When I first started training nearly two decades ago, I pushed far beyond what my body was ready for.
My plan was poorly balanced.
I had little to no idea what I was doing.
This led to painful shoulder impingement.
That injury taught me one of the most important lessons that has helped me stay consistent for over a decade.
Learning from this lesson helped me safely progress to deadlifting over 600 pounds.
It also helped me achieve my dream physique goals through years of proper training.
It taught me the importance of training intelligently.
As I’m preparing for an Ironman 70.3 with little background in focused endurance training, that same lesson is speaking to me again.
Connective tissues need time to catch up to new stresses.
I can already tell this journey will require patience and putting any ego aside.
Just a reminder to train hard, but to also train smart.
It’s about the long game.

Over 50 pounds lost.
Sustained for nearly 4 years.
This is Alejandro Sanchez, an engineer at SpaceX who works on rockets.
This weekend, we met in person for the first time after working together remotely back in 2022.
He invited me to his new home, and we spent some time reflecting on what he’s achieved since.
Years ago, he came in at around a 38” waist, size XL.
He felt stuck and was spinning his wheels and confused from all the conflicting advice out there.
His health was at risk, and he knew something needed to change.
Fast forward to now...
He's built a lean, athletic physique, around a 31” waist, size M.
Running half marathons under 100 minutes.
Hitting one-arm push-ups.
Squatting close to 2x his bodyweight.
No shortcuts.
No training beyond what his body could handle.
No drugs or surgery.
Just a system built around his life and the discipline to follow through.
What I’m most proud of isn’t just the weight he lost...
It's who he became in the process.
The habits and skills he built.
The inspiration he has become.
The energy, fulfillment, and progress he's created.
And the fact that he’s sustained his results for years.
This is what real transformation looks like.
Moments like this are why I still do what I do.
We’ve also been working on something exciting behind the scenes…
For engineers and other analytical minds looking to take control of their health and fitness in a more sustainable way...
This is being built with you in mind.

Been taking some time offline lately to reflect deeply. A health gala, ziplining, basketball, lots of reading and learning. Interesting things in the works 🙏
