Lift & Learn

After talking about why sleep is important, sports being back, and my golf adventure, I talk about why enjoying workouts is key, and why doing different forms of exercise can be so beneficial.

After talking about why form is so important, my birthday weekend, and some basketball talk, I talk about why tempo of your exercises is so important and why practicing exercises can be beneficial.

After talking about why taking care of your health is a free, personal choice, my birthday golf weekend, and latest injury, I talk about a few ways you can deal with burnout, and why focusing on strength can lead to more positive physical and mental changes.

After talking about why testing your 1RM is pointless, some blockbuster TV, and some sports I got into this week, I talk about why you might need to stop flat barbell bench pressing and I talk about how long your workouts should be.

After talking about why being in shape is actually simple (but not easy!) and some sports, I talk about why mobility and flexibility is so important for you and how long you should be resting between sets.

After talking about why creatine is so cheap, my training, golf, and what I’ve been watching this Summer, I talk about if you should use the same weights for all of your sets and why your mindset, when it comes to cardio, is so important.

After talking about how to get back into exercise after a layoff (sick, COVID-19, vacation), I talk about how you can use fitness trackers properly and why you need to be constantly drinking fluids during your workouts.

After breaking down why working out 1-3 days per week is the right dose of exercise for most people, I talk about my vacation to San Francisco, California, and why you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself when it comes to your diet when you’re away. In the fitness topics for today I’ll give you some tips and exercises to improve your squat depth and how to increase your grip strength.

After talking about how to hit a baseball, some of my training, and a quick recap of my last few weeks, and COVID, I talk about how you can improve your health outside of the gym and how you can balance resistance training and sports throughout the week.

After talking about mistakes and why it’s okay for them to happen, a bit of my own training, and questionable Instagram influencers, I talk about what your calorie intake should be, how much protein you should be eating, and how you can eat out to restaurants and not gain too much body fat.
