Your body is like a house, with the exception that it’s the only one you get for your whole life!

Think about the investment that your body is compared to a house…

On average, building a house takes between 7 and 12 months with factors like the complexity of the design, location, and whether it’s a custom build impacting the overall timeline; a standard contractor-built home can be completed in approximately 6-9 months, while a fully custom home might take 10-16 months.

Conversely, it will take at least seven weeks to establish the workout habit and at least 7 to 12 months to build a decent body, and at the low end, the minimum time. This is where you start to lose a lot of people, because they don’t want to accept that their timeline is going to be quite a bit longer than they would hope. You see, people wanna get away with doing the least amount of work possible and getting the best outcome these days. Somehow, having a disconnect from the fact that it took a long time to end up in the condition they are currently in.

If you take a look above, you can see the custom home portion saying ten to sixteen months – and use this as your bare minimum baseline to manage your expectations.

Let’s be honest – this is under the best of circumstances, so you better tack on some extra time, because you know right now that you’re not gonna be perfect, and you’re probably gonna have some regressions along the way.

I’m picturing a couple houses in the process of being built right now in the winter, with the freezing temperatures…it isn’t a great time to be out there finishing these houses. But I’ll tell you this, everyday these houses sit out there in the weather unfinished, they’re deteriorating slowly…much like you will if you neglect to finish building your physiological house.

Imagine a guy like me as the general contractor and you essentially as the future homeowner and the laborer that has to do all the work and pay for your house. Reading those above lines just can piss some people off – because you can’t just buy this outcome for yourself. You have to pay for it and you have to earn it—and that is bc this is a process, and not a product.

I’d also like to point out that just because you’re showing up “to work,” in quotations, on the daily doesn’t mean your house is gonna end up being built very well. So you could be putting in a whole hell of a lot of time, $, & effort and not even ending up with a desirable outcome—expending all those resources for a home that you are unhappy with.

The sooner you can start viewing your physiological self (you are a living breathing piece of real estate) as the aforementioned, you can be psychologically equipped to know what to expect, and the work that’s ahead.

Lastly, you need to stop fantasizing about what the finished product could be or look like and start obsessing about the daily work that needs to be put in in order to get that sort of outcome.

Your body, unfortunately, is the house you have to live in your entire life….you can’t sell it…all you can do is continually make improvements and updates to it, and build the equity of it—or you can diligently neglect it and watch it depreciate in value, right in front of your own eyes and everyone else’s.

‼️ FYI ‼️

I offer FREE INSPECTIONS & APPRAISALS right in the gym.

You don’t need to pay me any money for this valuable service— just arrive in a clean pair of sneakers and some clothes that you can move around in well….Because I’m gonna put your body to the test, not sit there and visit with you about your entire life’s history or gloat about the things that I’m capable of doing for you.

1️⃣ You will need to sign a digital waiver in case you die (hasn’t happened ever…I promise & I’ve actually saved lives!).

2️⃣ I won’t hurt you in any way other than maybe your ego, so please leave that in your high school gym class or with your fantasy football league.

3️⃣ More than likely you are going to leave having learned some new things about yourself, and probably an elevated level of curiosity as to what it could look like training like this on a regular basis.

So get a good night’s sleep…pack yourself a healthy & nutritious lunch, and be prepared for some Iron Therapy.

Life is short, Let’s BEEfit!

I’m ready to help you!

-Ryan

The All Natty Muscle Coach, nutritionist, performance, & fat loss specialist @ BEEfit

What do I do for you as a personal trainer is a lot like what a master builder does for a home: 

Physique & Movement Assessment: Gather data.

Diagnose: Pinpoint the issue and address needs.

Build/Intervene: Create a plan. 

Monitor & Evaluate: Track progress and adjust plan as needed for progress.

I work with you to build a training system that drives real results. 

Based upon your body, your schedule, your goals/needs, and your access to equipment. 

You get an expert guide to be there with you, rep by rep, day by day. This does more than provide accountability. This is hiring a master builder versus a guy that builds rudimentary bird houses. 

This is how you make sure your efforts and time are focused on the right things at the proper time.

Fitness success and your best version is right here. 

WHAT IS IN A PLAN? Typically covering  a 6-12 week span. The plan will cover your workouts, nutrition, supplementation, recovery, philosophy, psychology, cardio regimen and everything you need to know to affect your physiology (how you look and feel). Your custom plan will address all these factors to achieve your desired outcome. Most importantly, we build a sustainable habit and an outcome that you are happy with.

What have I learned?

