One of the common issues I see DAILY within the fitness and nutrition industry is everyone wanting to get super in the weeds of what is "optimal." The issue I have with this is that you will literally over-complicate this shit 🤣. Asking which angle or grip is "most optimal" for a curl is nuts when you aren't even a body building competitor at the peak of their game. Or "is a protein shake or real food most optimal post-workout" There's so much nuance. I say this because unless you are nailing your nutrition, lifts, cardio, recovery....the nitty gritty will NOT matter and you will get lost in it all. There is a hierarchy to this that I tend to follow. 1. Nutritional adherence - plans followed to a T 2. Training- also plans followed to a T and training near or at failure for a hypertrophic response 3. Recovery- sleep and stress is well in-check 4. Nitty gritty stuff is last! Build your foundation on the basics (#1-3 above) and GET REALLY GOOD AT THE BASICS. They will take you further than any "optimizing" will. Happy Wednesday homies Coach Em

Hey guys! We’ve got a monthly progress check in next Tuesday at 6:30 PM central time zone. As a reminder this one is genuinely open for you to get help and ask questions that is related to your health and fitness goals. There will be a meeting reminder, email the day before. The week after, Tuesday we will have a virtual meeting that is dedicated to learning how to understand food labels. And all of the misconceptions and nuances associated with them. On the queer webinar series – I will be looking to have the first pilot group beginning late August to September. As a reminder, this webinar series is going to be intensive, and if you are someone who truly wants to understand nutrition, and how to have a sustainable, healthy lifestyle, this is for you. It is queer centered and aim to bring the most up-to-date nutrition guidelines that are available. If you have any questions regarding the above, you can either DM me or just comment here! Coach Em

Happy Pride Y'all!

Hey parrrrty people!! I am finishing up the final touches on our first module for Skool: Calculating Calories for Maintenance. This module will hold the information for a key concept I think each person needs to know and understand right at the beginning of their health and fitness journey. See the outline below: - Maintenance Defined - Why nutrition matters for maintenance - Understanding Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) - Overview of macronutrients (carbs, fats, proteins) and their purpose - The Calculation Equation - The easier equation - Tracking the variables that contribute to TDEE - Success! I am hoping to record and post this module to our classroom within the next couple of weeks. That being said, this module will be FREE to all of my premium members, but a really low $19 investment for all other members. As you know, my goal is to bring the most up-to-date education and information to you all but doing so in the proper way TAKES TIME. Majority of these modules and courses cost hundreds of dollars typically, but I promise to keep these modules as accessible as possible for all my queer-folk. Please drop any questions you have below- exciting stuff still coming your way!! Coach Em
