TOP THREE TIPS FOR GAINING MUSCLE! • 1. Eat ENOUGH! Key word is enough... when I was first starting my only objective was to eat as much as I could when it came to nutrition, but if I could go back, I would drastically change this approach... calculate your daily caloric intake and from that calculate your macros according to your goals. Obviously for gaining muscle we want to stay in a slight caloric surplus. EAT ENOUGH, DONT OVEREAT. • 2. Your training protocol should incorporate some sort of progressive overload. This is through my personal experience for what’s brought me the most success and trust me THIS IS THE WAY!!!!!! If you need help better understanding exactly what this entails, drop a DM. • 3. Lastly, it really comes down to consistency. So this last one is kind of a two for one. I’m sure you’ve heard it before but trust me it’s said for a reason... consistency is key. It really wasn’t until I buckled down for a solid year before I saw some true results. I mean results that really catch your eye... so if you are headed down this road thinking and expecting immediate results, I would ask you to tweak your perspective. This is a journey and if you can’t learn to ENJOY THE PROCESS, then truthfully maybe this just isn’t for you... because that’s one of the beauty’s about fitness and health... this whole thing is a process that you are supposed to enjoy. Embrace your challenges and struggles with a long term vision Plan and I promise you will thank me later! • If you are struggling with your fitness endeavors feel free to shoot me a DM with any questions! I’m here to help YOU, yes YOU reading the caption right now!! 💨 —————————————————————————————————— .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #instafitness #fitnesscoach #motivation #bodybuilding #health #gymtips #getstrong #workout #fitnessvideo #fit #fitnessgoals #workoutmotivation #fitnessaddict #fitinspiration #fitnessfun #fitnesslife #fitnessguru #gymlife #gymjunkie #exercise #fitnesslifestyle #fitnesstraining #fitforlife #fitfam #fitnessjourney #fitnessmotivation #fitnessbody #crossfit #gym #workouttips (at San Ramon, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDXm9DHHNzb/?igshid=fk228zajxibh

TRANSFORMATION POST! • This was my post from yesterday morning guys, I changed up the narrative a little so let’s try this again! • I wanted to post this for you guys to show you the journey I’ve been on... first pic is of me in 2014 of high school, junior year... full time athlete, basketball 7 days a week, year round. Zero strength training only conditioning because that’s all our coaches knew at the time for basketball players... or maybe that was just the easiest thing to do, make your boys run. Second pic is me now 6 years later. BUT! • In these 6 years I have been all over the place with my training... it wasn’t until about two years ago until I fell back in love with training and truly started to understand THE PRECISION behind it. I learned HOW to execute and IMPLEMENT my training in the most effective ways. These last two years have been more than bliss in terms of my training. I truly feel like I have complete control over my training environment and nutrition and because of this, my results have been unparalleled as compared to my other 4 years of training. It’s really crazy what can happen once you apply some factual knowledge behind your actions in a gym. 🧬 • In my next post I will go over my top three tips that helped me, a skinny lad balloon up fast! However, these aren’t going to be your typical hard gainer tips that tell you to eat more and stuff your face. 😂 Hope this post can inspire just one person and I hope my post later can bring some more motivation for some of you guys out there! If you are just starting, DM ME RIGHT NOW FOR SOME GENUINE MOTIVATION!🔥 —————————————————————————————————— .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #fattofit #gym #myjourneytofit #instagood #gymlife #crossfit #igfitfam #doingitforme #losingweightplan #journeytohealth #love #workout #gettingthere #fitnessaddict #fit #weightlossjourney #fitnessmotivation #transformationtuesday #fitnesslife #instafitness #fitforlife #fatlossjourney #liftweights #bodybuilding #fitfam #fitinspiration #getstrong #motivation #121support #workoutmotivation (at San Ramon, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDT99oqH2-q/?igshid=1qshx7zxikv5l

