There was a time in my life where the gym was my whole life:

  • I worked out there
  • I worked there as an employee
  • I ran a side business selling programs and training there
  • I recorded hundreds of YouTube and Instagram videos there

And for those strange 3 and a half years, I didn’t have much else to worry about.

So I got strong as frick compared to where I am now, however strong frick is.

I was able to squat 350lbs, bench press 265lbs with a pause at the bottom, and shortly after that gym closed, I pulled a 405lbs deadlift.

But then life got real and I got an adult job, bought a car, met my wife, and moved out of my mom’s place.

Training was still important, but not nearly as much.

Fast forward 6 moves and about 12 jobs later…

I’m just now getting back into a solid groove with training and trending in the right direction again.

And so I’ve decided to share the 3 things I’ve been applying to my training to help me make consistent strength gains each week.
