“It’s not all about talent. It’s about dependability, consistency, and being able to improve. If you work hard and you’re coachable, and you understand what you need to do, you can improve.”-Bill Belichick • This quote speaks volumes to me because that’s my life right now. • My talents in anything that I do in life can only get me so far. • Believe me, I used to think that my talents would get me so far in life that I would be invincible. • The truth is that I learned the hard way that talent is only a small part of the equation. • Hard work, dependability, consistency, being coachable, and etc is the things that will help me grow and become a successful person in life. • I am not where I want to be by any means but I am working towards a life that I want and I will win! • #iam1stphorm #photo #goals #lifestyle #quotes #inspiration #legionofboom #keepgoing #happy #instagram #positivevibes #1stphorm

Prep is know for having boring food, but without staying consistent and doing the boring stuff you wont get to see the results. I started prep 40 days ago and am at an all time low weighing in at 220. I feel great and my strength has declined at all, I have actually been getting stronger and growing throughout the prep. There is no cheat code or life hack, sometimes you have to grind out the boring stuff. I have been using a @evogennutrition protein, enzymes, and multivitamins. All of which i got from @s2faction . Even if you’re not doing a show like me, go in and check it out, because whatever your goal is they will probably be able to help you out. #s2faction #supplementsuperstores #prep #bodybuilding #summer #summershred #fitness #summerfit

Travel and vacations can throw off our system and cause us to become constipated. Eating and drinking different things, change in sleeping patterns and even a different toilet can all play a part 😝 So what can you do?. . Have you seen the Porta-squatty from @squattypotty ? I highly recommend! It’s portable, folds up flat and has its own bag. It’s perfect for travel and will help keep you in a better position to relax and more fully empty!! 💩🙌🏻💯. . Here are some more tips to help you stay regular:. . -Drink plenty of water and clear liquids. . -Avoid taking extra fiber: this in combination with being dehydrated can cause bloating and make constipation worse. . -Avoid foods that are high in fat. . -Exercise and stay physically active. . -Get plenty of rest. . -Don’t ignore your body’s signals that it’s time to go. . -Opti-Greens 50: This greens powder from @1stphorm @s2faction helps with gut health!! 💯. . LMK if you need help staying regular. Constipation is one of the many things Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy can help to treat!.

Contrary to popular belief, I do work with lifestyle clients as well as competitors. It's nearly half my business actually and the wins are just as big. . Also contrary to popular belief, fitness isn't hard or stressful or scary. It's as simple as forming a couple easy habits and staying consistent with it. . You're not eliminating anything. Just consuming in appropriate amounts WHILE seeing consistent results . @carla.marie_g isn't living some rigid, militant lifestyle. She goes out with friends and celebrates holidays and indulges when it makes sense. She communicates when the plan isn't perfect, I thank her for it and we move on to the next week of progress. Now she's at the lowest weight she's seen in 5 years and enjoying herself in the process. . DM to inquire about starting your own #transformation.

This, but better. - Some professional stage shots from this past weekend. A bit disappointed in the quality on some of these, but it is what it is. - I’m very pleased with the end result and the look that I brought, but far from satisfied. The focus is now doing what’s necessary to improve and blow this look out of the water next go around. We got work to do and it’ll take time, but the good news is that’s all I need. #gym #fitness #workout #stage #bodybuilding #physique #classic #pose #npc #npccompetitor #npcclassicphysique #npcbodybuilding #npcmidwest #progress #motivation #inspiration #s2faction #supplementsuperstores

Show Recap for @ssj_fit @npc_ifbb_midwest KC Naturals 2nd out of 4 in Novice class 2nd out of 4 in Open class (Lost to overall winner) First off, James handled this prep insanely well. You would have trouble knowing it was his first. Communication, adherence, and focus on the end goal was great. Never once did I doubt that he would bring his best. Extremely proud of him. James and I started working together just a few weeks before this prep started. This is truly just the beginning as we haven’t had the time to really refine and hone in on everything needed to truly improve. Future is bright here. No shows planned as of now; it’s time to bring back some normalcy and improve in every aspect of life. #moxcoaching #s2faction #supplementsuperstores #coaching #bodybuilding #coach