CHEAT MEAL TODAY 🤪 • One of my go to cheat meals is either a big fatty burger with a ton of fries or a chipotle chicken bowl... I always get double the protein in either meal and I always get those extra carbs in as well because... well it’s my cheat meal and I worked for them 😉 I think they say “earn your carbs” or something like that... BUT INSIDER TIP: at chipotle don’t forget to ask for a tortilla or two on the side, ITS FREE!!! • And lastly of course you can’t forget the most important aspect of having a cheat meal or high carb meals... it’s a GDA supplement- Glucose Disposal Agent... if you aren’t familiar with this supplement then you are late to the game and that’s fine! Let me catch you up to speed with this supplement... GDA’s have been around for a few years now and have been taking a recent surge in the supplement industry due to its ability to help your body shuttle carbohydrates in a more proper fashion. @hd.muscle has developed their own GDA that does more than just this, this GDA helps shuttle carbohydrates AND nutrients as well, directly to your muscles rather than feeding those fat cells. You can expect these benefits by taking this product; better blood flow, pumps, and nitric oxide levels, insulin secretion aid, blood glucose levels will remain stable rather than spike, improved digestion and GI function, aids in balancing cholesterol levels, and not mention YOU FEEL AMAZING AFTER EATING A CHEAT MEAL. • This product has been a staple in my supplement stack ever since I partnered with HD and it truly has been a remarkable product that I will continue to use on my cheat meals and high carb meals! If you guys want to try it out for yourself you can follow the link in my bio and head to store and grab yours! • Use code KIRBY at checkout for a discount and to support me! ⚡️ —————————————————————————————————— #glycohdcheat #hdmuscle #cheatmeal #carbs #foodie #cheatday #fitlife #fitness #ratemyplate #instafood #fitlifestyle #nutrition #health #forkyeah #fitforlife💪 #cheatdayeats (at San Ramon, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDR-jDYnX1p/?igshid=1ecy7mj60nc84

High School 2014 ⏰ ➡️ 2020 • I wanted to share this with you guys to show you all a little more about my genetics and kind of what I was dealing with when I started my journey into fitness! • First, no I have not been training for six years... I have been in and out of fitness multiple times throughout those six years since high school! Being an athlete in high school 🏀 really drew away from any passions of pursuing weight lifting... the conditioning was insane... I remember there being no off season and literally having to stay in shape and condition year round... for high school ball, AAU, summer ball, etc. I never really knew how to gain weight at the time nor did I think it would be worth my time considering the amount of calories I was already burning on a daily basis... man I wish I had a different mindset and I wish coaches focused more on a strength and conditioning program while I was younger rather than just taking the easy route and telling your boys to run. • When I left for college, that was when I fell in love with weight lifting, I saw some serious newbie gains and was definitely putting on a freshman 15 lol I think I put on freshman 30... not in the best way but hey, it was a start. • Throughout those six years, life has been a rollercoaster and it’s been all about learning those lessons and bouncing back harder than before. I’m proud to say I’m 23 and have now been training consistently for a year and half now and the results I’ve seen have just been astonishing. If there is one thing I’ve truly fallen in love with, it’s being in control and tune with your body... • In my next post I will go over my top 3 top tips that helped me stack on some serious size BUT IN THE RIGHT WAYS! Essentially three things I wish I knew earlier because these are the three things THAT ACTUALLY WORK! For everyone. Stay tuned ya’ll and hope you guys are having an amazing week! 🥂 .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #fitforlife #fattofit #personaltrainer #trainerlife #fit #fitlife #sportsspecifictraining #workout #athlete #fitnesslife #trainingday #instafitness #fitnessaddict # #bodybuilding #motivation #workoutmotivation #journeytohealth #doingitforme #training #gymlife #weightlossjourney (at San Ramon, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDRpLh1nr2h/?igshid=ylkkzccukmcg

I’m putting these pictures out there for MYSELF, but as always, I want you guys to follow the journey too! I’ve come to the realization that gyms might not be opening anytime soon where I live here in Cali. We’ve been teased once and I wouldn’t be surprised if it continues... so instead of sitting here waiting for the gyms to come to me, I’m about to just go crazy ham with what I have and see what size we can really put on. I’ve had this energy inside of me waiting to fire once the gyms open back up, but candidly I’m tired of holding this fire back and waiting for something to happen. I’m about to go get what I want and like I said... these pictures are here for you to watch and observe the journey. For those who know my work ethic in the gym, I’m bringing that same energy and intensity times 10 to my own home gym and i know my results are about to be wicked. I know how my body can transform when I dedicate my heart and soul into this... and I’m about to go FULL SICKO MODE 💪🏼🔥💯 —————————————————————————————— .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #bodybuilding #readysetgo #motivation #neverstop #workout #photooftheday #trainhard #fitnessjourney #training #gainwithspikes #gaintrain #crossfit #newgoals #letsdothis #gains #seeya #personaltraining #gainwithnairobiwestniccur #fitnessmotivation #personaltrainer #ripped #gainwithmchina #fit #gym #athletictraining #workoutmotivation #nofilter #fitfam #nocap #gaintrick (at San Ramon, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDK4CWlHlUw/?igshid=pml4xnss4qun

