My father's health has always been the catalyst to my personal training career. I was only in early Highschool when he had his first major heart attack. Things got good, he cold bad habits cold turkey (smoking, drinking) but stress was always there. Too little too late perhaps. Unsure. But 3 weeks ago, I got a call that he was in the hospital again. This time they barely caught a aneurysm in his heart. He loves to fight another battle. After the life saving stints were put in, he informed me this was his 7th surgery in 7 years. I do not want this for my future family. This is why I do what I do. One day you wake up and just know you need to be different. Do I have the healthiest lifestyle? Absolutely Not. But I'm doing things now (and have been for years now) to help prevent what's to come my way. Go to the gym, not only for you, but the ones who care about you.

Didn't make the line to to meet the legends but also read the room and they were OVER it. Absolute chaos in the for Game 6 at home for the Rays Couple tequila sodas and this green tea shot my girl apparently loved. Cheers dorks, Who's getting after it this week in the gym? Someone post a lift or something, PLEASE. Who's golfing this week?? I finally am gonna get out there on a big boy course on Saturday. See how this oblique holds up

Rough Week. Life is always going to life but remember that taking care of yourself is just as important when shit is hitting the fan. Shout out @Nicholas Panjwani & @Max Rassman for really committing to their craft of getting better week by week. Your consistency and engagement in this group does not go unnoticed. Thank you. Video is last Set of my 5x5 on bench today. It wasn't about maxing out, but being consistent with a challenging weight. The holiday season is creeping up quick, this is the time to build momentum and the foundation that will set you up for success in the new year. Lock in now so you have the wiggle room come end of November and December. To those that have been grinding it out all year, this is truly where the magic all happens and you build upon what you have committed to. Don't. Let. Of. The. Fuckin. Gas.

Up 16 lbs since the end of July and have gained 3 lbs of muscle in the last month without sacrificing body fat. Trying to get to 185 before cutting back down. Bench press is up 15 lbs as well 💪 Proof is in the pudding! Eat more! Lift BIG! #trusttylae

Finally all moved in to our house.. but now I don’t have a gym to walk to (not that I was ever good at going…). But for now, until the dumbbells come in, it’ll be body weight exercises and mobility .. 35 hit me like a ton of bricks… Ps. Built in sauna because even in the winter it’s a balmy 95ºF & humid in Puerto Rico ..
