How I Recommend My Clients to Approach Thanksgiving⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There is never a perfect approach for everyone, but this approach is the most balanced for those who want to be FULLY present AND still hold themselves accountable.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you want to say YOLO, then go for it, and I’m in full support!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you want to bust out the food scale and be on point, that’s okay too!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you’re like me and want a happy medium of enjoying all the holiday has to offer but also feel compelled to prioritize things you have control over that don’t detract from it all, then here you go.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One day is never going to ruin a physique.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Enjoying every holiday in a year won’t either.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s going to be the habits you live by on all the other days that will have the most significant impact.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Take these tips for what you will!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s Thanksgiving week, so being thankful is the most imo thing. ❤️💪🏽⁣

🔴BANDED CABLE ROWS🔵
•
If you struggle “feeling” your back muscles work when working out your back, give these a try at the beginning of your next workout. If you don’t struggle with “feeling” your back, give these a try at the end of your next back workout!
•
The banded row challenges the more concentric portion (shorter muscle length) of the movement, which fills the muscle with blood. I love these to warm up the back as a pre exhaust movement before my bigger lifts or as a burnout when my back is already fried. You can completely burnout with these by simply stepping closer to the origin of the bands as it gets more challenging. You can also vary the angle to work different areas of the back.
•
Give this a try and see if you can double chin harder than me!!
•
Also, a generous dose of Pulse prior to this exercise will be sure to give you the best back pump of your life.
•
Tag a friend who would try these!

I’ve been anxiously waiting to share this insane transformation from my client Kenny! This guy has absolutely crushed his 12 week transformation! Kenny entered into a transformation challenge hosted by Precision Nutrition and has blown me away with his results. I’m not sure who all has entered in it, but he is giving a strong run for 1st place with this transformation. I’m a little bitter than we didn’t put him in a Men’s Physique competition this year because his aesthetics are 💯. Kenny followed a flexible dieting approach with careful consideration to caloric intake and proper distribution of macronutrients. At his lowest we were at 2000 calories with 2 days of cardio.

If you’re ready to take your physique to the next level, email me and let’s see if we can do it together!

🔴TRY THIS NEXT BACK WORKOUT🔵
•
Do you struggle with “feeling” your back when doing a back workout?
•
Give these 1 1/2’s a try next time you perform seated cable rows. Don’t believe me? Ask some of my clients... or you know just try it out.
•
EX*****ON TIPS:
1. Use a grip with your thumb on the same side as your fingers (or check out fellow athlete pistol grip recommendation) both basically turns your arm into more of a hook that allows more focus on the lat and less on the biceps.
2. Focus on pulling the cable towards your belly button. Don’t pull straight back, but more down and back (think elbows to hips)
3. Squeeze your shoulder blades together (think of trying to hold a pencil in between your shoulder blades)
4. Negate momentum by envisioning you have a metal rod through your spine and you can’t move it
5. After competing the Complete shortened movement (full contraction), return the weight only half way back before pulling it back into your belly button.
•
Stack this exercise along with other compound movements and 2 scoops of Pulse and your back will be PUMPED!!
