Took some time off of posting to work through somethings in life and grow. Sometimes you have to take a step back to look at the bigger picture. I love these people and I’m going to miss them dearly when they take off! #love #loveyourself #fam #family #best #friends #adventure #grow #growth #bebetter https://www.instagram.com/p/B1PFwH4F3SH/?igshid=o4dw42p4rvn8

Amazing leg day today. This is a nice 535lbs/243kg on a hex-bar. It was an easy pull which I’m excited about! This @pioneer_fit belt is awesome!

Jazzed about this 500lbs/226kg straight leg deadlift. It was an easy clean lift. Caught me signature smile after the lift and I think I scared the girl benching though 😅 (at Cornell University) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpnm0PcjKkA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c0j4jpgdt5vj

I hit a new PR!!! I’m so pumped about it! 525lbs/238kg from the floor. I’ve learned a lot from watching my form. It’s a bit ugly but I noticed that I rocked forward into my toes instead of staying planted in my feet. Which means I’m also not keeping my spine in alignment and letting the weight get too far in away from me. This information is crucial to developing my form and progressing in weight. My next goal is to keep my strength up and lower my body fat. I have to beat obesity 😂 (BMI joke) (at Cornell University) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo_tPFPnOyQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wvy6t2clszaf

Utterly crushed my legs yesterday and this is the most I’ve been sore in a while. Video is 500x3 for hip thrusters. This is the 6th set of hip thrusters as well so it was starting to get ugly. —— Here was the work out from yesterday: 1️⃣Squats 7 sets: 10, 10, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2 2️⃣Hip thrusters 6 sets: 10, 10, 10, 10, 3, 3 3️⃣leg curls 5 sets of 10 4️⃣leg extensions 5 sets of 10 5️⃣single leg calf raises 5 sets of 5 (each leg) (at Cornell University) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo7zqlZnSh-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ayf5k7mjnsns

I had a bad day yesterday so my lift was great. 505lbs/229kg from the ground and it came up real easy. I’m excited about this progress. This @pioneer_fit belt is awesome! (at Cornell University) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo1hE7fHtK4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=96h23jfgjgf5

I just said I wanted to feel it 😂 I forgot my knee sleeves but still got 475lbs (215 kg) not as low as I wanted, I like breaking 90, but I did much better with keeping my hips under the bar. My goal is 500 by the end of the year. —— The workout from tonight: 1. Squats: 10, 8, 5-6, 1, 1 2. Hip thrusters: 10, 10, 10, 10 3. Superset: Leg extensions: 10, 10, 10, 10, 10 Calf raises: 15, 15, 15, 15, 15 It was quick but painful 😅😰 (at Cornell University) https://www.instagram.com/p/BosYo1wHGgW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lubz1yy1pkxj

As the fog rolled in over the hill at my sisters house, my parents renewed their vows after being married for 35 years. It was a pretty serene setting. There aren’t many things in life that are certain, but if you find some one who wants to certainly stay with you that’s pretty special. It was a nice ceremony and a great time with family. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bop_qqEnoLm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hqbpbc5u9rbo

We went on an adventure at Lime Hollow today to see if my Eagle Scout project was still there 12 years later. We had a great hike with great friends and found it! We also had to document the cardio 😂 (at Lime Hollow Center for Environment & Culture) https://www.instagram.com/p/BonNGrHHh49/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xuof7pkxlxj4

When ever we’re visiting friends in Rochester we have to go to Han Noodle Bar because it’s incredible authentic Chinese food. —— I was called obese on Friday. It struck me weird because I know I’m not. The doctor took my weight and height and calculated my BMI then told me that my since my BMI was so high that I’m obese. BMI is so flawed. Being a physicist I looked into the calculations to get a BMI and it’s just trying to standardize everyone without taking into consideration how different we are as people. I love this comment on the BMI wiki page: The mathematician Prof Nick Trefethen, who observed this said, “BMI divides the weight by too large a number for short people and too small a number for tall people. So short people are misled into thinking that they are thinner than they are, and tall people are misled into thinking they are fatter.” —— Granted my goal right now is to lose more body fat and I will accomplish that, but we need to take a better look at how we’re evaluating our health. If I didn’t have the knowledge I have I would’ve been mislead into believing something I’m not.

I’m pumped to get a set of 405 for 4. I’m progressing nicely to make this weight a working set. The last rep my hips got out from under me though so I’m going to lower the weight and work on form and flexibility.
