My wife walked in this morning and hit three full bodyweight pull ups. Clean reps. No drama. Just strength. Mother of four and still finding ways to level up (and completely replace my gratitude post)😂. I see so many women come in and say they could never do a pull up and then they surprise themselves after some intentional strength training. Have you ever tried one? You might be closer than you think! Happy Wednesday! 💪

I found a weighted vest tucked away in the cabinets for the gym today (4lbs) and it reminded me how these things always circle back into the spotlight and get popular. Every few years they get hyped for fat loss, bone health, calorie burn, all of it.

I went back to some research, including a newer study on weighted walking where they had people carry seriously heavy loads. Up to 66% of their bodyweight (Looney et al., 2024). When you load someone down like that the calorie burn obviously jumps, but nobody in a normal gym setting is walking around with half their bodyweight strapped to them. With realistic loads the extra burn is small.

You see a few small benefits in certain groups. Slight bumps in oxygen use at faster walking speeds. Slight improvements for distance runners or certain athletes. But nothing that turns a weighted vest into a major fat loss or health tool for the average person.

That is really the takeaway. Weighted vests are fine. They make cardio tougher and bodyweight movements harder. Just lift heavy things and don’t over complicate it. If you mentally feel like it’s a nice change or just challenging go ahead but anything under ~22% of your body weight really isn’t going to make much of a difference. Better off just lifting. 🫡 plus vests get pretty gross fast. 😂

Day 18: Thankful for Every Tough Lesson in Business

I am thankful for every tough lesson this business has handed me. The losses, the pivots, the setbacks and the moments that forced me to grow. Every single one has sharpened me and pushed me toward better decisions.

The hard days are never fun in the moment, but they have built who I am as a business owner and as a person. I would not be here without them, and I am grateful for the growth that came from every challenge.

Final post of the day. Here is everything the crew knocked out in the last four hours. There were even more big moments that we did not catch on camera. We kicked things off Cinnamon and a 305 pound squat PR and Angel with a 305 pound hip thrust PR. Curtis hammered three sets of doubles on the 245 pound bench press and also came through with a sweet new weight rack for the bumper plates. Daiana won the evening by getting through the whole session without saying something terrible to me and then topped it off with a 275 pound hip thrust PR. 💪

Stuff like this gets shared all the time and it blows my mind. There is no herb, tea, magic supplement, or natural BBL recipe that will grow your glutes. People will try anything to avoid the hard work and consistency that actually builds muscle. Some go straight to surgery. Others buy into stuff like this and hope it changes their body.

The truth is simple. Glutes grow from training, eating, and showing up week after week. That is it.

In our gym we build glutes with movements that actually work. Hip thrusts, squats with good depth, RDLs, lunges, step ups, kickbacks, and everything that loads the glutes through a full range of motion. We train hard, we progress the weight, and we stay consistent. That is how you build strength and shape.

No shortcuts. No gimmicks. Just real work and real results.

Day 17: Thankful for Mentors

I am really thankful for the mentors who shaped my life. Some I met by sheer luck and others chose to help a kid who had no sense of purpose or direction. I started out as someone who just wanted to work in a gym because lifting weights was the only thing that made sense to me.

Over the years I was fortunate to learn from some of the most respected people in this industry. They pushed me, taught me, and poured into me in ways I will never forget. Their influence shows up every day in how I coach, how I lead, and how I carry myself.

I am unbelievably appreciative and thankful for every lesson and every person who took the time to invest in me. Happy Monday! 💪

The mother of one of our weight training boys sent me this video of her son absolutely crushing a baseball. And those wheels around the bases weren’t bad either. Thanks tire runs which you love so much. 😂🤣😂 It’s always cool to see the strength work we do in the gym show up in real time. All the rotational work and all the general strength translates fast when they’re out on the field. Not every kid in our program plays sports and that’s totally fine. But for the ones who do, moments like this make it even more fun to see the work they may or may not think is relevant show up. This was awesome. Great work Luke. See you tomorrow. 🫡💪

Day 16: Thankful for the Trust Clients Place in Me

I am truly thankful for the trust my clients give me. The trust to guide them, coach them, and support them through real change is something I never take lightly. It means a lot to be part of their journey and to play a small role in their progress.

Day 15: Thankful for the Basics

I am thankful for the simple things that matter most. A roof over our heads, good food to eat, and people to share it with. The little things add up in a big way, and I never take them for granted. Happy Saturday!

Late flex Friday post. Big win in here this week. 605lbs on the leg press and she made it look smooth. I love seeing people surprise themselves with what they can really do. Strong work and proud of this one. 💪🔥

Day 14: Thankful for Our Family Traditions

I am thankful for the family traditions that remind us where we came from and why we stay close. Those moments together mean a lot to me. They bring us back to what matters and give us time that I really cherish. I love those times with us all together. Happy Friday! 💪
