When I first started lifting weights I struggled to... hit 135 on squats for 10 reps. Yes, I was that much of a chicken shit. I weighed 205 and I was pretty lean because I had been riding the exercise bike for 2-1/2 hours a day 5 days a week and doing keto for like a year prior to that. Now, after 2 years of dedicated training 4 days a week, I can now squat 540. That’s an official number at a meet. So thing is…fitness is a journey. My goal is to be squatting 600 by November. We will see. Getting there is half the fun! Enjoy the process!show more

I mean you do have a very good point,... however I hope you can understand where I come from. (Sorry I’m advance for the long tweet back) This is exactly what I use to do when I was their age. We didn’t have the luxury of an independent scene we do now and even if we did I was 14 years old, I was only allowed to go to a training school to learn the basics. But I had an enormous passion for the business & if I wasn’t allowed to work shows I’d do it myself. - and I’d argue that because of this I had a head start on a lot of the people I trained with when I finally turned 18 From there I’ve been lucky enough to have the support of friends, peers & fans to push me into what I am today. The fact I’ve still had that same style for now 17 years and this is my first surgery, I think I’ve looked after my body. Think about it 17 years this is my first major injury. You think this is stupid, I would say it’s equally as stupid as to fall off a scaffolding breaking both your legs. And while I’m sure there’s a few people that wished you landed on your head, I for one hope you’re doing well & not in too much pain from your injury. But to me, it showed the care that you have for the industry at that time. I see myself in these guys that are finding any outlet to do what they love. Their bumps are solid & basing is great. Like I said I understand there is a level of danger doing this so I hope none of them get hurt but I can’t help but root for these guys and hope I one day see them in a ring. Once again sorry for the long arse tweet and hope the message finds you well boss.show more

The past year has seen me have a renaissance,... in the truest sense… I won’t go into details now but will at some point before long. What has brought so much happiness to my life and those around me this past year has been my falling back in love with sport. Cycling has, and always will be, my number one. Yet I’d forgotten that I simply love sport, not for results but for the sheer joy of doing it, I’d completely forgotten that the health of my mind is intrinsically connected to the health of my body. I’ve rediscovered the love I had for sport that existed before the world of professional cycling took over in the way it did. I’ve been pushing myself and trying new things this past year, indifferent to the results, just out having fun and at times going deeper than I thought I was capable of anymore. Last week I got on a TT bike for the first time in a decade, Factor Bikes built me a bike, I’ve been looking at it for two years and decided it was time to get fitted, getting back on it felt like going home. Anyway, the long and the short of this is that it’s inspired me to create a club to inspire and be inspired. A community for us to share our love for getting out there and doing it, because I’ve realized that although I spend most of my sporting life on my own I derive the most pleasure when feeling part of something. It’s in its early days, I’ve called it Sporting Club CHPT3 aka SCC3, I’d love you to check it out and join. It’s still in its infancy, but I hope it’s going to grow into something that will inspire you as much as me.show more

So the infamous inkigayo camera kiss scene is memorable... for yeonseok and he cried for real🥺 Q: What is the most memorable line Yeonseok: At first, I didn't really feel it, but after I got proposed by Heejoo and kissed her, the lines in the back were very touching, "I think I know why I had to live as Baek Saeon. I think it was because of you, It was to meet you." That line was very impressive. We kissed after I get a proposal from Heejoo. It was my first time getting a proposal from a female character, so I cried. I thought, “So This is how it feels like to cry when receiving a proposal.” It was even more like that when I was confessed by Hee-joo despite knowing my situation. I said like, 'I guess I've lived like this to meet someone called you,' the line and the kissing scene are memorable."show more

Been using the past 5 days as a test.... I have been VERY inaccessible to my employees. The goal is to: 1. Enjoy vacation 2. See what “breaks” when I’m not working 12 hours per day To my surprise, nothing has broken so far. Not one thing. The business has continued to drive value for clients without my direct involvement. This leaves me with three responsibilities: 1. Lead gen 2. Recruiting 3. Innovation It’s been a fantastic exercise so far (plus I shot -1 par for the first time ever).show more