There is a principle that rules over us–

“Aphercotropism: The response an organism has as it grows to overcome an obstacle in its way.

I have learned that perception shapes perspective.”

Self determination is a blessing and a right but it might just be more like a muscle than anything else: exercise it, recover/exercise it consistently so it grows stronger…use it or lose it.

Life is a combination of a maze and an obstacle course. 

You only lose when you quit trying. 

It’s not how many times you get knocked down that matters, 

it is how many times you are willing to pick yourself back up.

You can learn as much from a ‘miss,’ as you can a, ‘make.’

Keep taking shots…unless you’re drinking–and know that a ‘drunk’ is a ‘wasted’ human.

You must be your own best friend, 

Greatest advocate, 

Loudest fan and source of counsel, 

Empowered by curiosity, 

do your best to find a balance between life coach and a minister of grace.

Discipline, determination, and discernment are your tools for evaluation and action–

They will dictate your ability to navigate through life.

An attitude full of gratitude will take you to the highest altitude. 

Be thankful for every day and embrace the beauty. 

Without a strong body and mind, 

your time on earth is significantly more challenging: 

protect and build these two up as much as you can: they are intertwined. 

You will not regret the time you give your mind and body to get healthier, stronger, and more resilient…the two together are utterly brilliant. 

The mind and soul exact a powerful toll–

Payments are investments and deposits in your standards.

Your standards, though set, will adapt as you adopt new perspectives.

You probably won’t change the world, but you can change and decide how you react and interact.

Identity and break generational curses. 

Don’t leave your descendants with your decadent disasters, messes, and lousy habits…your DNA is a campsite that you leave for your offspring…don’t leave them wondering why you did nothing to improve the site.

No one is coming to save you and the world is self centered–yet not completely self absorbed.

You show the world and people how to treat you by how you treat the world and people you interact with. 

Don’t let any realization make you anything other than exactly who you want to be.

Self determination isn’t easy when it is worthwhile.

Struggling is usually an indication that you are doing something worthwhile.

If things are going smoothly–you have either set yourself up for success or you are drifting with the current–make sure you are going the right way.

I have learned

That your habits and environment dictate your future more than anything else. 

Examine and evaluate these two things constantly.

Don’t hold on to anger. 

Dislike where you are? Change your habits, change your environment.

Habits are investments. Invest wisely.

Do not tolerate habits or environments that aren’t aligned with your principles.

BEE intentional with who you are and what you do.

BEE kind.

BEE the change you want to see.

BEE consistent.

Keep promises to yourself and you will be as happy as you can be. 

Instead of accumulating lots of friends, make lots of investments in the friends you have.

EVERYTHING is temporary. PAIN, LOVE, LIFE…make sure you experience them fully in order to learn from them. The more you embrace PAIN, LOVE, and LIFE, the more you can appreciate, recognize, and empathize.

BEE succinct and pithy.

BEE WHO YOU WANT TO BEE.

Men over 30! Stop putting your health on the back burner. Putting your physical health first will make you more capable in every facet of your life!

Don’t fall for the, “Dad body” death trap!

Don’t fall into the trap of becoming weak, fat, undermuscled, and unhappy!

We are meant to level up physically, emotionally, and financially.

Don’t let society make you feel “Toxic” for driving to achieve these values. 

Separate yourself from people that don’t want you to be stronger and healthier physically, emotionally, and financially. 

Men who want to be their best/ would do anything for their families are willing to do what is necessary to be their best physically (resistance training), emotionally (resilient and articulate), and financially (stable, supportive, and accumulative).

From age 30 onward, the body rapidly loses muscle without the intervention of, and institution of resistance training. You can choose to get weaker and dramatically age, or you can do resistance training to promote muscle growth and take charge of your physique. Without resistance training you will get weaker, your metabolism will slow down, you age more dramatically and you are lessening your independence. 

Men are happiest when they are improving themselves physically, emotionally, and financially. An idle man is a depressed man.

Now I cannot directly improve your financial situation.

But in my experience, 

When a man levels up physically, he levels up emotionally as he becomes more resilient and better at managing stress and various emotional states. 

This leveling up carries over to finances. 

It is very common to essentially level up physically, emotionally, and financially simultaneously. 

The common trait?

Consistency. 

Men, if you are ready to get the most from yourself and BEE your best version, you are ready for the BEEfit Men’s Health Program!

Men: it is time to prioritize our physical and emotional health. It is time for action. It is time to BEEfit and not look back!

Muscles and Strength promotion is essential for those over 60…

Weak muscles equate to brittle bones, increased health risks, premature aging, falling risks, and a shortening of one’s play span. 