While the girls in KC were winning, @candi_marie_g was doing some winning of her own! . My only regret is not being able to be in two places at once. Hahaha Candice has been with me consecutively for almost 3 years now and has done nothing but improve. . On a personal level, she's become one of my closest friends and watching her win, both in bodybuilding and other areas of life, makes me such a happy dude. . . #seidel_nutrition #seidelnutrition #2point0trainingsystems #BigDogsGym #1stphorm #iam1stphorm #1stplace #winner #bodybuildingmotivation #npcbikini #bikinicompetitor #npcindianamuscle #s2faction

This evening's supper is a basically a clean taco salad. But no chips and no cheese. Base of lettuce (I usually like Romaine, but used Iceberg), 6 oz. taco meat, about 1.5 oz batch-cooked cilantro-lime rice, 1.5 oz. black beans, pickled jalapenos, cherry tomatoes, avocado, mini red pepper with a scoop of Greek yogurt and fresh cilantro. While losing weight, I mostly ate chicken breast since it is so versatile, but for beef-based dishes, I'd use 93% ground beef. This taco salad could very easily be done as a wrap too. Would it be better with chips and shredded cheese? Of course. Do I prefer having a size 32 waist instead of a size 46 waist and gut issues? Yes. #cleaneating #wholefoods #healthyfood #1stphorm #s2faction #100poundsdown

Vacation time!☀️🌴. . You are on vacation so absolutely: dance 💃, stay up late, sleep in, indulge in treats 🧁 🍨 and cocktails 🍹. Remember a week off your schedule won’t break you! You did not make all your gainz in one week!💪🏻. . But if you are like me and don’t want to stray too far off course here are some ideas:. . -Stay hydrated!!! 💦 Drink at least 100-128 oz of water. . -Run or walk. Just pack the shoes and you are off! (Or barefoot in the sand!) I love running in new places: best way to go sightseeing and discover hidden beauty 😍. . -Plan healthy snacks and bring your supplements. @1stphorm @s2faction protein sticks and protein bars are the best! You can also easily pack up individual servings of your supplements in ziplock bags. . -Stay active and move your body. Rent bikes 🚲, play sand volleyball 🏐, play frisbee, play pickleball, play spike ball, play tennis 🎾. . -Workout with a view 🌊 🏔! 15-30 minutes makes a huge difference. Resistance tubes are easy to pack. Body weight squats, lunges, push ups, planks: all provide a good workout. . Find a local gym. @josh.lane and I already went once this week and got a good lift in! 💪🏻😤 Worth the drop in rate of $15 and was only $40 for the week: @perdidohealthclub247 . . Happy Summer!!! ☀️ Wishing you and your family and friends safe travels and rest and relaxation! Enjoy!

So proud of my guy @kramere_ for bringing this to life. If you’re looking for a gym, personal training, group fitness classes, and supportive community - hit up @ready_ft On its way to being one of THE best fitness + wellness facilities in STL, and it’s only been open a couple months. I can’t wait to watch this place grow + thrive 💪🏽 They have SO much more in the works too! 🤫🔥🧊🧖 If you are a trainer or fitness instructor looking to host classes or train clients out of this spot - DM me! If you KNOW someone who would want to check this place out, tag them below or send this to them! Support small + local gyms 🫶🏽 #stlouis #s2faction #stlgym #stlouismo #iam1stphorm #stlouisfitness

Happy birthday Pops Had a nice baseball talk last night with you enjoy your day! #iam1stphorm #s2faction #timclinefitness #clinezphysiques #618physiques

The #1 supplement I recommend to new clients is …. PROTEIN Most are not consuming enough as is throughout the day and if they’re not consuming enough then I know for a fact they are probably not doing anything post workout and their protein is not where it needs to be to achieve the results they want whether it’s fat loss or weight gain. whey protein is the MOST bioavailable form of protein meaning it absorbs and can be used by your body quickest which helps with recovery and building or maintaining lean muscle. However, you still want to keep in mind not all whey proteins are created equal. Look for: - if it’s Low temperature processed (these proteins are nicer on your stomach and don’t make you feel bloated or gassy) - powder form… quit asking if a protein drink like Fairlife or Jocko Milk is better it’s not.. if you’re in a bind sure but it’s still not as bioavailable. - Isolate or sustained assimilation/meal replacement (there is a difference! Isolates are post workout and mrps are for snacks/meals/smoothies etc) Be mindful of what’s in your shaker cup! You’re working your a$$ off to achieve your goals, so make sure you’re not slowing or preventing progress by either not taking post workout or putting a crappy cheap brand in your body.. again they’re not all created equal! ➡️ SWIPE TO SEE MY GO TOs Now move your body, drink your protein, and conquer the weak friends!! 🫶💪 #s2faction #tildeathfitness #kcfitness #fitnessjourney #protein #supplementsuperstores #kansascity #fitnessmotivation #goals #progress #nutritioncoach

