VBUILT-FITNESS is a Veteran owned and operated business,where I help people reach their fitness goals
Goal is: 400+ dead lift 300+ bench and 300+ squat 200+ press and 300+ Row π―
So Far I'm at: 350 deaf lift 245 bench 315 squat 155 press and 225 Row.
So close yet so far!
2023 August vs 2024 August. I was alot leaner 2023 I think I was about 181ish 179ish today I'm at 192-194 ish. I'm definitely liking my current strength and muscle definition( been working alot on my posterior chain especially rear delts, traps and hamstrings)
I'm going to continue this bulk and workout plan for another 8 weeks to see how it goes.
Things I've changed was :
keeping workouts alot simpler ( no point in hitting 20 + different chest excersises and sacrificing quality for quality) 12 sets max a week per muscle group 1 set going to failure
Nutrition focusing on carbs and protien, fueling up before I workout rather than fasted seems to be working better for me now a days
Rest: been doing 6 days a week workout but 3 days are heavy compound lifts and 3 days light accessory work and sleeping 7 hours minimum.
Cardio is just time based and changes so I have to do 120 min a week and at least 2 different types ie run or bike.
Cowabunga it is!!!
Through pain comes strength.
July's group class week 1 ποΈββοΈ ποΈββοΈ
(For anyone needing a routine or looking for something new)
β‘οΈ Classes are designed for beginners to intermediate lifters. You can increase the intensity by limiting your breaks or break time during the circuts or increasing the weights each round!
Focus on form! And if feels wrong, painful, awkward or the muscle you are supposed to be targeting you do not feel working βοΈ STOP π.
Also never be afraid to ask for help, I'm π― sure that most people in the Gym will help you if you have a question.
Happy 4th of July!
Got to lift to stay strong for our independence!
Did you workout today?? π€
πΊπΈ πͺ
Yup, nutrition is not that complicated.
Also anyone trying to sell you π, powder, fad diet or exercise just want your money.

π π± π§ Eat as much whole food single ingredients foods

IYKYK π π π
"Public figure " π then brags about engagement π if they only knew how much of that was bots and fake.
I personally only want real engagment even if it's the same 2-3 people! Imagine taking 3 selfies out of the 100 to post on social media. I bet your workout suffered.
Glad I can disconnect and spend my workout time on ME!!
Man everytime this comes up in my memories, I remember how far I've come and how resilient the human body is.
This picture was a few days after my 2nd Hip surgery ( one on each side) in Army. You could barley see it but my right Hip down by knee was in brace. π€
It was a very Dark time for me both mentally and physically. I can't even express to you how I felt, or how i wanted to quit at everything at that point.. as a injured/broke infantryman is pretty much usless in the Army πͺ.
It took alot but I've come a loooong way and I'm still not satisfied or giving up on my goals!
I'll just say this from personal experience:
DO NOT QUIT!! Even if life is not going your way, your body is in shambles and you feel alone, keep pushing forward! AND I promise you the results will come and you'll be amazed of what you can do!!!! π₯
So today is my lower body day and I'm going to go heavy on Deadlifts! ποΈββοΈ
Here's a pretty cool chart, that gives you guideline for your goals based on weight or age!!
Always set goals, reach them, crush them and set more! π
Don't be that guy who gets no results, sets no goals, looks exactly the same and boast about fitness but knows nothing π!
If you need help or guidance look to a certified trainer!

π₯ Beginner tips π₯
Whatever your main goal is during a current training phase, should be front loaded in your workout plan!
As that's when you'll have the most ATP and glucose readily and ready to go in your body.
Focus on some kind of progressive overload and even if you feel like you can make a big jump the following week DONT! your joints and tendons will thank you!
Slow steady progress = healthy, safe and sustainable resutls. Remeber most of us (me included) are recreational lifters, we want to lift for health, strength and to look better naked! π nothing is worse than getting injured π€ and starting over again...
Example:
This phase I'm working on increasing bench, deadlift and row (weight wise) today I benched 225 for 5, next week I'll go for 230 for 3 to 5. If I only make 3 the following week I'll try for 5 the next and keep repeating this untill my goal is reached.
Even though the 225 felt okay for 5 and I personally feel that i could do 255 for 2 to 3 I know my joints and tendons will thank me later!
Little 2.5 mile πββοΈ πββοΈ
Fitness can also be family bonding π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦
Side note: running with the stroller harder than running with a weighted vest! You forget how much harder it is to run when your arms aren't swinging π
Summer Is pretty much here. If your at a beach and Chuck Norris roles up life is good π

