37, Works out at Versatile Action Fitness Crosstown
FAV WAY TO WORKOUT:
Bar set high, music loud, and doing every set and rep as if it’s my last.
BIGGEST FITNESS MYTH:
Lifting weights makes you big and bulky.
BIGGEST NUTRITION MYTH:
You don’t need all three macros to achieve a complete body transformation.
MY TYPICAL WORKOUT DAY:
I’m in phase two of my fitness transformation, so I’m doing a total-body HITT, EMOM, etc.
MY ADVICE:
Push past what is comfortable; get comfortable being uncomfortable; only then are you well on your way to reaching your goals.
MY FITNESS TIP:
If you don’t feel like it and you’re physically capable, do it anyway.
IF I COULD ONLY HAVE ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT:
Kettlebell
ALWAYS IN MY GYM BAG:
Protein shakes, protein chips, fitness books, and workout clothes
MY FITNESS IDOL:
I don’t have a fitness idol, but I respect Charles Glass, Luka Hocevar, Dr. Jim Stoppani, Bret Contreras, and Gareth Sapstead for their scientific approach to fitness.
DREAM WORKOUT PARTNER:
Arnold Schwarzenegger
MY GO-TO SNACK:
Premier Chocolate Protein Shake
MY DIET:
I keep a healthy balance of protein, carbs, and fats.
ONE FOOD I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT:
Sirloin Burger
WHAT KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED:
Discipline keeps me motivated.
SETBACKS:
I lost my mom on March 28, 2023. She was my heart and my best friend. It made me stronger and more resilient. My mindset is that if I can get through that, then anything is possible.
GOALS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD:
I want to make a difference in the community, transforming one person at a time, bringing fitness awareness to the community based on what really works, and helping Memphis get out of the Top 10 for obesity.