5-19-2024 Sprint Triathlon! . Goals: -finish✅️ -have better transition times than last time✅️ -enjoy it/have fun✅️ . Previous PR: 1:49:08 Current PR: 1:38:04!! PR'd by 11:04!😄 . Segment splits: Swim- 23:42 T1- 1:30 Bike- 45:37 T2- 0:57 Run- 26:17 . I placed 3rd in my age group!! This was with only a week of specifically training for it, 3 weeks post marathon, and 5 hours of sleep (I normally get 8+). I plan on another sprint tri this summer with more time to train, get another PR, and maybe another medal. . Things I've learned: • Practice grabbing food/water on the bike. I put water on my left side and it was more difficult than it should've been to grab. It should've been on my right side because it's easier to balance. •Get clip in shoes or the pedals that have straps. I spent too much time trying to get the right foot placement. •Transitions aren't the time to slow down. It's the time to focus on the next section of the race and move fast. This is where I was able to cut a total of 5:19 from my previous time. . Big shoutout to my mom & @kathy.b.wagner9 for being there to cheer me on. . I love running, but it's nice to switch it up with triathlons. . Next up is a 10k in June. . . . #s2faction #1stphorm #weightlifting #womenwholift #strong #hybridathlete #runner #longdistancerunning #marathontraining #triathlete #triathlon #triathlontraining #3rdplace #swim #bike #run #lean #muscles #becomingabeast #explorepage💪

Roll and Embrace with Life’s Punches A lot has happened this year that were unexpected, but I know God had a reasoning for these events to make me grow as an individual. As someone who is reserved and doesn’t like to talk about struggles or roadblocks, this prep season gave me the mindset of being blessed to have made it all the way to the end. Being in graduate school while helping run a family business, I knew adding more responsibilities was not going to be an easy task, but my ambitious side wanted to do the work. With countless restless nights, unlucky days, school workload, managing to train and walk with a lingering torn iliacus, and house being broken into, I was physically and mentally drained. Seeing my family scarred and people I care about working hard, I knew I had to stand tall and do whatever it takes without any complaints nor excuses. For that, words can’t express how much I appreciate and cherish these special people making me the character I am today. To my coach and brother @chasengainz , thank you for sticking with me till the end even with the amount of roadblocks occurred. From meeting you from the beginning I had a feeling we would click and knew I made the right choice to represent one of the hardest working individuals I ever met wanting to do more in life and bodybuilding. We delivered a package that I wouldn’t have imagined attaining without your support and coaching strategy. With the results of how the show went, I know people will tell me that maybe this isn’t meant for me, but I don’t know how to quit. I’m rather excited and itching to improve more knowing I can survive in hell and make it back out with any curveball life throws at me. The possibility of competing this year is very likely, but will be up to coach’s decision.

Most people can’t improve unless conditions are ideal.. If you can get better in hard times, imagine how great you will be in ideal times.. #s2 #1stphorm #s2faction #dominate

Felt good to get movement in. Fingers crossed it stays for a bit. I miss moving and it definitely helps with my anxiety. Walking is great but I need more lol so that’s a small win over here. #trainingforbirth #s2faction #mamabear #anxietyfighter

Excited about our week ahead of sun, sand, sunsets and no schedule! 🙌🏻. . We plan to spend more time making dinner vs going out and do our theme nights: Shrimp boil, Mexican, Italian, Pizza…. Our drive down was almost all in rain. Yesterday morning into afternoon was all rain.. 😝. . But it stopped and last night’s sunset was beautiful! 🥰. . “Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully.” . Time goes by way too fast. Don’t forget to stop and enjoy life this summer! 💙💙💖💙🏖️ 🌴☀️.