I wanted to take a moment to talk about... my early stages in golf and hopefully this helps someone out there getting into the game. This video is from 2013, around 1 year into golf and I was shooting mid- low 90s. My Dad was a teaching pro so the fundamentals came easy. However, all my friends at the time played since they were 5 years old and I felt a ton of pressure trying to “catch up”. Golf never seemed to come easy for myself. I struggled really bad for 2-3 years before I saw any true progress. I was never a “natural” at the game At this time, my main goal was to play college golf so a lot of progress needed to take place. So, we moved to Florida as a family for my dads job and that’s when everything changed. I began to practice each day for 3-5 hours. I realized since I wasn’t a natural, I had to work harder then everyone. My scores began to drop into the 70s consistently after 3-4 years of playing. When I started seeing these results I got even more motivated. To play in college I needed to be posting low scores in competitive junior tournaments. These environments I believe took my game even to another level. I began shooting in the low 70s and 60s on a consistent basis. Getting to this point easily took 5 years of grinding, while some of my friends it took 2-3 years. I did end up playing 4 years of D2 college golf and posted a lot of scores I’m super proud of. My overall point is people progress at different speeds in this game. I realize not everyone can’t practice 5 hours a day. But if you haven’t seen results right away, or even years into the game, never give up. Something might click and everything could change!show more

I didn't hear Penny call my name at the... finish line. And tjo shem she tried. I think I know why I didn't hear her shout my name.....My goal was an 11:15 - 11:20 finish. We started in batches of 3 and I was in the 3rd wave. Out of habit, I switched my Garmin off twice at a water point and forgot to switch it back on for a while. My timing was off and I had no idea what time it was. I wasn't worried as I knew I was comfortably ahead of cut-off. At 72 kms, I heard a fellow runner tell another that "We have 2 and a half hours left to finish. We will come in at 11:10." Silly me didn't realize that these were group 2 runners and they had started earlier. Which meant I had even more time to finish and I'd caught up with many Group 2 runners. I had judged myself according to their progress. As I came closer to the finish line I saw the Group 3 clock say 10:58:22. I was stunned, mentally frozen so I switched off and chased my bronze medal with 1 minute 7 seconds to spare. A 10:58:53 finish was satisfying.show more

JADE gets emotional reflecting on her North American tour... in a new TikTok: “I’m having so much fun on this tour. I just feel so grateful that I’m getting to do this at this point in my career. The fact that I get to tour [North America] after being in the industry for 15 years, and only now just getting to do my own headline tour, is incredible. It’s been a long time coming. What’s really beautiful about these shows is that when I look into the audience, I recognise so many of the fans here from back in the day, who’ve literally waited for years – like me! – for this moment. It just makes me feel so loved and supported to know people have believed in me enough to stick around for years waiting for this to happen. Anyone that’s bought a ticket, dressed up, made their own costumes… It’s just such a lovely, beautiful thing. I hope they can see when I’m on stage just how much that means to me, and how much I love performing and putting on the best show that I possibly can every single night. I will never ever take it for granted. I’m just so chuffed that I get to do this for a living… be a silly pop girlie, write and create music that brings people – and myself – a lot of joy… Thank you for believing in me. I literally get on the bunk on my bus most nights from the tour and just lie there like, ‘Oh my god! As if this is my life!’ It means a lot. I hope I get to do this for the rest of my life… Full of gratitude and lots of all the lovely emotions. Thank you so much.”show more

Strength work for Leadville 100 💪 Over the years,... I have felt judged by the research--my strength routines were limited to a few minutes at a time, while everyone was screaming at me from their Abstracts that I needed to do way more. I noticed two big problems whenever I committed to more resistance training: 1. I'd carry around soreness even after the initial adaptation window, likely corresponding to high CK levels and some background inflammation. Either way, it would reduce running economy on subsequent running training days, and every training day counts. Split squats are the ultimate offender--an exercise that I know I should be doing, but I can't without feeling like Forrest Gump after he was shot in the butt. 2. I just wouldn't do it. Oops. With lots of guessing and testing, I developed this routine, which I'd do after my easy run on Sunday (before a Monday rest day), and sometimes after my workout on Wednesday (if I felt like it): 1. Three Minute Mountain Legs, working up to 100 single-leg step-ups (I think step-ups in particular are a magic exercise for running uphill. But remember, magic is not equal to science): 2. Back squats, 2 sets of 10 (135 pounds for me, which I make look like 800 pounds in this video. The 17-year old me who played football would laugh so hard) 3. Back extensions, 2 sets of 30, engaging glutes and hamstrings 4. Single-leg calf raises, 1 set of 100 on each leg, with a 35 pound dumbbell 5. Every day, I do the 2-minute Core Snack routine 1-3 times. My core strength is one of my best attributes for ultras, and I can do the Core Snack with our toddler Leo. I also do daily band work before running (bandz a make me dance): That's it! I also foam roll and stretch daily (don't tell the researchers, but I am a tight boi and as soon as I stop stretching, I get hurt). The lesson is not to do this particular routine, but that strength training for runners can be based on individual needs. And I personally think that routines should be short and efficient for both performance (limiting breakdown) and adherence (limiting me from being a lazy little punk). Find what works for you, do it 1-2 times per week year round (on top of some daily supportive work), and don't feel the need to pursue progressive overload. It's not about getting stronger and stronger (unless you're into that sort of thing for its own sake, which I think will sacrifice some running growth). It's about supporting performance and health 🧡show more

