Staying fit and healthy is an important part of both work and play, and apps have become vital tools to help me stay on track. My apps of choice are Apple Music and Audible for audiobooks, Trainerize so I can provide online personal training to my clients and follow up with them in-person, Apple Podcasts to hear tips from the experts, Interval Timer for workouts with exercise intervals, Insight Timer for guided meditations, Fat Secret for macronutrient tracking, and the Kindle Scribe which helps me review ebooks professionally. With these apps in my arsenal, I’m able to stay motivated during work and also enjoy plenty of activities during training time.

In today's podcast I go over a training technique that I use for general fitness folks, but also for powerlifters and strength and conditioning athletes called RIR and RPE. Repetitions in Reserve (RIR) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) are educational tools for determining the intensity of an exercise. RIR is the number of repetitions you can do before reaching muscular failure, while RPE is a measure of how hard those repetitions feel. Those who use these tools effectively can gain insight into their bodies' limits and carefully track progression. Understanding RIR and RPE is key to achieving desired results while avoiding overexertion and safely pushing forward with an exercise program. Qestions?

In this week's episode, I go over my (very) short list of supplements. Many people are surprised that this list isn't jampacked with supplements. I only have a few, and those are used for a purpose for either muscle building, overall vitality, health, and wellness. I cover my bases as an athlete with supplements but looks to food for further health and wellness. Here are my favorite companies: Optimum Nutrition, Solgar, Smarter Nutrition, and One A Day.

Sitting on my deck and thought about these ideas. Sorry if the audio is a bit janky! Contest prep for my first classic physique show is special not only because it’s my first time in this division, but also because it’s my last show. I’ve been lifting weights for about 30 years now and I’ve competed in many bodybuilding shows prior to this one. After a lot of thought and reflection, I’ve decided that this will be my last contest prep. It’s been an amazing journey and I’ve learned so much about myself and my body, but I think it’s time to move on to other things. I’m really grateful for all the support and encouragement I’ve received from family and friends during this process. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been worth it. I want to give a big shoutout to my coach Joe Franco, who has believed in me from the start and has helped me every step of the way. And of course, thank you to all of you for following along on this journey with me!
