Mindset & Behavioral Change Strength Coach
Private studio- Sahuarita, Az. Online, In person Strength & Nutrition Coaching What's up? Is my style challenging?

Im Jordan, a Registered Nutrition & Dietetic Technician through the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, a Certified Personal Trainer & Health Coach. I am not your typical trainer who uses moves and routines passed down through the ages, or whatever happens to sound good at the time. I have spent countless hours researching new techniques, routines, different movements and different philosophies which result in maximum results, and unmistakable gains to strength, conditioning, stamina, and all around mental fortitude. A quote from Dan Gable says: “After wrestling, everything else comes easy.” That may be true, but my workouts are definitely far from easy. I workout differently, and I get different results. You bet, but are you really looking for “easy”? I want to make my life better. Hopefully, that is the same reason you are reading this Bio right now. Let’s take this journey together. Ready to start your health & wellness journey? Send me a DM to set up a FREE consultation!

Looking to build strong, badass shoulders? Here’s a few movements you NEED to be including in your shoulder routine:

1️⃣. Shoulder/military presses: these are great since they target both the anterior (front) + medial (side) delts. There’s many variations to these & each offers its own benefits. My current favorite is seated military presses.

2️⃣. Upright row: this exercise targets the laterals delts (side shoulder) & the traps while also including the front delts, which helps to build that nice “V” figure.

3️⃣. Lateral raises: this exercise hits the lateral (medial/side) delt & is amazing for building shape in the shoulders. This is one exercise that form should not be compensated on. In fact, you’re going to get better results doing a lighter weight with proper form.

While I’m not here to tell you what to do, I’m simply here to put a little more education in your 🧠. Intermittent fasting, here’s why I usually don’t recommend it for my clients.

While this can be a great tool to use if you have a weight loss goals, it may not be the best option for someone with a muscle building goal.

First, what is intermittent fasting? Intermittent fasting is when you put time blocks in your schedule where you schedule fasting periods.

Why isn’t this best option for someone looking to build muscle? We already under-eat protein without restricting when we’re eating. So what happens when you take a diet where you under-eat protein & restrict it even more? We eat LESS protein.

Let’s chat about creatine 🧬

What is creatine? ➡️ Creatine is a natural compound made of amino acids. We can get this from food, but you would have to eat about 2 pounds of beef to get the recommended dosage (yikessssss 😅)

How does the body use it? ➡️ creatine helps the body produce ATP, which is used when we perform short & intense burst of activities. Think things like sprinting or weightlifting.

What are the benefits? ➡️ Creatine is one of the most researched supplements on the market & has been shown to help to build muscle faster, increase strength, enhance recovery & boost general exercise performance. Newer studies are now showing that creatine can help with brain function & may help to protect against some cognitive disorders.

How much to take? ➡️ Research shows that 3-5g/day is adequate. No loading phase is necessary if you take it everyday.

Things to keep in mind:
➿ Supplements are highly unregulated. Choosing a brand that is 3rd party tested will ensure that you are receiving a solid supplement.
➿ Creatine should be taken everyday, even on days when you don’t workout. It works most efficiently once it’s built up in the system.
➿ Always chat with your provider before starting something like creatine. While there is no known adverse side effects, some people may want to defer using creatine.

Looking to build muscle? Here are 2 things you gotta emphasize:

1️⃣. Progressive overload with your lifts. The only way to increase muscle is to increase the load/stress on the muscles. This can be done by: increasing weight, increasing reps, decreasing rest time, increasing the number of sets, etc.

2️⃣. Calories/protein. Many times we try to build muscle while placing ourselves in a calorie deficit. Now, I’m not saying you can’t build muscle in a deficit, but you are making it harder on yourself. Your muscles need calories & protein to grow. Making sure you have sufficient calories is going to help the body with muscle protein synthesis (AKA the building of muscles), give you the energy you need to push your workouts & support metabolic health.

Things in the wellness space that are way overhyped:

1. The concept of cortisol face. Yes, stress affects the body & it can do weird things. However, the idea of cortisol face is not accurate thing. General daily stress will not elevate your cortisol levels to the point to give you “cortisol face”.

2. Detox teas. If someone is trying to sell you an expensive detox tea, please run. All healthy individuals have 2 wonderful things in their bodies: kidneys + liver. Both these organ “detox” the body on their own (without any expensive teas)

3. Green powders. While these are a great general concept, most completely hit the mark. Many are labeled “proprietary blends” & don’t actually contain a solid amount of whatever they promise. Plus, you miss out on a good chunk of fiber if you’re not including actually fruits & veggies.

4. Electrolytes. These can be great tools to use when used properly. As many of us live pretty sedentary lives, there is no reason to be chugging these down everyday. These are a great tool to use if you are: sweating more, strenuously exercising, out in the sun, etc. But, if you are sitting at your desk all day, you can skip out on this.

5. The idea of “bio hacking” your life. Okay, what? There is no such things as biohacking. Instead, enough adequate fiber + protein, drink your water, get good sleep & step out in the sun every so often.

What are a few things that I have learned throughout my short nutrition career & schooling that use I use to believe? ⬇️

1. Your nutrition doesn’t have to be boring to work. I use to think that “healthy” meant sweet potatoes, chicken & broccoli. Throughout my career I have learned while yes, that is healthy, there is so many ways to fit in other foods that you enjoy more & make those work.

2. Plot twist- all carbs are not created equal. While all carbs for the most part are used by the body for the same reason - energy, they are not all created equal. We use different carbs for different things. There’s pros & cons to all types.

3. Just because something is organic, does not instantly make it healthier. Marketing has made us assume that an organic label means healthier & it does not. It just simply means that a different form of pesticides have been used. Nutritional there is a very little difference in nutritional content when comparing organic to regular.

4. Again, hello food marketing. Just because an item is labeled with “less fat” or “fat free” does not make it better for us. Many times these foods have added salt/sugar to help make up for taste.

5. I use to believe that everyone’s nutrition should look the same, which is naive of me. There are so many factors that play a role in nutrition. These should all be taken in consideration.

What’s something you use to believe that you now know if false?

Have a goal to be able to do pull ups? Here’s a few tips that I would use to program my workouts to hit this goal ⬇️

First, we really want to focus on strengthening 3 areas: the lats, the biceps & your grip strength. Without adequate strength in one of these area, you are making it wayyyyy harder on yourself.

Pull ups are one of those super annoying movements that to do them, have to do them consistently. Ideally, pull ups should be trained 2-3 times/week.

What movements can be added to help build up strength to do pull ups:
🌟 Scapula pulls
🌟 Inverted rows
🌟 Reverse curls
🌟 Dead hangs
🌟 Weighted marches/farmers carries