President Carter’s time on this earth is coming to... an end according to his grandson Jason Carter. What a great man. At 99 he has accomplished so much. With an election coming up let’s remember all he has done for voting rights. Jason Carter: "My grandfather is doing okay. He has been in hospice, as you know, for almost a year and a half now, and he really is, I think, coming to the end. I’ve said before, there’s a part of this faith journey that is so important to him, and there’s a part of that faith journey that you only can live at the very end and I think he has been there in that space."show more

Don’t believe the narrative that pregnancy destroys your body.... I’m 3 month postpartum with my 4th. 205 ➡️ 157 I didn’t lose the 5lbs I wanted to this week, but I got close. I also learned that my body is still a fast responder to diet/exercise! I honestly was not expecting such a big change in my body from only 3lbs of fat loss. When I saw what I was on track to lose earlier in the week (thanks homemade turtle brownies 😒) I debated not posting a video at all. But then I started to SEE the results and well… to say they were a massive confidence boost after feeling like a whale for 3 straight months would be an understatement. I still have a ways to go though and my goal is still 5lbs per week till thanksgiving. This is to eliminate the areas I’m self-conscious about - hips, thighs, and stomach. I’m also going to get my waist back (27in) and while there are exercises that will help me cinch it in faster, it’s actually heavily dependent on my rib cage coming back down after pregnancy expanded it. It just takes time 😮‍💨 BUT! I have 2 weeks left till Thanksgiving! My goal was to weigh 145lbs by then. I think I’ll get close… I have the perfect thanksgiving outfit bought and paid for, so it’s high stakes! I’ll post a sample workout I’ve been doing this week later today in another post. It’ll be another video because I want to show anyone interested the key to building a strong core/pelvic floor and healing diastasis recti (yes mama, you can be/feel snatched again)♥️show more

+113k No words can describe the month that I... had to be honest and all I can thank is God and the relations that I have made. To say that 3 months ago I went from -3k -> 5.6k -> 23k to now is just so amazing for me. Im happy with the turnout of every single day as well as I can't thank 67FnF anymore and all the boys that are in there 30-1 pretty damn happy and my 1 off day is the day after I ended a 4-year relationship so i'm happy to say I kept my head down and kept grinding. To 2026, i'm happy to be in the circle I am and good luck to everyone in this Q1 Cycle!show more

On Tuesday morning I hopped on a flight to... NY by myself to watch game 4 of the #WorldSeries hoping for a sweep. I wore my lucky LA hat which had a 10-1 record when wearing it to a Los Angeles Dodgers postseason game since ‘17, including the WS game winner in ‘20. Game 4 was a nightmare. We got SMOKED (my hat now 10-2 😩). You know I wasn’t about to fly home and miss game 5. I had to be there if they clinched, so I pushed my flight back a day. Next thing I know, we’re down 5-0 in game 5. I started to wonder if staying an extra day was a mistake. Then the 5th inning began… It felt like everything was in slow motion from the moment Judge dropped that ball. I knew that very second the Dodgers would find a way to come back and win. There I was, sitting all by myself in a sea of thousands of Yankee fans with my leather Dodger jacket and lucky LA hat on. I had my AirPods in and was listening to my 90’s rock playlist to keep me company as I watched the Yankees fall apart. There was something surreal about this experience. Euphoric. Half way through the 9th inning I joined my fellow Dodger family in attendance behind the visitors dugout knowing a celebration was about to commence. Then it happened… WORLD CHAMPIONS. 🏆 #Dodgers My lucky LA hat = 11-2 💪 I’m retiring him.🧢show more

A fun new hobby of mine is taking the... Tesla to different areas to see how FSD performs. A few days ago I drove from Long Island to Atlantic City. FSD did 99% of the driving. The traffic was very mixed for most of the trip so I considered it a real challenge. Here are a few interesting moments. First time I had Tesla FSD disengage because of weather. We hit a major rain storm. After about a minute I was able to reengage FSDshow more

I did something today that I haven’t done in... years. We had some family in town for a funeral so we decided to take them shooting . We blew up an old piano I had bought several years ago that was just in a barn collecting dust. I got the first shot, and after a bit of trial and error, user error basically, I finally hit the target. The video isn’t great but you can see my enjoyment afterwards when I was jumping up and down.show more
