📝 Wednesday Wisdom Post:

"The suit was hanging there, just like they said it should be.

The 'safe' path. The 'smart' choice. The 'supposed to.'

But the gym kept calling.

The weights. The chalk. The iron paradise.

This is where I felt alive.

Society has a funny way of writing our stories:

'Get the office job' 'Chase the corner office' 'Follow the corporate ladder' 'Play it safe'

But my heart beats to a different rhythm:

The sound of plates hitting the floor

The buzz of pre-workout at dawn

The victory of one more rep

The joy of changing lives

Sometimes the bravest thing isn't following the path others laid out.

It's having the courage to create your own.

That suit might look good on a hanger, But iron looks better on your soul.

Do what you're meant to do.

Not what you're supposed to do.

Your story is waiting to be written.

💡 JUST THE TIP TUESDAY: Supplement Shopping Secrets 🛍️

Ladies, let's save you some 💰 and spill the tea on smart supplement shopping!

5 Power Tips for Dodging the Pretty Label Tax:

1️⃣ Compare Ingredients, Not Labels • Check the "regular" version • Compare price per serving • Look past the pretty packaging
Tip: That flashy pre-workout? Probably identical to the "regular" one!

2️⃣ Basic > Boutique • Creatine is creatine • Protein is protein • BCAAs are BCAAs Tip: Don't pay extra for "female formulated" basics!

3️⃣ Read the Fine Print • Check active ingredients • Ignore marketing buzzwords • Compare serving sizes Tip: "Toned & Lean Blend" = fancy words for basic ingredients
BONUS: NO product can promise anything

4️⃣ Quality Indicators: • Third-party testing • Clear ingredient list • No proprietary blends • Transparent labeling Tip: If they hide ingredients, they're hiding something!

5️⃣ Smart Stacking: Start with these basics: • Quality protein • Creatine monohydrate • Essential vitamins/minerals
Add extras based on YOUR goals!

🎯 Bottom Line: Your gains don't care about packaging color or design!

Drop a 💪 if you're done paying the pretty tax on supplements!

🌟 SUPPLEMENT OF THE WEEK 🌟

Let's Talk "For Her" Supplements 💁‍♀️

Time for some REAL TALK about women's supplements!

Let's cut through the pink tax and marketing fluff to find what actually works 🎯

🔍 Truth Bomb: Most "for her" supplements are regular supplements in pink packaging with a higher price tag. Save your money for quality basics that actually work!

Red Flags to Watch For: 🚫 "Proprietary blends" hiding ingredients 🚫 Unrealistic promises (fat loss while you sleep!) 🚫 Pink packaging with inflated prices 🚫 Vague claims without science 🚫 "Secret female formula" marketing

What Actually Works:
✅ Quality Protein Powder:
Supports lean muscle
Aids recovery
Same as "regular" protein!

✅ Creatine
Yes, women need it too!
Supports strength & performance
No, it won't make you bulky

✅ Multivitamins
Look for iron & folate
D3 & calcium for bone health
B-complex for energy

✅ Essential Supplements
• Omega-3s
• Magnesium
• Vitamin D3
• Collagen (if desired)

Pro Tip: The best supplements are often the basics - no gender-specific marketing needed! 💪

You won't find "for her" supplements in our store, unless they are SPECIFICALLY made/designed for for women. (Women's Health by Revive)

📝 Wednesday Wisdom Post:

"January 10th: They call it National Quitters Day. The day when most resolutions fade. When motivation runs dry. When excuses win.

But not for you. You're just getting started. You're going to make the changes necessary to see the results you truly want.

Mental toughness isn't about never feeling tired. It's about pushing forward when you do. It isn't about never wanting to quit. It's about continuing when quitting feels easiest.

Your mind will quit 100 times before your body does. That voice telling you to stop? Is just that, a voice. Control that voice and control the outcome. That's where mental toughness begins. That's where champions are made.

When others are dropping their goals, you're just warming up. When motivation fades, your discipline shines.

Because you understand: Every time you push past 'I can't' you build the strength to say 'I will.

'This isn't about a resolution anymore. This is about who you're becoming.

Stay strong when others quit. That's your superpower.

🌟 SUPPLEMENT OF THE WEEK: Collagen Peptides ✨

Your secret weapon for hitting your protein goal

Key Benefits: • Supports healthy skin, hair & nails 💅 • Promotes joint health & mobility 🏃‍♀️ • Aids in muscle recovery 💪 • Supports gut health • Helps maintain bone strength 🦴

How to Use: Mix half a scoop into your morning coffee • A scoop or two into your: Post-workout shake • Smoothies • Oatmeal • Baked goods

Dissolves easily with no weird taste!

Pro Tip: Add to your morning routine for the best results! Consistency is key with collagen - most people see results within 4-8 weeks of daily use. ⏰

📝 Wednesday Wisdom Post:

The tortoise had it right all along!!

Everyone wants to be the hare - sprinting full speed, crushing intense workouts, going all out... for a day or two.

But here's the truth: The 15-minute daily walk beats the occasional marathon. The consistent 5am workout beats the random all-out session. The steady progress beats the sporadic sprint.

Intensity is like a spark - bright and powerful, but quick to fade. Consistency is the slow-burning flame that transforms.

You don't need to move mountains today. You just need to move forward. Show up. Do the work. Repeat.

Because the real magic isn't in those rare moments of maximum effort. It's in the quiet discipline of showing up. Day after day. Step after step. Choice after choice.

Remember: The race isn't always won by the fastest. It's won by those who keep moving forward.

If you don't track it, you can't change it

I gained 11 pounds in 11 weeks

With EVERYTHING not going to plan

I've missed a lot of workouts...

I haven't been tracking food, missed meals even

Fortunately, my goal is to continue gaining weight

AND my bodyfat has remained about the same

Knowing that fat always comes with muscle, we want to keep this at a minimum

The ultimate goal is to get up to 270/275 #

Maybe not this year, but eventually

With a show tentatively planned for November, there is a lot of work to do

We'll get there and I'll be at a weight I should be at for my height, when I'm that lean

Big goals for 2025 on my road to being a bigger human 💪💪💪
