You don’t have to “earn” your favorite foods. You don’t have to avoid restaurants or skip dessert.

Yesterday, that meant enjoying an incredible slice of carrot cake from @skyilightkitchenpelham. 🍰

Flexible dieting is about learning how to fit the foods you love into a plan that actually works.

The people who stay lean year after year aren’t perfect—they’re consistent.

Enjoy the cake.
Track it.
Hit your protein.
Get your workout in.
Move on.

That’s how I enjoyed one of the best slices of carrot cake around and still stayed on track.

Huge shoutout to @skyilightkitchenpelham for an amazing dessert.

The fat free muscle index is a good way to break down achievable goals.

The fat free muscle index is a good way to break down achievable goals.

We are constantly bombarded with these bodies, and oftentimes, they aren’t honest about everything they’re taking.

I used my own stats and ran it through @menno.henselmans’ fat free muscle index to evaluate my own potential.

My physique isn’t easily attainable given that this is my career, but it’s also helpful to have this information when it comes to combating body dysmorphia and not being so susceptible to all the “perfect” physiques out there and to have a realistic expectation of what you can achieve naturally.

Also remember: achieving your ultimate physique takes years.

I train clients at @madisonavestrengthlab in Larchmont, NY. it’s the most high-end in gyn in Westchester, hands down. But if you can’t afford to train with me, here are gyms in the area I would recommend:

⏩@immortalfitness, Hawthorne, NY
Incredible atmosphere, the staff is super welcoming, and the equipment is top tier. This is my favorite gym in Northern Westchester, and one of my favorite gyms for building muscle.

⏩@probodyfitnessofny, Mamaroneck, NY
This is a very hardcore atmosphere, the lighting is dark and the music is bumping. This is very much a heads down, hoodies up training environment. Along with the intensity, the equipment is top notch.

⏩@iron.vault, Scarsdale, NY
This gym has the best equipment in Westchester, and the median age is the lowest I’ve ever seen in a gym, a lot of teenagers here with a lot of tripods. The aesthetic is second only to @madisonavestrengthlab

My clients are busy, they don’t have hours and hours to spend in the gym. What’s the solution? Creat

My clients are busy, they don’t have hours and hours to spend in the gym. What’s the solution? Creating as efficient workouts as possible.

The answer to this lies in supersets that focus on non-synergistic muscles. This means muscles that don’t have anything to do with each other.

It could look like this combo:
⏩Legs
⏩Push movement
⏩Pull movement

Or
⏩Push movement
⏩Pull movement
⏩Ab movement

If you’re doing a 2 day split, it’s important to do 3-5 sets per muscle group and to make sure each of your supersets involve exercises that do not work the same muscles.

A friend randomly gave me @jacked.granny protein bars to try, and I was immediately blown away by the taste.

MACROS:
⏩180 calories
⏩ 16 grams of protein
⏩ 6 grams of fiber
This doesn’t pass my protein test, but it’s pretty close.

TASTE:
The taste is surprisingly delicious. It is a little bit chalky, but that comes from the cacao, and the flavor is delicious with no aftertaste.

All in all, despite these bars narrowly failing the protein test, I am a fan.

Most people don’t gain the most weight during the holidays…

Most people don’t gain the most weight during the holidays…

They gain it between the 4th of July and Labor Day. ☀️

The goal isn’t to avoid BBQs or vacations, it’s to enjoy them in moderation.

I still grill with friends, eat out, and enjoy a drink.

The difference:
✔ Never miss your workouts.
✔ Hit your protein goal.
✔ Prioritize fiber.
✔ Get right back to your routine after the holiday.

One holiday won’t ruin your progress.

Consistency is what gets results.

It’s safe to say nobody wants dementia, but did you know exercising is the best way to prevent it?

It’s safe to say nobody wants dementia, but did you know exercising is the best way to prevent it?

Norwegian Protocol of 4 minutes on, 3 minutes off has been proven to be improve your VO2 max and may play a major factor in improving cognition.

Want to look better?

Want to look better?

Here are four exercises that will improve your aesthetics:
1️⃣ Lateral raises
It makes your shoulders look rounder and waist smaller
2️⃣ Pull downs/ pull ups
A strong, defined back looks better, plus it makes your waist appear smaller.
3️⃣ Squat/ leg press
Exercises that focus on your quads are going to help your legs look more cylinder and bubbly, giving your lower body a lot of shape, and the appearance of a smaller waist.
4️⃣ Direct ab work
Your abs will look leaner and have more definition regardless of body fat.

BONUS: Put down the fork. Leaner looks better, no matter if you’re a man or woman.

I have to say, I have a lot of respect for brands like @davidprotein that keep sending me products knowing that I’m going to give an honest review.

All in all, I was pleased with their protein ice cream.

MACROS:
⏩260 calories
⏩ 30 grams of protein
⏩ Fat and fiber vary for each flavor
This passes my protein test.

*The vanilla actually has 210 calories, the other 3 flavors have 260 calories

TASTE:
Solid flavor across the board. My favorite was the triple chocolate and least favorite was the cookie dough, it still had that aftertaste lingering.

The macros hold up, and the flavors are delicious. This gets my stamp of approval.
