A sculptor doesn't make a sculpture with one tap of a chisel A film maker uses multiple angles, frames and lighting to tell a story A painter doesn't create their masterpiece with a single brush stroke In other words it takes a lot of patience, time and small movements to build something great. ------------------------------------- "One of the strangest things is the act of creation. You are faced with a blank slate—a page, a canvas, a block of stone or wood, a silent musical instrument. You then look inside yourself. You pull and tug and squeeze and fish around for slippery raw shapeless things that swim like fish made of cloud vapor and fill you with living clamor. You latch onto something. And you bring it forth out of your head like Zeus giving birth to Athena. And as it comes out, it takes shape and tangible form." ------------------------------------- #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #ANBF #ocbpro #ocbbodybuilding #corenutritionals #crushit #crushitambassador #pushday #gym #workout #fit #fitness #fitfam #igfitness #igfit #instafit #instafitness #itsnotadadboditsafatherfigure #hardwork #motivation (at Barnegat, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFQiLgcD_LH/?igshid=1kmwo65xh22tz

"The measure of a man comes down to moments, spread out like dots of pain on the canvas on life. Everything you were, everything you'll someday be, resides in the small, seemingly ordinary choices of everyday life.....Each decision seems as insignificant as a left turn on an unfamiliar road when you have no destination in mind. But the decisions accumulate until you realize one day that they've made you the man that you are." -------------------------------------------- #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #fit #fitness #fitfam #igfitness #igfit #instafit #instafitness #ocbpro #ocbbodybuilding #ANBF #corenutritionals #crushit #crushitambassador #backday #motivation #transformationtuesday #gym #workout (at Barnegat, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFLTFGMjX5I/?igshid=1rl09jqxt8g0z

"I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you." ----------------------------------------- #motivation #motivationalquotes #fit #fitness #fitfam #igfitness #igfit #instafit #instafitness #gym #workout #pushday #chestday #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #crushit #corenutritionals #crushitambassador #ocbpro #ocbbodybuilding #ANBF #itsnotadadboditsafatherfigure (at Barnegat, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE2usHtjJlU/?igshid=1u9xvxalbw0yf

I'm not worrying about how much weight I'm moving rather how well I'm moving the weight I'm not concerned with how much volume rather I'm focusing on the efficacy of the volume I've realized I don't need that much variety and the basics work just fine. I take the ego out. I don't compare myself to others as to not rob myself of the success of my own progress. When bad things happen, I only focus on getting through it and becoming stronger than I was before --------------------------------------------------------- “Nothing in the world can replace perseverance. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost legendary. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Perseverance and determination alone are omnipotent.” --------------------------------------------------------- #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #corenutritionals #CrushingQuarantine #crushit #fit #fitness #fitfam #igfit #instafit #instafitness #itsnotadadboditsafatherfigure #gym #workout #hardwork #biceptear #tornbicep #ANBF #ocbpro #ocbbodybuilding (at Barnegat, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEA4oS5DtmB/?igshid=1q37a0eltzyvm

So yesterday on my IG story I mentioned how I wasn't feeling it. How waiting for motivation or the right time never works but discipline is what makes it all happen. -------------------------------------- When people hear that they say well I'm not trying to look like you. That's fine. I don't expect everyone should be like me. -------------------------------------- But achieving your goal still requires discipline. That means no matter how tired, how stressed, or you just don't feel like it.. DO IT ANYWAY! -------------------------------------- Banded hip warm-up Deadlift: 405x10,8 Squat: 300x5,3,3,3,2 Leg press: 14 plates total: 10 16 plates total: 8,8 10 plates total: 50 Bodyweight Bulgarian split squat: 30 each leg 20 each leg -------------------------------------- #corenutritionals #CrushingQuarantine #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #gym #workout #legday #ocbpro #ocbbodybuilding #ANBF #itsnotadadboditsafatherfigure #motivation #discipline #igfitness #igfit #instafit #instafitness (at Barnegat, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD88d8fjTVc/?igshid=zstd20mi4qi

Random people in gym giving advice: - Carbs are bad - Keto is the only way to lose weight - Fat is bad - Sugar is bad even if it's from fruit - Salt is bad - High protein destroys your kidneys - Fish thins the skin - Fasted cardio is better for fat loss - CrossFit is better for hypertrophy - Lifting weights make women bulky - Carbs past 6pm makes you gain fat - High reps makes you shredded - You have to cut water going into a show - If you train a body part more than once a week you're overtraining - You have to cycle your protein powder - This pre-work really helps you make gains - Can't get fat if you eat clean Me: Sorry Bub! None of that is true In today's day and age it still amazes me how things that have been proven wrong and debunked so many times and yet people still hang on to the lie and magical solution method. ------------------------------------- #corenutritionals #CrushingQuarantine #crushit #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #gym #workout #fit #fitness #fitfam #igfitness #igfit #instafit #instafitness #ocbpro #ocbbodybuilding #ANBF #wolverine #marvel #npc #ifbb #nutrition #weightloss #fatloss (at Barnegat, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD35LpAjuZU/?igshid=1q1slvme4312v

