I’ve been quiet on here while I sort through some mental health issues. Workouts have been a struggle as life has gotten harder to cope with. I’m still here tho

Went 3x8 @ 185 lbs on back squat but w/poor form so IDK if it counts for much. DB chest press is up to 55 lbs per hand so I’m happy about that! The power of reps compels me! #exorcist #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness

This is me after having successfully back squatted my body weight (185 lbs). Elbow was acting up so I couldn’t hit arms very much. It’s something! #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #strokesurvivor #fitsky

Mobility day, so nothing too crazy. Did some steep one arm rows on TRX that were taxing, but I mostly just wanted to show off my new Natural Born Killers T-shirt 🙂 #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #90smovies #oliverstone

I know I’ve been slacking on my #accountability updates but I Have been working out. Today was deadlift day and even tho it wasn’t as good as I’d hoped, I still got some heavy lifts in along with a quick arm set (elbow is getting better) and burned over 400 kcal on elliptical. #fitafter40

Short #workout today; too time compressed. But got more cable chest press in and some hanging knee raises of which I’m unimpressed. Dragon flags hit core much better. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #fitsky #strokesurvivor

Good #workout today; cable chest press was on 🔥 3x10 at 53 lbs per hand, inclined. Quads are still alight from the squats the other day so I opted for some hamstring work. Lat pulldown are still impossible thanks to my elbow. Dr visit tomorrow; hope for some answers! #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitsky

T1 Personal Training @t1personaltraining.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Decent #workout today. Went 3x10 @ 175 lbs on back squat, then doubled up on machine leg press. Feeling good about it all for the 1st time in a while. #fitnesssky #fitafter40 #fitness #strokesurvivor

T1 Personal Training @t1personaltraining.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Haven’t been paying much on here because I haven’t felt very inspired lately. Even the #Daredevil gear didn’t help today. Workouts have been mediocre; progress has been slow. Summer is like that. I figure it will turn around soon, just not yet. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #fitsky

The viral video of Pete Hegseth trying to bench 135 lbs would only be mildly amusing if he weren’t such a Naz! shit-stain whose arrogance is dwarfed only by the reality of his ineptitude and inadequacy in every meaningful aspect of his existence. It is the perfect metaphor for his party. #loser

Went full Green Lantern for today’s #workout. Got a little out of my comfort zone for some machine work, including leg press. I still hate machine chest press but you need to switch it up. 🎶 x Nevada Hardware. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #fitsky #greenlantern #neongreenteam #dccomics #dc

And with that, I took the plunge and decided to “recertify for life.” I’ve been a full time personal trainer for almost five years now. I want a career that will keep me healthy, engaged, and fulfilled and this is the best one I’ve found so far. 16-y-o me is like WTF? #fitafter40 #fitnesssky

Behold, an exercise of my own design: the kaiju lunge. If regular walking lunges are tricky due to compensations, this may help. Instead of stepping straight forward, step a little to the outside of your hip with every step. I find these more forgiving than regular walking lunges. 1/

Happy pride month. Totally forgot to take an accountability selfie because dumb, but my arm looks gross anyway with the second skin covering my tattoo. I’ll do better tomorrow.

Upgraded my arm with some new ink! The green on my shoulder is a new sigil made from a CT scan of my brain hemorrhage 9 yrs ago. The others are neurons. #strokesurvivor #brainhealth #tattoo #freshink #newtattoo #sleevetattoo #strokerecovery

Vacation #workout at the local gym. Had to keep it short. Wasted a little time on janky machines but free weights never let me down. Banged out some zero degree 🐉 flags and didn’t kill my elbow. Things are looking up. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #fitsky #strokesurvivor #burnemdown

T1 Personal Training @t1personaltraining.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Elbow is getting better; single arm cable rows were mostly pain free even at 50 lbs. Barbell RDLs were wack until I figured out my right hand grip strength is better when supinated. Mixed grip for those from now on, esp. at heavy weight. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #strokesurvivor #fitness #fitsky #pwei

T1 Personal Training @t1personaltraining.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

STILL nursing this bad elbow but it’s getting better, I swear. Nothing too heavy except the cable chest press; that’s still strong. Push does not make me hurt the way pull does, it seems. Could only do TRX rows today. Burned over 400 kcal on elliptical tho. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness

T1 Personal Training @t1personaltraining.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

I’ve been doing #workouts but I’m getting a little bored with just [post-lift pic] [workout notes] vibe of all my other posts. I also don’t want to do some awkward hustle where I flex, begging you to DM me for 1:1 coaching. BUT I need to figure some way to $$$tize this. Fuck capitalism.

