Client spotlight: Charlie Rusch @charlayyyroosch is a coaching client on @getverb who lost 45lbs in 7 months working with me. Here’s what he had to say about the experience:

“Jacob has helped transform all aspects of my life. He helped install a game plan with a set goal in mind, and made it really easy to understand that sticking to the script will lead to results.

At the beginning, tracking meals, hitting protein goals and even staying in a calorie deficit was a challenge, but once I was acclimated it became second nature. I was able to make substitutions in my diet while still being able to eat the majority of foods that I enjoy. Finding lower calorie and higher protein food sources has become a fun part of my grocery hauls while also focusing on including high fiber sources. In terms of the workouts, he’s laid out specific plans tailored to my goals and helped me really dial in and get stronger over several months.

My conversations with Jacob have always been great and he’s always willing to point you in the right direction while encouraging you to push yourself harder. Thanks to the help from Jacob I’ve lost 45lbs, I have a lot more energy and focus, and I’ve been able to really change my habits and push myself to get better every day. The main thing that I’ve learned is that consistency is what ultimately leads to the result. I’ve cut back my alcohol intake and for the most part don’t let weekends take me off track.”

Here are a couple examples of mechanical dropsets. You can apply this conceptually to your training in order to intensify it or extend a set.

1️⃣ TRX row: You can start in a lowered position, once it gets challenging walk yourself up slightly and continue to progress the set

2️⃣ Pushups: Start with a traditional pushup. When you get tired, put your hands on an elevated surface so your shoulders are higher than your hips and you can extend this set doing this mechanically easier version.

Client spotlight: Antonio @antonio_did_ is a coaching client on @getverb who uses my app for his workouts. I’ve only had the pleasure of meeting him once in real life, during which time I took him through a brutal leg day session. Antonio has had a lot of success getting stronger and putting on muscle. I’m really excited about what the next 6 months are going to look like for him, including having to buy bigger jeans.

My app is going live in June to the general population. It has a video library of over 600 exercises that tells you exactly what to do and how to do it. All of the exercises are demonstrated by me with a voiceover detailing technique and what you need to focus on while training.

Here is my quad and glute-focused leg day:

1️⃣ Pendulum squat, 3×10 reps, training near to failure on every set
2️⃣ Leg press, 3x approx 15 reps. Usually I take a 3 minute break between working sets, but on the last set of leg press I only take a minute break and go right into…
3️⃣ Smith machine reverse lunges, 2 sets to near failure
4️⃣ Machine abduction, 3×15 reps

Two major reasons why people screw up their rear delt training:

1️⃣ They squeeze their shoulder blades together when in fact they should be reaching to the entire range of motion. Think about keeping the wrists away from the shoulders the entire time you’re pulling. Squeezing your shoulder blades together is great for your lats and mid back muscles, not so much for your rear delts.

2️⃣ They don’t train their rear delts intensely enough. You should be going for broke when doing lateral raises or reverse flies. Your deltoids can train to nearly the brink of failure. You need to push yourself when doing these exercises.

Client spotlight: Michael Calbi @mcalbi721 is a coaching client on @getverb and he also trains in person with me twice a week. He lost 42lbs in 6 months working with me. Here’s what he had to say about the experience:

“My son was born last June, and I distinctly remember looking at a picture of us at the Jersey shore on family vacation in August and I was not happy with how I looked or felt at the time. The ‘dad bod’ was in full force and I wasn’t ready to accept that. A friend of mine recommended Jake and the rest was history. He told me, ‘I want you to be there when your son is getting married.’ That hit me hard considering my father passed away when I was 14 years old. I stuck to my calories, busted my ass training with him twice a week and did the rest on my own.

If you want results this is a complete no brainer. They will come. The accountability of daily check ins and tracking what I ate made things simple and proved you don’t have to starve yourself to drop some weight. 42lbs later I had to get my belts all adjusted because my waist shrunk to a point I didn’t think I would be back at. This isn’t just some personal trainer who is trying to make a quick buck from you, he truly cares about all his clients and someone I now consider a friend.”
