOU first—so you can actually give to others without resentment.

What does that look like?

• Saying “no” to that family event where you’re expected to eat junk—just to keep the peace.

• Skipping the bar when you committed to 30 days alcohol-free—because your goals matter.

• Releasing one-sided relationships that drain you.

You don’t rise to your intentions. You fall to your standards.

Raise them.

Prioritize your health.
Protect your peace.
Show up as the strongest version of you.

It’s never too late to change.
Change your decisions. Change your life.