This is my youngest boy, but this is exactly how I felt after dead lifts today. π ποΈββοΈ
Ended the lower body workout with Deadlifts
3 x 5 at 380Lbs.... (note to self: lets front load them in the plan next time lol)
The world is full of talented people, full of educated people, full of smart people. But at the end its the individuals who are more hungry, who want it more who surpass them! And win!!
Max your genetics limits first!
And even after that avoid or exercise extreme caution β οΈ before taking gear !!!
Fitness is simple, but in a world full of "influncers" trying to up each other constantly, ridiculous workouts and shilling supplements down your throats, I understand how and why most people quit or feel overwhelmed. ποΈ π
Call me the Anti influncer or just a trainer whos GOAL is to make fitness compliment your lifestyle not complicate. I'm here to give you advice I use for my clients and myself, not for clout or to sell you some "miracle" pill or fad lifestyle. π€
With that being said designing your program does not have to be that complicated. Don't be that person who just shows up a the gym with no plan, no progressive overload and no tracking. (Those guys never get results and look the same).
π₯ Step 1 front load the exercise your trying to improve on first, on your list of exercises (pro tip try to make it a compound lifts with either dumbbells, barbells or machines.) Use the limited energy in your body on the BIG muscle group first!
π₯ Step 2 keep it simple choose about 2 - 3 exercises per muscle group and CONTINUE to use them throughout your 6 to 12 week plan
π₯ Step 3 every week do some kind of progressive overload on each excersise by either adding weight(slowly increase do not rush it) or adding reps ( again) just 2 to 3, or time under tension.
π₯ Step 4 track and record everything for the duration of your plan. Keep things that worked change things that didn't.
π₯ Step 5 Start small 30 to 45 min, lifting weights 3 times a week more than enough for most individuals.
Here is my example plan"
May13 - Jun 17th (6 weeks) split: Chest, shoulders and Triceps.
( Goal 1: focus on shoulders Goal 2: body fat loss)
Warmup:
Walk 3 min treadmill
Pvc pipe Around the world's. 3sets Γ 8 reps
Pvc pipe pass through. 3sets x 8 reps
Block 1: Chest/shoulder/tri
Arnold press. 4 sets Γ 8 reps
Barbell bench press. 3 sets x 8 reps
Dips (bodyweight) 3 sets Γ 5 - 8 reps
Chest fly machine. 3 sets x 8 reps
Dumbbell rear delt Flys. 3 sets x 8 reps
Block 2: core
Leg lifts. 3 sets x 8 reps
β‘οΈ I will use this format for all my Chest/shoulder/tri days for the next 6 weeks. My goal every week is to go up in reps by 2 then once I reach 12 go up in weight and start back at 8.
And that's it you got a good anterior upper body plan for 6 weeks!!! Only takes 5 mins to create!
Now what are your waiting for?! Go on and get started!!
My son's 9th birthday today !!!
Ninjago and Nachos!!!!
It's okay to eat some of your favorite food in moderation!
My nutrition tip for this week is Whole foods, or foods with least amount of ingredients will help you get closer to your goal! And introduce them slowly to your meal plan!
Make small changes for sustainable fat loss
( key word) always go for fat loss not weight loss!!
Forget hot girl summer, this right here are my GOALS π π
Crazy how I see people complain about getting NO results, yet spend BIG π° π° π° on some "miracle" supplement,pill,cream,etc.(that have little to no effect on their weight loss) a month. But won't spend money on a certified trainer...
Crazy, hows that one Albert Einstein quote about Insanity go again? π€
100%
I get you can't control all external factors. However if you find yourself always saying life is too hard, too toxic, too tough and do nothing about it. It's partly your fault.
Take some accountability and take action!
