woke up yesterday and chose violence with a long back day workout ending with 5x5 rack pulls & 35min of stairmaster. Rack pulls are super important if you want to not only strengthen your back but build thickness, and I mean thicccccness in your back.. I have the bar set below my knees with my back retracted shoulders back, eyes forward. Back days are full of pulling motions so I have wrist wraps to help me maintain my grip. -Ryan

What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it’s the size of the fight in the dog.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower In life, it's not always the biggest or strongest who come out on top. It's about the fire within, the grit and determination to keep pushing forward despite the odds. That's what truly counts. -Ryan

Where I’m at, not where I wanna be. That’s the reality I’ve faced. I know where my goals lie. I know where I’m at and I know the challenges it will take to get to the end. And I use “end” loosely. There is no end. Only the journey. -Ryan

Traveling a lot this last 2 weeks. But I finally found not 1, but 2 dope gyms to train at and I’m so excited to get back on a routine! It’s okay if you fall off the wagon, as long as you hop back on and keep going & don’t give up! - Ryan

When holding a pistol, avoid "tea cupping" where you use your non-dominant hand to cradle the grip. Instead, focus on a proper two-handed grip by firmly grasping the pistol with your dominant hand and overlapping with your non-dominant hand. Keep those thumbs forward, align everything with your forearm, and maintain a stable stance. And of course, remember to keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot. Practicing this technique will help improve your accuracy and control. -Ryan

Being physically fit is like having a shield that protects you from various health risks and challenges. When you're in good shape, your body is better equipped to fight off illnesses, recover from injuries, and maintain overall well-being. Regular exercise strengthens your immune system, improves cardiovascular health, enhances flexibility and mobility, and boosts mental resilience. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. Being physically fit not only enhances your quality of life but also increases your longevity, making it your best defense against a multitude of health issues.

One thing I've noticed lately: This shit is a constant uphill battle. Most days I feel drained, depressed, and unmotivated. But I'm still here, and often that's enough. Don't let the pretenders on this app fool you—they're all dealing with the same struggles. They just dress it up and pretend it's perfect. It's not. Just make it to tomorrow and adjust. I still have to remind myself out loud and take my own advice too. Posting from a random hotel in the middle of the desert…. -Ryan

Practice practice practice. your gear should act like it is apart of you because of how well you know your gear and how it feels on your body, and in your hands. When you get new gear whether it’s body armor, a new PDW, red dot, etc, how do you know how it works with you unless you’ve put reps among reps in down range with the same gear. Take this for example, I was doing a photo shoot for a buddy’s car company, and wanted to try out my new plate carrier in the meantime . It was a rather expensive plate carrier, and before I got new attachments for it, I wanted to see how it felt to move in, how tight it was. Etc. Come to find out this plate carrier is TIGHT as hell on me, especially since I’m gaining weight! I didn’t think it was an issue still I started running in it, and my lungs can only expand half the normal capacity! Talk about a major issue! Luckily I got it exchanged for a different size later on, but I became one with the gear, was comfortable with the material, the elasticity of the mag pouches resistance, how it felt when shouldering my weapon etc. Take this with everything you do in life. You’ve gotta put reps in with anything you want if you want to be good at it, and get comfortable with it. That’s the only way to success. -Ryan

Hydration is super important, guys! Keeping that water intake up is like giving your body a big boost. It's all about feeling your best right? On top of added mobility, flexibility, you’ll have lessened brain fog, less headaches, and able to think clearer! When you're hydrated, you've got more energy, increased metabolism, and everything just seems to work better. Plus, it's like a natural detox for your body, flushing out all the junk and keeping things running smoothly. Grab that water bottle and keep it close all day long. Your body will totally thank you for it! Stay hydrated!! -Ryan

Getting into a regular workout routine is the secret sauce for crushing your fitness goals. It's not just about squeezing in a gym session here and there; it's about committing to a plan and sticking to it like glue. By making exercise a regular part of your day, you build up that muscle called discipline, form healthy habits, and set yourself up to win big. Whether it's hitting the weights, going for a jog, or busting out some yoga moves, sticking to your routine ensures you're making progress toward those fitness dreams, step by step. Consistency is the name of the game, and we're here to crush it! & shout out to my messy apartment for for authenticity in the background 😂 I’m in the middle of packing🙂🙃 -Ryan

Devoting 30 minutes to the treadmill is a cornerstone of my fitness routine, offering a plethora of benefits. I tend to stick to a 2.7-3.0 speed, incline of 10-12, & for 20-45 minutes, normally about 30 (depends on the mood). This is going to cardiovascular health, strengthens the heart, and boosts lung capacity. Additionally, it aids in weight management by torching calories and promoting fat loss, while also enhancing overall endurance and stamina. Plus, regular treadmill sessions can uplift mood, reduce stress, and sharpen mental focus. There’s also running outside, which I’m excited to get back into once my knees can handle the impact of trail running again! -Ryan

Here’s some shit I’ve been thinking about lately… STOP apologizing to people for chasing down your goals & dreams. Listen, you're not going to be understood. People are not going to understand your drive & your desire to achieve what you want in life. Too many people apologize to the wrong people who are trying to derail them from accomplishing what's important. Do me a favor: The next time you get ready to say you're sorry to somebody because they're speaking up about something you're doing... Take a second & say: "Why are you telling me this is wrong?" "What happened to you in your life? What is causing you to want to derail me from mine?" Because 99% of people who are trying to steer you off the course of success have tried & failed. So pardon my language, but F#CK THEM. You don't need them. Get rid of them & go be the best version of you can be. -Ryan

We GROW through everything we GO through. The good, the not so good; it all has a lesson if we care to pay attention to it. Life has been challenging in a lot of ways since the start of the year. BUT amidst those challenges l've faced, have also been so fortunate for the blessings that have at times come right alongside those challenges. I used to get really mad at the world when things weren't aligning how I wanted them to.. NEVER looking at the good in my life, partly because I saw everyone else seemingly so happy, successful, or care-free. But I learned that everyone has struggles. Many are too afraid to show that they overcome battles daily, and instead would rather project a perfect life with no obstacles. Embrace the struggle. Embrace the glory. And always remember this... There is NEVER more bad in your life than good. You woke up today. You have people who love you and want to see you happy. Go be happy. #Wednesday #humpday -Ryan

To stay proficient with your equipment and weapons, it's crucial to become intimately familiar with them. That means more than just having them in your possession—it means putting in the time to understand every aspect. Feel the grip of your gun in your hand, shoulder it to find the perfect fit, and practice aiming down sights until it becomes second nature. Spend time dry firing to hone your muscle memory and ensure you're ready for any situation. By taking the time to truly know your gear inside and out, you'll be prepared to handle whatever comes your way. -Ryan

Life man, what a roller coaster. If it’s not one thing it’s another. when things get tough and the road ahead seems uncertain, the gym becomes my go-to spot, my place to recharge and refocus. I've faced my fair share of challenges, but finding refuge doing something that I enjoy and engulfing myself in it gives me a sense of purpose and drive. It's not just about working out; it's about finding that one thing that lights you up inside and sticking with it, day in and day out. Discipline, not just motivation, is what keeps me going strong. Every session is a reminder of my commitment to myself, a chance to show the world what I'm made of. You can be fully motivated, but if you don’t have discipline, nothing will happen. -Ryan
