April 2019. One year after rupturing both quad tendons, I was still in physical therapy rebuilding my strength, balance and confidence.

This was a BIG moment for me. When you’ve been knocked all the way down, something that looks small to everybody else can feel like a damn VICTORY. 💪🏾

Seven years later, I know something I didn’t know then: sometimes you have to learn how to come back more than once.

This past year brought a different kind of loss. A different kind of rebuilding.

And I’ve learned a comeback doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it’s one step. One workout. One good day. One decision to keep moving.

Back then, the test was becoming the testimony. Maybe it still is.

If you’re rebuilding from something right now, what’s one small win that reminded you you’re still moving forward?

Fellas, strength still matters.

I don't train the same way I did 20 years ago. I train smarter now, but I'm not giving up the basics.

Pull-ups. Controlled reps. Full effort.

I'm training for longevity, but that doesn't mean training soft.

Are pull-ups still in your rotation?

Want to build your back? You don’t need to turn the lat pulldown into a weight-swinging contest. 😂

Change the grip. Control the weight. Get the stretch. Pull with your back.

Simple doesn’t mean easy. Good reps. Good form. Consistency.

Which lat-pulldown variation do you use most?

Fellas, stop ego lifting. 👀💪🏾

There’s a difference between training hard and letting your ego choose the weight.

A friend of mine came into the gym, skipped his warm-up and tried to make a huge jump on the bench. It ended with a serious pec injury.

After more than 40 years in the gym, here’s what I know:

More weight doesn’t always mean more results.

Warm up. Use good form. Control the weight. Train smart enough to still be doing this years from now.

When you know better, you do better.

What’s one lifting mistake you had to learn the hard way?

Comment TEST and I’ll send you a quick check-in to help identify which area needs your attention most.

At one point, my testosterone had dropped lower than a woman’s.

I felt like sh*t.

Years of stress and waiting too long to get checked had caught up with me.

Fellas, if you’re:

❌ Training hard but not building muscle
❌ Tired all the time
❌ Dealing with a low s*x drive
❌ Gaining body fat

Don’t ignore it.

These symptoms can have several causes, so talk to a qualified hormone specialist and get tested.
And NO your primary care physician doesn’t automatically test for this. 👀

After all of the back to back to back to back Grief that our family went through last year, my wife Nicole and I will definitely be there.

It’s still very very hard on me.. My Mom passed away and then my Uncle Marvin passed, then my Aunt Pann passed away right before her husband my Uncle Bimbo passed.. All of this happened within to 8 months apart.. 😥😥🙏🏾🙏🏾
