Post your thoughts in the comments below and I'll bring them up in tonight's SUF LIVE at 7pm.

Michael: "Alright guys, snap your hips on the KB swings, squeeze your butt at the top!" Sohe: "Ooh gurrrrrl, this is my song right here!" Genie: "Free Tacos from Taco Bell! Haayyyyy!"... Sobeida: "THAT'S RIGHT! I NEED TO CLAIM MY TACO, IT WOULD BE WRONG IF I DIDN'T!" Michael: "... good job Irma"

Tune in Tonight at 7PM - everything you need to know about PRE WORKOUTS

Seesaw Pushups combined with an Incline Chaos Press - learned both of these from Joe De Franco. Both of these force you to use more ‘stabilizer’ muscles. Do these slow and you might feel muscle working that you usually don’t use. On the seesaw’s you balance a bar on a DB while doing a push-up. If done right you’ll feel this in your rear delts and scapular retraction muscles (both need constant work to keep your posture right)... The incline chaos press is a good way to ‘learn’ how to squeeze your shoulder blades when pressing. Try these as an activation for a big press. Or as a quick finisher for something different.

Tonight, 7pm - I hope to bury this myth once and for all. (I probably won’t - but still, tune in at 7pm, go to www.SUFInnerCircle.com).

A client that is seeing awesome results asked me last week why she was super tired all the time. She feels she's doing everything right, but she's lethargic 24/7. This is one of those 'x-ray questions' I get from time to time.... Like, "Why does my lower back hurt?" Or "My shoulder doesn't feel right?" And "Why is my body fat not going down?" I need 'x-ray vision' for these types of questions... I need to know your sleep patterns, water intake, food, food, workouts, and food. So in today's email, let me 'carpet bomb' this question and give you my top 7 ways you can instantly boost your energy: ONE >>> Eat as many nutrients as you can Or in other words, have variety in your foods. And Instead of just eating eggs, oatmeal, chicken, rice, asparagus - add in some bell peppers, carrots, cinnamon, garlic, berries, kale, spinach, coco aminos. Then be sure to take Vitamin D (5,000 IU per day), some type of Omega 3 (Krill Oil or wild-caught Fish Oil), and Magnesium (500-1,000 mg per day). TWO >>> Meditate In one way or another, take 5-10 minutes out of your morning and ground your throughts. Ask yourself... What are you going to accomplish that day? What are you grateful for? THREE >>> Water Just drink it already FOUR >>> Sleep Go to bed earlier and stay busy during the day. Limit your Netflix and Phone-scrolling. This will help you knock out right away when your head hits the pillow. FIVE >>> Say 'no' more often Every time you say 'yes' you're already saying 'no' to something else. Focus on what's important to you. And that's only a couple of things. SIX >>> Caffeine only before Noon Anything with caffeine will affect your adrenals up to 12 hours afterwards. The less caffeine you take in, the more your body produces its' own energy. SEVEN >>> Get clear on what you want Once you know exactly what you want in your life, you'll find new energy to pursue it in everything you do. This is a lifelong thing. You're either high energy or low energy. There is no in-between. Hope you got something out of this, see you soon, Michael

Can you eat FRUIT (and still lose weight)? The answer is... YES... But... What are the BEST fruits in the world? What are the worst? What's the best TIME to eat fruit? And are smoothies ok?

I WAS WRONG The year's not over - but it's been crazy. To be honest, I've contemplated making big changes... The pandemic had me thinking "maybe everyone just wants to workout from home now"? And then the shut downs. The fear. The masks. I thought, maybe gyms are 'done' forever (?)... That's crazy Doesn't even sound right. The truth is, I was making a common mistake in 2020: I was willing to make permanent decisions based on temporary feelings. Temporary feelings - because this too shall pass. We're not out of this yet. But let's face it, who knows if we ever will be? That's why you can't live in fear. Scrolling through social media all day. News on repeat. And you can't keep waiting... For permission, validation, the elections. If you want something, do it now. Because if you keep waiting for one thing to be over - another thing will take its place right away. And someone else will live the life you always wanted. Adversity only makes you more resilient. And now more than ever, we need people who are strong, courageous. People who inspire others to level up. This can be you! P.S. SUF is open. If you want the new schedule and details, message me on IG.
