Squats and Deadlifts for the win 💪🏾. There’s many different variations of both... low bar squats, high bar squats, front squats, conventional deadlifts, sumo deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts. Just do them. Compound movements are always superior for building muscle. Work larger muscle groups and burn more calories

Don’t worry. The Federal Carb Task Force won’t arrest you. And you’ll survive if you consume carbs in the evening 😁
Working my gf through semi-sumo deadlifts last week. Slowly getting back into strength training after a hiatus. That means neurological adaptions will occur pretty rapidly these first few weeks. Heeled shoes are optional (she’s comfortable in them) especially for the stance she’s using. It’s not quite the same hinge pattern as a conventional deadlift because her hips are starting from a lower position. If anyone needs any deadlift tips or has questions, comment below!

Listen I know ketogenic and low carb diets are all the rage... but they aren’t necessary or super special. Most of the weight people lose on low carb diets initially come from a loss of water weight.
Think about it. If you drastically decrease or completely eliminate one macronutrient from your diet then you’re creating a caloric deficit. That’s really it. No magic or secret tricks. You’re simply creating a caloric deficit ✅

Meal prep is not necessary to reach whatever health/fitness goals you have BUT it is convenient and provides a level of stability in your everyday life. To prevent it from becoming too boring just switch up the protein and/or carb sources each week 👌🏾. Tag your friends who need meal prep ideas 😀

In a 2018 study conducted on obese women (BMI between 30-45 kg/m2), it was found that a 16/8 intermittent fasting protocol was found to be an effective method of losing weight. In fact systolic blood pressure and fasting insulin levels decreased dramatically as well. Intermittent fasting was proven to be an effective way to create a caloric deficit without the need to count calories. That being said, it doesn’t mean that you NEED to be intermittent fasting in order to lose weight or decrease your risk of CVD, hypertension, heart disease etc. But it might be a better way for some to adhere to a weight loss protocol for medical purposes in the short term

Sometimes we need a kick in the ass or spark to get moving when we don’t feel like it. Those are the moments that define you 💯

Funny thing is I haven’t deadlifted in about a month and this Navy SEAL program I’m doing is tons of calisthenics. So this was a surprise and tells me my strength ain’t going nowhere 😉
