A little about me, my role at @teamevilgsp, my background, and how long I’ve been working with the team. Taken during the team trip at the Olympia Broderick has truly made a unique group of individuals with an incredibly diverse set of backgrounds, knowledge bases, and each with a love for what they do. @teamevilgsp is truly a great example of a diverse think tank and we love what we do (except @richardfoster1988, he’s mainly there for comedic relief and pretending to be an American 😂) And a big thank you to @thesupplementreview for the edit! And making sure we got all those instances of me doing that weird shit with my hands where I look like I’m trying to cast a spell over and over 😂

The NAUTILUS DUO SQUAT. Arguably the best piece of leg equipment ever produced. If you haven’t ever used one, you are really missing out because damn it’s fucking good. From the amazing @lcmfitness_nj, an absolute fucking gem of a facility. Two sets (obviously sped up). Full stack for 20 and an ascending set with 3 stops. Part of a phenomenal leg session during the training seminar with @charlton_banks helping his clients become better lifters! Nothing beats a good leg session. Full session included 1. Strive leg extension- 6 plates for 12 and 6/4 drop set 2. Duo squat- shown above 3. Nautilus leg curl- 2x4x3 cluster sets with 4 second negatives 4. Body Masters calf raise- full stack 3x15

Just some training footage from my session with @charlton_banks at the incredible @lcmfitness_nj. Always so fantastic training together and the facility is insane. First is the Body Masters row which has a strong claim to being the best row ever made. 5plates and some change just because I had to edge out Charly to be a dick. Second is the Nautilus bicep curl. Easily the smoothest bicep piece I’ve ever used and at over 50 years old and fuck is it heavy. They just don’t make it like this anymore. And how about that color scheme. Hell yes. Bridge is going really well with weight sitting at 269 but with some drops expected, strength staying very high.

We visited our athletes out at @flexgymva to check in on their prep for the Rumble 2 from @powerlifting_series . Needless to say they’re all ready to put up some serious totals and bring the noise on October 11 in San Diego. Myself, my atheltes, and @strom_sports_nutrition_us as a whole are pumped to see you all in a few weeks and carry the Strom banner high! Find the best supplements at Stromsportsus.com or the Strom site for your area! Never settle!

Some thoughts on risk profiles in sports and whether you understand what it might cost you in the long run. From our wonderful time in London back in March with @teamevilgsp It’s important to keep in perspective and have this conversation with yourself. This is different based on every persons goals and background and it should be yours, not someone else’s.

I really need more tattoos. These plain forearms are no fun at all. From the mirror box at @jujimufu compound, an awesome idea of @davidherrera1119. About 40 degrees outside that day and a beautiful 80 inside the box. A lovely way to warm up and cool down for each workout. Hey @tkotattoos how about the chest homie? Almost 20 years down and it’s still holding up fucking solid along with everything else. @karrissastitttattoos legs and the pits still as solid as ever! Though I know you really miss the endless hours of black ink 😂 #moretattoos

We were joined by Landri Peden’s tricep (and potentially the rest of @landri_liftsalot, yet unclear) along with strongwoman @ceinwenchavez for an awesome kitchen conversation in Virginia Beach where we spoke about the importance of preparation leading up to prep and during the last two weeks before a comp. Such a fantastic conversation and lots of great information from those of us who have been there and done it and are doing it right now at a very high level. And yea yea yea we get it, not a professional studio, no $1,000 microphones, not ideal lighting, blah blah blah, get fucked. This ain’t no party this ain’t no disco, just good information. Listen and learn important information or don’t.

What are @thevoodooviking_zeus and I discussing? Wrong answers…strongly encouraged.

The shirt says it all, Never Settle. Love working out at the home gym, no distractions, no other people, just loud music and go time (and two bulldogs as lifting partners). Fueled by @strom_sports_nutrition_us @strom_sports_nutrition supplements it always makes for a great part of my day no matter how shit the rest is. Love being able to have a private space to lift. In a time where gyms are becoming more and more shit, with rare exception, it’s a perfect oasis.

Something often overlooked but so crucial is mobility and stability. What exactly do you need to complete your sport, how much is too much of the wrong thing? How do you get better at the right thing and what to prioritize? Sure you can find examples if you look far and wide but those outliers are not relevant unless you are one of them! It’s something crucial to remember as you continue down your athletic path and remember that if you ply multiple sports or opposite ends of the spectrum it will harder and harder to excel at both over time.
