Love a particular food like Tater Tots (for instance)?
If someone tells you to stop eating that food to lose weight run in the opposite direction.
You can lose weight eating any food you want.

10/28/2024

More women gain weight from NOT LIFTING WEIGHTS then lifting weights that are
"too heavy".

10/24/2024

Most people need less education on weight loss and more action.

10/23/2024

Eating in a calorie deficit is not the same thing as "I eat healthy".

How strong are you?
🤪Strong enough to lift your wife over your head?🤷‍♂️

Join us on Saturday November 16th at 8:30 am to find out.*
*Space is limited so you must sign up!

“I want to be stronger” is something we hear from practically every person (males and female) we work with. The hard thing with that statement is quantifying strength, i.e. how do we know your strong(er)?

🙋‍♀️Raise your hand if you want to be stronger🙋‍♀️
“How strong am I?”
“What am I capable of doing?”
“What’s my limit?”

You can never know your boundaries if you never test those boundaries.

Strength is IMPORTANT, way more important than cardiovascular fitness, especially as we age.

No one has prevented an ACL tear or a hip replacement because they had good cardio, but I know LOTS of people that didn’t tear their ACL during that pick-up soccer game because they were strong. I also know dozens of individuals that have cancelled their “required” joint surgery after getting stronger.

There are two universal lifts that tend to be unanimously agreed upon as good tests of overall strength – the barbell bench press and the barbell deadlift.

Bench 100 lbs. and deadlift 200 lbs.?

Your probably not as strong as someone who benches 150 lbs. and deadlifts 250 lbs., at the same body weight for the same reps.

Without a doubt the more weight you can bench and deadlift the stronger your bones are.

Bye Bye Osteopenia/porosis!

There is NOTHING better than being strong for bone health and longevity.

On Saturday November 16th we will be hosting a mock powerlifting meet to give some members a taste of what a meet looks like and to help other members get an idea of how strong they really are.

A powerlifting meet is typically composed of three lifts – back squat, bench press and deadlift (but ours will only be the bench and deadlift) – where you try and lift the most amount of weight in each lift for one rep with up to 3 attempts per lift to get to a “total” which is essentially how much total weight you lifted on that day over the three lifts.

Coach Ben and Coach Jamie have personally done dozens of meets with members and solo. We’ve probably had over 100 people compete in total over the last 20 years. For a short time, Coach Ben even held the state record for the deadlift and bench press in his weight and age division with a 335 bench and a 485 deadlift at 181 lbs.

If you deadlift 225 and bench 135 you know exactly how strong you are with very large real-world applications.

The more weight you can pick up off the ground and the more weight you can press away from you – the stronger you are in life.

Not to mention CONFIDENCE.

There are few things that will make you feel more confident in your strength then literally picking up the weight of a refrigerator off the ground!

One last thing – drop a 👍 in the comments below if you are interested in doing this event.

We will have a limit to how many people we take for this in our studio.

More details to come next week.
For context - the top picture was pre-cancer, the bottom was post. I wanted to make sure I could still press her over my head.
Mission Accomplished! 😍

👉In this day and age, everyone's an expert, but few people actually know anything.
::::
The below screenshot is from another group I am a member of.
For context, this group has over 100K members, with 20 moderators all with advanced degrees in exercise related fields.
This question is in regards to a program this person bought.
::::
I had no idea that Sheriff's had advanced training in exercise technique and coaching.
::::
OPINIONS are a valid form of science, when those opinions are backed by large numbers.
This is referred to as "observational science".
---
"I have seen over 100 different species of birds flying over my head, that must mean all birds can fly."
---
👆Great example of observational science.
We know it's not right, there are some birds that don't fly, but based on observing a large sample of birds, this would be a reasonable opinion to take.
----
In fact before we had "peer reviewed" journals Doctors did most of their Doctoring off opinions based on what they experienced.
----
People LOVE to give out health and exercise advice.
Especially if those people "solved a problem".
👇
Like - "every time I deadlift I hurt my back, so ill stop deadlifting."
Bam - no more lower back pain.
🤬
🤬That must mean the deadlift is an exercise that causes and promotes lower back pain.
🤬
Maybe that just means you don't know how to deadlift?
----
"I lost 30 lbs by eating Keto. Therefore everyone must eat Keto to lose weight."
👉Maybe...but probably not.
🤷‍♂️Maybe that just means you needed some kind of diet to follow that imposed some restriction instead of the diet you were following which was...
🤷‍♂️..."put food in my mouth."
----
So the next time someone gives you advice that is NOT in the field of that advice (i.e. your mechanic giving you plumbing advice, or your Doctor giving you exercise advice) ask them two questions:
🙋‍♀️"Why?"
🧐"How many times have you seen this happen?"
----
If they can't tell you WHY - as in "Why do deadlifts cause lower back pain"...they are working off a weak understanding of what they are talking about.
---
If they answer the 2nd question with "just me" or something that essentially corresponds to an incredibly low number....they are working off their own limited observations.
Not wrong, but should not be taken as "gospel".
---
If on the other hand they reply with an actual reason like "deadlifts create a lot of shear at the lumbar spine which often exaggerates pre-existing lower back issues."
True statement.
And/or "I have seen this happen dozens of times before"
They probably have a good understanding of what they are talking about.

There are two reasons to eat - hunger and emotions.
If you rarely feel hungry, you probably eat based on emotions.

10/10/2024

Before you worry about food quality, you should address air and water quality first.
::::
Every day you will breathe and drink water.
There will be some days you don't eat that much, but there will never be days you don't breathe that much.
:::::
This goes into the category of "stepping over dollars to pick up pennies".
:::::
"My food quality is important!"
yes it is, no one is saying it's not.
But your air quality and water quality are WAY more important.
👉You consume way more environmental toxins via water and air then you do via food.👈
:::::
Every room of your house should have an air purifier.
Every water that touches your skin or enters your body should be run through some kind of a filter.
:::::
If you are trying to be healthier focus on those two things first.

Portion control is the single most imporqant aspect of losing weight.

10/04/2024

Consistently showing up to the gym – even if you don’t think you can get the “BEST” work out will always beat working out hard.

09/30/2024

Foods to avoid for weight loss = none.
Foods to eat to lose weight = any.

09/27/2024

Walk More. That's the simplest weight loss advice I can give you. Walk more first, eat less later.