T1 Personal Training @t1personaltraining.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

NGL, w/the stress of moving, I expected this scan to be abysmal BUT despite almost no change in total weight, my SMM is up and BF% continues to drop. I am definitely NOT cutting at the rate I’d hoped for and I doubt I’ll meet my goal by June but I haven’t failed either so I’m happy about that.

BF% is the lowest it’s been in a long time. SMM is finally trending back up

Short #workout but a good one; went machine-focused today which I don’t often do. It’s good to switch things up! #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #waxtrax #industrialmusic

So I left out a couple workouts because I found a new gym close to home and I forgot to document, but this workout was pretty heavy on chest and arms. Still nursing my elbow but it’s improving. Burned over 400 kcal on elliptical too! #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #strokesurvivor

Went full Vader for Star Wars Day! 1st workout in almost a week, nursing what I hope isn’t an arthritic left elbow, but avoided any serious pain. Just moved to a new apt that’s made my commute longer. Things suck right now but I’m hoping it turns around soon. 🤞🏻 #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #starwars

T1 Personal Training @t1personaltraining.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Awesome #workout w/lots of landmine exercises, forcing core into overdrive. Legs were barbell lunges w/core rotation, challenged arms with tri extensions and bicep curls, finished with cable core rotations and 🐉 flags. Felt pretty super today. #greenlantern #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness

060

T1 Personal Training @t1personaltraining.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

These 🐉 flags suck but filming showed me where I’m going wrong: Not pushing my hips at the top, nor straightening out as I come down. Too much spinal curvature makes it easier but less effective. The 10 sec hold at the end is new tho! Progression doesn’t always mean more reps. #fitafter40 #fitness

T1 Personal Training @t1personaltraining.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Super weekend #workout. Getting ready to move so time’s been compressed. Doing a lot with so little ⏰ is frustrating. Heavy Smith chest press & plate rows, lat pulldowns, as well as banded cable work. 🐉 flags were good too. I stopped slacking. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #strokessurvivor

Mobility day, focusing on hips. Included some landmine press, kaiju lunges, and Pallof torso rotations. Mobility is an important part of my ongoing stroke recovery process. Hip mobility helps my walking gait and keeps me from tripping. I can’t ignore the little things. #strokesurvivor

T1 Personal Training @t1personaltraining.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

It officially feels like spring here. Warm, humid, awful. Short but good workout, heavy on the cable chest press and barbell RDL. Been doing these cable torso rotations that kick my ass. Tomorrow is mobility day! I also have to wash my car before @carolinamic23.bsky.social hits me with a sneaker. 🤣

T1 Personal Training @t1personaltraining.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

NGL I thought March went poorly but the results speak otherwise. Everything is trending down especially PBF. The loss of muscle mass is sad but understandable due to attrition during a cut. I’ve revamped my diet to include more protein. Gonna lift heavy to suit while staying in deficit. Let’s go! 👍🏻🤘🏻

InBody history. PBF is the lowest it’s been in a long time. Hope to slow down muscle degeneration but I’m still strong and lifting heavy!

Hotel gym who dis? Testing out a new amino powder with blood flow enhancing properties. IDK why I bother chasing pump because I have the skin tone of a corpse. My BF% could be -3 and I’d still have no definition. And no, I can’t tan, literally can’t, so don’t even mention it. #fitnesssky #fitafter40

In #fitness, we rarely talk about the importance of #recovery. This is different from rest. Rest usually comes in the form of sleep or long periods of little to no movement of affected muscles. It’s necessary for muscles to heal and grow. But it’s different from recovery. 1/

Finally felt well enough to attempt some heavy squats and went 3x8 @ 175 lbs. Not the best angle, but decent squat depth. Legs definitely burned! #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #fitsky #trainforhealth