FOUND THIS IN THE VAULT! DATED NOVEMBER 9, 2019! • For those wondering this marked my one year transformation. I had put on a total of 50 pounds of total body weight... of course some of that was fat... and of course some of that was my muscle memory gains. But I still managed to put on a solid 30-40 pounds of muscle on my body. Which in my book is pretty remarkable thing to do in just under a year. It’s truly crazy what the human body is capable of. • And for those thinking it, I’ll answer it for you, no I have never used any PED’s a long my journey... just lots of clean supplements to aid the body where it lacks from nutrition. I mean seriously who’s can eat 20 steaks to get your creatine levels in for the day?! Not me lol. If you don’t know my story then feel free to checkout my page and learn where I really started. • LASTLY! It’s pictures like these that just simply motivate me. I remember hitting deadlifts, every and any row, millions of pull downs and pull ups, face pulls, and lots of rear felt work... I was so committed to getting that V-Taper physique! My main goal in the gym and still will be once I head back is the put some slabs of mass on my back... it’s always been a weak point of mine and genetically always might... but who doesn’t love to defy genetics sometimes am I right? 🤪💪🏼 —————————————————————————————————— .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #workout #bepositive #fitnessguru #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #workouts #homefitness #beyou #fitnessstyle #positivevibes #behappywithyourself #fit #gymaddict #instafitness #fitlifestyle #motivation #love #beyourself #thinkpositive #fitfam #fitinspiration #begood #igfit #fitnessmodel #noexcuses #positivemind #fitnesstime #gymflow #liveyourlife #gym (at San Ramon, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC83p0bHQgX/?igshid=yrbeax5n14kq

WHATS IN YOUR PRE? • I ask this question because so many people now a days have no idea what they are even putting inside their bodies... • Tell me if this has ever been you... “Man my preworkout I’m using right now just isn’t hitting hard enough... my tolerance is too high, I need something stronger.” So what do you do? You carelessly scroll through the internet buying the most main brand, name popping, caffeine toxic, stimulant high, preworkout you can find. Only to be feeling THE EXACT same way days later. ITS ALL IN THE INGREDIENTS MY FRIENDS • With @hd.muscle products, you are being assured the highest quality grade ingredients to help support you as an athlete! I just recently added PREHD Black Cherry Smash 🍒 into my preworkout routine, usually only taking a full scoop on leg day because it’s really that insanely great of a product. • So next time you are searching for that HIGH STIM ⚡️ CRAZY MENTAL ACUITY... look no further, your messiah is here. —————————————— .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #nutrition #protein #healthly #fitnessmotivation #firness #arginine #vitamins #supplement #cleaneating #multivitamins #bodybuilding #vitaminshoppe #fit #personaltrainer #crossfit #cardio #instahealthy #vitaminsupplements #supplementsthatwork #health #hiitworkout #supplementation #gym #healthfood #motivation #aminoacids #fitnessmodel #workout #healthydiet #healthyeating (at San Ramon, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCttFkpnFng/?igshid=ygij2kp4u7za

UPDATE! • Hey fam! Just wanted to give you guys a little look into my life at the moment and fill you on everything that’s been going on in my world! 🌍 • So the main reason why I haven’t been posting is because as many of you know, where I live, gyms have yet to be opened back up. In fact, gyms were set to be open back up on July 1st! So naturally, me being the fitness enthusiast and trainer that I am, you could imagine the relief I was beginning to experience knowing July 1st was the date. All this build up and preparation was in effect on my end and BOOM! July 1st came and our county was issued a pushback for many of the planned business to reopen, including the gyms. 🤯 • It’s been a huge fat bummer, it really has. But instead of dwelling on it and focusing my energy on something I can’t control, I decided to pivot, AGAIN! Just like we all have learned to do once before through this shutdown. • However I think it’s important I talk a little bit more about my mental state of mind when I initially heard the news... I went straight borderline depressed. It was so saddening to hear for me partly because I think I had been masking so many emotions about missing the gyms, telling myself I didn’t miss them and just lying to myself. So when I got that taste of gyms again in my mouth, I got so pumped... Only to feel like this was the biggest let down of my entire life. The next day I was able to put things in perspective and start to plan and visualize things I thought I should do. • So.. that’s when I decided to take a brief pause from social media and instead begin to devote extensive amounts of time into educating myself to better my life and the life’s of the people around me; working on my craft, my foundation, educating myself on how I can do my part, setting goals, visualizing, conceptualizing, reflecting, and getting the sh!t that needs to get done, done! • The point behind all this is that the work will never go away. That’s the beauty of it in my opinion. There is always wood to be chopped somewhere or another in some form of aspect in your life. When life knocks you down or throws you off your rocker, breathe, plan, visualize, and adapt! (at San Ramon, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjhwm8Ht2I/?igshid=wyfn0b6h3zwz
