B.S. Kinesiology from the University of North Texas, Certified Personal Trainer, Group Exercise and Boot Camp Instructor, Speaker, and NPC Competitive bodybuilder My passion for fitness and helping others started with one quote; ‘If you could squeeze all the benefits of exercising into a single pill, it would be the most prescribed medicine in the world’. My journey started as a 150 lb cross country runner ten years ago. I am now a 255 lb bodybuilder with the knowledge, motivation, and know how to help my clients achieve any feat in the gym and the kitchen. I have worked with well over a 1,000 clients of all different fitness backgrounds and will never turn down someone who wants to improve their life, longevity, and looks! As a student at UNT, I was taught by some of the most notable professors in the fitness and exercise community while running the morning boot camps, training clients, and giving wellness seminars at the UNT Pohl Recreation Center. There are few things as rewarding as watching my clients obtain what they once thought was impossible.

However, we don’t live in a perfect world and many of us are left to go at the weights solo. If that is the case and you are looking to really shock your body and inflict some serious muscle hypertrophy, incorporate rest-pause sets into your routine.
Bodybuilders, like many gym goers, are constantly seeking out new ways to improve their routines, shock new muscle growth, and push themselves to the extreme day in and day out. However, in every gym in every city, guys are ignoring a huge opportunity to shock their muscles like never before. While methods like negatives and forced reps have been used for years, bodybuilders tend to focus more on simple drop sets or negatives without a partner to assist. The following will explain why it is vital to incorporate more forced reps and negatives into your routine and see an immediate increase in muscle growth!
