If you truly want to get bigger, faster and stronger this offseason don’t neglect your nutrition or rest! Lift all the weights you want but you won’t grow without adequate calories, carbohydrates and protein! You also need rest and recovery to adapt to the training. Don’t waste this time! 💪 champions are built in the offseason! 🔥

🗣️Here’s how I “start”any of the athletes on creatine after we have done our initial consultation. 💊3g X 3x/day dosing for males 9g total or a simple 5-10g dose daily. 💊3g x 2x/day dosing for females =6g total or a simple 5-7g dose daily. Helps mitigate any “potential” concerns for bloating or GI distress. Do this for 4-6 weeks then settle on a 5-10g creatine dose 1x/day Kept in mind my clients and athletes are under my supervision, only third party tested creatine, each dose is mixed in yogurt + fruit at breakfast or post-workout with chocolate milk + banana or protein fruit smoothie/ This works. Both my HS and college athletes feel comfortable and safe doing this as well as their parents. Many of which have gained muscle, felt better , more energy and less sore. Creatine supplementation is works. But you must also lift weights, train consistently, eat enough calories, carbs and protein. It’s not magic but it’s safe and beneficial. I look forward to discussing this more next month at @IntSocietySN

Was not ready for Eric Church to deliver the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard. Six guitar strings. Six pillars of a life. Faith. Family. Spouse. Ambition. Community. You. Tune them when you’re whole, not just when you’re broken. Watch the whole thing.

"I can count on one hand the number of times I trained in plated shoes the whole build. Maybe 25 miles total. The idea was: if I can run sub-5:00 pace in an unplated trainer, I know I'm getting something extra on race day." – 2:05 marathoner Vincent Mauri citiusmag.com/articles/citiu…
