I just finished working out with my coach and let me tell you all something. Your workouts are going to be hard. You’re going to be tired. You’re going to push yourself. It’s going to be intense. That doesn’t mean you cheat your reps and sets. Because you cheating reps only affects you. Nobody else, it directly affects you and your progress. There was several people today that I saw working out that skipped their reps and sets massively. Nobody said anything to them. But their results will show. Take your time, complete your workout. Every rep and every set. It’s going to be intense, it’s going to be tiring, it will test you. That’s the point, that’s how you get stronger. Don’t talk about it, be about it

There’s nothing I dislike more than walking up at 5-5:10 a.m to go workout. It never gets easier, I always go to bed late because of work or school. It’s always a fight. But everytime I finish the workout, it was worth it. It’ll be 7am and I already completed a relatively intense workout. Already completed more than 76% of the world. So it’s worth it, I feel good, I feel ready to attack my day. All because I got past myself for 15 minutes in the morning and went to the gym. So it never gets easier, matter of fact sometimes it gets harder to wake up, but if you can win that fight consistently. You’ll see progress. What’s something you’re struggling with, that you wish was easier?

Attached is a photo of my training facilities monthly mantra. They do this each month with a short phrase to push you to become better This months talks about how you can only depend on yourself. This applies to all of you in every way shape and form. Nobody is going to do it how you can. Nobody is going to be able to handle it the way you need to. You have to get up and do it yourself. You have to be prepared, be focused, be disciplined, and most of all be faithful. Not only in the process, but also in God. They end it off with saying “tribe up with others” this community, this platform, this place is that “tribe”. Regardless of our numbers right now, we are a community of athletes becoming better people and better athletes. We’re all the same. Don’t talk about it, be about it Owen

Won 3-1, overall the team played good, but in the second half level dropped a bit but we did what we needed to do. I played good but always room for improvement.

This is a post for two reasons. To hold myself accountable and be transparent about me in all aspects I can be. Ive attached three photos of my physique. 3 years of my life. All 3 are with no pump, after I ate, and fully relaxed. As you can clearly see there is a huge difference. 1- I just played my first UPSL match and realized things needed to change if I wanted a chance at winning and becoming a pro. The mirror is a hotel mirror in New Orleans. Thats where I said im done and I'm going to change. I was 225 2- This is my physique after a few months. I actually built myself programs, worked out with intensity, tracked everything I consumed. This was a pivotal moment in not just my career but in my life. Without getting too deep, this is where I learned that this game is all mental. And when you see yourself having results. It's a snowball effect and you just keep pushing and keep going harder and harder and learning and getting better. My vertical was 31 inches, I was 173 in this photo. The lightest I've ever been. I maintained this throughout my pro career and then touched the 180s in college. (cafe food kills macros) 3- This is this morning. I'm 208lbs. Very close to the weight I was in the first photo. There's really no excuse, I just didn't prioritize my health and fitness. I started training like a bodybuilder and becoming very lazy on my diet. But that changes and has been since this platform started 1 month ago. But each month, I'm going to be posting my progress here in this tab. So you all can see that I am practicing what I preach. And so you know it's not impossible. It only takes 2 things. Time and Discipline. Thats it For anyone starting over who was once an athlete and lost their physique. Join me in this journey of being accountable and looking better. These systems and workouts work. I know they do because it's what I used to achieve my physique in the 2nd photo. And now with more knowledge and even a better structure. I'm looking to blow that middle physique out the water by end of summer.