One lesson, I have had to learn again and again..... Our mindset determines our reality. If you think you can or can't, you are probably correct. Your mind is a powerful tool. Choose positive thoughts and watch your world transform. #S2Faction #duespaid #whateverittakes #75Hard

I’ve been focusing solely on whole foods here recently. Just meats, greek yogurt, fruits, rice, and a post workout shake after lifts. . How great I feel is hard to explain but I’m no longer dragging through the days and I have motivation to be in the gym to lift hard as hell. Weight has been dropping fast!! . Gotta say this round of OTP is going great! 💪🏼

Here’s a few movements from my back day a couple weeks ago. Full workout below ⬇️ Disclaimer: I am training for hypertrophy, so I don’t ego lift and move a ton of weight. I keep constant tension on the muscle and fatigue the muscle group fully that I am trying to hit. Only 3 movements were filmed to look back and critique my form. 7x15 cable pullover 4x10 T bar row (Filmed) 3x12-15 seated row 3x6 rack pulls 3x12 overhand grip pulldowns (Filmed) 3x12 DB shrugs (Filmed) Programmed by @timjon88 💪🏼 #s2faction #dominateyourlife

So so proud of these two. I don’t think either one of them wanted to be in the gym today but they both came and got busy putting in the work. Thankful for friends who want to get healthy with me!!! Love these faces!!!!! @_jax86_ @jenniferhanks #workout #fitness #duespaid #1stphorm #s2faction #clubfitnessarnold

Coached my first client @braxpumps into his first all natural show. We did a 12 weeks prep and everything worked as anticipated. We made little adjustments along the way and come show day he was dialed in! I’m very pleased with the package we brought to the stage. Bodybuilding Men’s Lightweight - 1st True Novice - 1st Novice - 1st Open Unfortunately Lost in the overall, but bringing home 3 medals. The winner had killer back and hamstrings. He’s got some work in those two areas, but outside of that his next coach will have a great client capable of bringing a killer package to any stage! I appreciate the opportunity to coach and see what I was capable of bringing to the stage as well as the athlete.

vibin today 🤙🏼 @tiffany_eickhoff always the ultimate inspiration 🤍 photo creds: @eleanorelizabethh #s2faction #dominate #whateverittakes

A special congrats to @mrsjg_healthandfitness for taking 1st place in Open Class C. It’s never easy after one show to hold your conditioning and then roll into another show a few weeks later. Jolynne…You made it look easy…and this is the result of all your hard work and determination. Enjoy this…You deserve it! ⁣ #OGKnowledge #beaforce #ForcePerformance #discipline #commitment #iam1stphorm #routine #75HARD #discipline #mindset #hypertrophy #macros #nutrition #theOG #npc #ifbb #bikini #s2faction

From around my late 20s to late 40s, I led a generally sedentary lifestyle. There have been many, many days, where I’ve sat in front of my computer for literally 14 hours working. But in 2022, I made a pronounced change to my physical life and somehow, I’ve been able to maintain a new, very physical lifestyle, for almost two years. I started running in August of 2022. I started lifting weights in October of 2022. I did started lap swimming two or three times a week at the Washington pool last summer. I occasionally ride a bike. I want to go rowing. I want to hike a 14er. I enjoy physical labor, just for the challenge of it. I’ve established a lifestyle that includes intentional physical exercise that is just as regular and routine as sleeping or eating. I treat it as a normal, yet required, part of my life. It is part of who I am. Nothing more, nothing less. That said, I intentionally (almost) never go hard or grind or do anything that I wouldn’t be capable of maintaining for the next 30 years of my life. I’m not training for anything, though I may do a triathlon at some point (I did complete a half-marathon). I’m not trying to hit lift goals, though I try to lift in a way that I’m getting stronger and always adding weight (I wouldn’t mind legitimate pecs haha). I call my workouts “zen-style” or “chill workouts.” I say this to encourage people to include intentional movement in their lifestyle. Just enough to raise the heart rate. Not too much to risk injury. Something you could do forever. Because it will change your life. I returned home this evening after dark from a nephew’s graduation party. I ate out healthy (Chipotle – double protein, half rice, half beans, no cheese), but I did enjoy some treats. It was 10:30pm, but I decided to go ahead and burn a few extra calories and mark my workout calendar with an aerobic workout. I completed a five-mile bike ride with my head lamp. I pushed, but not too hard. Got the heart rate up, but not too far. I sweated, but not too much. I’ll sleep well tonight. #fitlife #healthyhabits #1stphorm #s2faction
