Personal Transformation Story

When I decided to leave BTY a year ago, I was looking for something and had that feeling and question, that I think a lot of people have “why don’t I ever feel like I’m enough?”

So, I made a bold decision. Left the gym, moved to California then Austin, started a new company, and switched my training to men’s physique. The results:

Dialed my nutrition in more than ever.
Training became less and less fun.

Got leaner than I’ve ever been in my life.
Won 1st place in 2 of my 3 shows.

Didn’t love California or Austin, moved back to Chicago.

In seeking the “why don’t I ever feel like enough?” Didn’t change because I was focusing on the wrong things. When the outcome of training is just for low bodyfat and vanity, you have to acknowledge a few things:

You’re going to get weaker
You have to deprive yourself of calories for energy
You’re going to feel tired all the time

The perks, sometimes if you’re outside with your shirt off, someone will tell you “nice abs” but more often than that, they’ll say “eat a donut!” And unless you’re on a lot of drugs, you’ll just feel really skinny with your clothes on.

Where am I going with this?

When I’m most fulfilled in my training, I’m doing it for my health, strength, and athleticism. So I can do MORE things. So I have MORE energy.

This is why I created the STRONG ATHLETE program. This is what I love. Getting stronger and being more athletic. Being able to do more things outside of the gym. And feeling that way with my shirt on or off.

Results in 1 year:
Happier
More Energy
Doubled Max Strict Pull-ups
+150 pounds on Back Squat
+50 pounds on Press
+30 pounds of muscle

Because I’ve loved the results of this program so much, I’m looking for some people to share in the journey with me for FREE.

What you get:
8 weeks of programming on Train Heroic
Meal Plan (Flexible food list included)
Customized Supplement Protocol
Text Support
Private Group Access for Q&A

Please share!

Do you know your blood work?

In order to put the most bulletproof plan together, I wanted to add another very valuable layer to our programs, blood work.

As someone who is disciplined to take care of nutrition, training, and recovery, I couldn't help but notice that I spent more time dragging myself into the gym, and just going through the motions. Getting people the best results possible, as well as myself, is my livelihood. I found an amazing, proactive, and incredibly physically and aesthetically fit Doctor to work with.

If you've had a hard time making a breakthrough, struggle with energy and motivation, or feel like you're doing everything right but aren't seeing the results. You may just be missing what your blood is showing you.

If you want to learn more, schedule a free call with me. We're friends on here for a reason, so no matter what it's time well spent. ..initial blood work is part of your plan to Chicago locals.

I'm looking for 10 people who are looking for a reason to:
Get in the best shape of their life
Give up drinking
Have more energy
Have a tailor made plan that you actually enjoy
Find a plan that actually delivers the results that you want
Live a longer, healthier life

If you are Chicago local, I will pay for your blood work, so we can get started on a personal hormone optimization program to get you into the best mental and physical state of your life.

Thank You!

I want to express the amount of gratitude I have for this community that I’ve been fortunate to be a part of for the last 6+ years. Chicago has been my home since 2007 and BTY since 2016. So many amazing people have crossed my path, and have allowed me to grow into this new path. I will always have a special place for this community and have been blessed to have seen so much growth and development in and out of the BTY doors.

As Amira and I move into our next chapter in California, I’ll be continuing the BTY program and West Loop location as I head into building more transformations and continuing this work.

3 Ways to Improve your Strict Press

Having the proper set-up before beginning the lift is key. Although the strict press is an upper body lift, it requires all the non-moving parts to be engaged. Legs through the core should stay as rigid as possible.

Bar set-up and upper body engagement will make you more efficient on the lift as well as decreasing your likelihood of injury.

Telling your origin story is an essential piece of the transformation process. Instead of filling a void and trying to overcome your past, you get to share the meaningful moments, be heard, and get some peace about what got you here!
