Before we could walk….. we crawled! It’s a movement pattern that helps aid big time with using your core!
Strong core = less back pain
Strong core = better balance
Strong core = engaging abs easier
Tag a friend you want to challenge 💪🏻
Do something you hate so much they think you love it 😂
I’ve ran since I was 12 and did it for the mental. But if you think I enjoy it while doing it you’re ohhhh so very wrong. I do it because the feeling I get everytime I overcome the thoughts of not wanting to is a huge dopamine hit.
Do something you hate that’s good for you. Watch that brain change overtime 🫡

Every Saturday in my neighborhood, we race each other.
Two teams.
One course.
Running. Strength. Endurance.
First team to finish wins.
Something special happens when you don’t want to let your team down…
and you really want to beat the other one.
You find another gear.
The version of you that doesn’t show up alone.
When it’s over, there’s a winning team and a losing team…
but everyone walks away feeling like they won.
Because you gave more than you thought you had.
In the end, all that’s left is gratitude—
for the friends and neighbors who showed you what you are capable of.
That’s the gift of Saturday mornings.

Lessons I want my son to learn
- work harder than most & you will go further than most.
- laugh….. it’s contagious & the best medicine.
- be unapologetically yourself and don’t be anything else
- don’t be a sheep in this world…. There’s a lot of them.
- you don’t need a ton of friends you only need a couple people that truly love you.
My biggest flex 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Pushing others to be better versions of themselves day after day 🤝

Welcoming a new addition to our family this year and making this new house a home. Feeling extremely fortunate and can’t wait to meet our sweet baby girl this September 🎀
You don’t really know a man when everything is easy.
You meet him when it gets hard.
When the music fades, the legs are heavy, and there’s nowhere to hide.
When the excuses run out and all that’s left is breath, effort, and heart.
That’s the Pain Cave.
It’s not about fitness.
It’s about truth.
No titles.
No status.
No filters.
Just who you are when things get uncomfortable.
And something happens in that space…
Walls come down.
Egos fade.
Real respect is built.
Because when you’ve suffered next to someone,
when you’ve pushed through that moment where you wanted to quit…
you don’t just know them, you trust them.
We didn’t just build a gym in a garage.
We built a place where truth shows up.
Where neighbors become brothers.
Where strength isn’t just physical.
Where you find out who you are.
We know that we are of the spirit.
We met in the Pain Cave.

Taking dads and chads across San Diego with ages varying from 20’s to mid 40’s to compete weekly against each other has been one of my favorite experiences as a trainer.
You realize how much you miss competing, comrade, and team work from sports growing up. As humans we’re wired to hunt & gather as tribes. Obviously our modern day has changed very much…… but our natural instinct hasn’t. What this weekly class taps into makes you feel more human each time you take it! 📸 @828growth

@bridgetmlevine told me recently we had the same size traps……🤔🤔🤔
Listen ladies. Putting on muscle doesn’t happen that easily and when you do gain muscle the benefits are insane. After 30 it will get harder & harder to put on muscle. Don’t ever let the fear of “getting bulky” stop you from getting stronger. Having muscle is what makes you look “tone” “lean” and have shape. If you don’t have muscle it will be fat that takes its place.
For a woman to get my traps you will need the same level of testosterone as me and lift hard as you gain consistently for 15 years……
If it was easy to build muscle, strength, while having crazy lungs everyone would do it.
The fitness space is showing that the ultimate athlete is all about being balanced with both elements of strength & endurance!
But programming and finding time for both is not easy and takes effort.
DM if your goal is to be better at both elements at the same time 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