Developing my legs has always been a struggle. Due to injuries, I had mobility issues I needed to work on, weaknesses to make up for and inflammation that comes and goes. ----------------------------------------- Today was one of those days where my knees didn't feel great. So started with some banded body weight warm-ups and other exercises before ever going to squat. Must say felt good all the way through. ----------------------------------------- Banded Bodyweight squat warm-up Single quad ext/single Seated hamstring curl: 20/20, 20/20, 20/15 Banded quad ext: 20,15,15,15 Squat 185lbs/Leg press (8 plates total): 10/20, 10/20, 10/20, 8/20 Calf raises on leg press ----------------------------------------- #corenutritionals #CrushingQuarantine #crushit #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #fit #fitness #fitfam #igfitness #igfit #instafit #instafitness #gym #workout #motivation #ocbpro #ocbbodybuilding #ANBF #itsnotadadboditsafatherfigure #legday #squat (at Barnegat, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDxFntNDLNm/?igshid=j1nsjuts52fz

"The first step toward creating an improved future is developing the ability to envision it.

Another old drawing from when I was as kid. Got this from the cover of the WildStar comic. #superhero #drawing #art #imagecomics #wildstar #flashbackfriday #flashback #fbf https://www.instagram.com/p/CDTzL93jXIF/?igshid=m5zv62ig295z

I really like this movement as either part of a super set or as a finisher. I've used a DB squeeze press but it doesn't feel the same as this. ---------------------------------------- I think by using the bumper plate it increases the distance between my hands and gives me a better grip. ---------------------------------------- Squeeze the plate while moving through the concentric and eccentric. So your chest is literally engaged the entire time with no break. You can see the shakiness of the plate as I'm moving it. ---------------------------------------- #corenutritionals #CrushingQuarantine #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #ocbpro #ocbbodybuilding #ANBF #fit #fitness #fitfam #igfit #igfitness #instafit #instafitness #gym #workout #itsnotadadboditsafatherfigure (at Barnegat, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDR6VjaDwYu/?igshid=7g1lxnhzj1sh

Rack pulls are a nice change of pace from deadlifts. Though it is a shorter ROM they do help to focus more on the upper back and traps. ------------------------------------------ I keep my grip a little wider than shoulder width and the bar position starting just below my knees. I also retract my scapula up and back at the top of the motion. ------------------------------------------ #corenutritionals #CrushingQuarantine #backday #backworkout #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #ocbpro #ocbbodybuilding #ANBF #fit #fitness #fitfam #igfitness #igfit #instafit #instafitness #gym #workout #itsnotadadboditsafatherfigure (at Barnegat, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDMzOVmjTeM/?igshid=jqu4szdowewe

Haven't been doing much barbell work but must say this felt relatively smooth. Though I do get great chest activation when I flat bench, I find I get better chest development from incline and decline presses along with fly variations. So I haven't been doing flat as much but still love the movement. ------------------------------------- Flat Bench: 255x6,6,6,6 225x15 DB incline bench: 90sx10,10,10,6 DB incline bench 40°: 80sx7,7,7 50sx15 DB military press: 75sx6,5 50sx12 Lateral raises: 20,15,15,12 drop 20 ------------------------------------- #corenutritionals #CrushingQuarantine #crushit #chestday #pushday #gym #workout #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #fit #fitness #fitfam #igfitness #igfit #instafit #instafitness #ocbpro #ocbbodybuilding #ANBF (at Barnegat, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDKKZV7jFQH/?igshid=1592hzijs9tub

This is a flashback to when I have been stronger. Through a couple of decades of training I have learned so much. ------------------------------------- I have learned the importance & benefits of training in different modalities, with intensity, with purpose, with structure, & addressing weaknesses. ------------------------------------- Training using DUP served me well. I got really good at the big 3 which help me put on more size & learn how to use progressive overload. ------------------------------------- It also taught me that the human body can adapt very quickly & the fear of overtraining is just that a fear not a reality. ------------------------------------- Though I no longer train using this methodology it served me well to understand that in order to be good at being a bodybuilder I need to focus on the modality in which I wish to improve as well as recovery. That means more hypertrophy training & allowing for enough rest. ------------------------------------- Here's to you 455lb squat. Thanks for letting me know how far I can go when I focus. ------------------------------------- #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #gym #workout #squat #ocbpro #ocbbodybuilding #ANBF #fit #fitness #fitfam #igfitness #igfit #instafit #instafitness (at Pure Focus Sports Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDFic__Dkdq/?igshid=1q458kutk8mfj

Today was a day where getting out of bed was hard. Thankfully my son is spending a weekend with his grandparents... Haha. --------------------------------------- Went to a brunch with some friends but still wasn't sure if I was going to train today but in the end gave it a go. Wasn't overly intense but it was effective and got the blood flowing. --------------------------------------- This is only the 3rd time I've trained this week. To be honest the break felt good. --------------------------------------- "Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.  Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us." --------------------------------------- #corenutritionals #CrushingQuarantine #legday #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #gym #workout #fit #fitness #fitfam #igfitness #igfit #instafit #instafitness #ANBF #ocbpro #ocbbodybuilding #itsnotadadboditsafatherfigure (at Barnegat, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCy-V67jd_q/?igshid=1bx2ol7xqwq0p