BEEfit started off as strictly personal training. Designing and implementing a strength and resiliency program for our owner’s mother was a primary goal.

Our BEEfit “Grandma” was born in the 40s, had a catastrophic ankle injury/surgery in 2008, and hadn’t lifted weights before starting off on her resistance training journey.

Our Goals & Expectations:

-Improved strength and capabilities so she can travel independently through Europe, take care of and play with grandkids, and continue to do the things she enjoys.

🦴Stronger bones 

💤Better sleep 

🔥Lower mortality rate/ longer play span. 

🤷‍♂️Less anxiety 

🎓Sharper cognition 

🏋️‍♀️ Peak performance potential 

🚑Lowest risk for injury!

📈Improved health and increased play-span!

This program  meets the trainee where they are and modifications and progressions of motions:

Hip hinge, squat, vertical pull/push, horizontal pull/push, core strength, ankle flexion with calf strength, stairs/steps, lateral raises, rear delt fly…& more to address the global muscle development. 

Top three moves that I use to take my mom from,  “Too Old” to “Able Bodied”.

-Goblet Squat

-Reverse Lunge

-Romanian Deadlift

-We do more than just these three moves, but these are definitely foundations for movement. 

Just a few other important movements:

Plank, crunches, Lateral steps, lat pulldown, row, pressing, leg extensions, leg curls, & many more movements to increase strength and independence!

If leg muscles are weak, then our activity levels are low, injury risks from falling and falling increase, social connections weaken (not getting out as much), and overall health suffers. Lifting weights is less about vanity and more about functionality. It is proactive health instead of reactive sick care. It is the best way to offset the effects of aging. 

If you are looking to help your elders live a longer and happier life…then it is time to BEEfit!

Your Body NEEDS RESISTANCE TRAINING…

You are a soul in a body. Not a body in a soul. Your body is a vessel and you are trapped inside this vessel for all your mortal time. While you’re trapped in this vessel, you might as well make it the best it can be, right? This vessel is highly capable and adaptable–it will bend and be shaped by the consistency of your habits…the body needs your agency to help with the upkeep of this vessel–this mortal machine that is the human body. 

A lifelong hobby we should all be engaged in is the promotion and maintenance of our muscles. Why? Muscles are directly tied to mortality, longevity, and your ability to do the things you enjoy. From your brain to your heart, every organ of your body benefits from resistance exercise. Your very genetic code that you pass on to your offspring is either improved from resistance exercise, or weakened by the lack thereof! Yes, that has been proven! Even though you’ve been with your body your whole life, you probably don’t understand all the proper ways to engage the muscles of the body or how or what to eat to maximize muscle recovery and thus growth.

Metabolism = muscles. 

Most people decide to increase cardio and decrease food intake to lose FAT…THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST WAYS TO LOWER BODY FAT AND IMPROVE HEALTH.

Cardio is for your HEART! It is not going to change how you look! (You burn more calories doing resistance training and you promote and maintain metabolic rates far greater via resistance training–henceforth why ALL NATURAL BODYBUILDERS can produce such amazing physiques–UTILIZE THE BEST PRINCIPLES FOR THE BEST RESULTS). 

Resistance training, in particular, HYPERTROPHY, is how you adapt MORPHOLOGICALLY. 

HYPERTROPHY + NUTRITION + SLEEP (AND STRESS CONTROL) W/ CONSISTENCY=RESULTS

BEEfit’s role in this process? 

Set you up with the program to support your principled habituation…it isn’t simply a goal, it is the standards we set and the process built around proven principles so you can put your full efforts behind the best health investment strategy! Your time is valuable. We make sure you spend your time on the fitness aspects that bring you the greatest returns.   

How am I so confident in this process?

For over 10 years, this is how I have helped thousands of “regular” people go from ZERO gym experience, OVERWEIGHT, ON MEDICATIONS, & MOVING POORLY to MOVING EFFICIENTLY, WITHOUT PAIN, AND CONFIDENTLY PROGRESSING AND TRAINING INDEPENDENTLY….

FOR over 20 years, coach Ryan has been his own client and testing ground for the best practices. We are happy to say that we practice what we preach! These principles are why coach Ryan is one to the top ALL NATURAL BODYBUILDERS in the UNITED STATES. So we take all that we have learned and we help others.

COACH RYAN also draws upon his experience as a physical education teacher of 5 years spent in Early Childhood Education. Combining this experience with competitive athletics and multiple injury and surgery recoveries, makes for a unique and holistic perspective that allows for far reaching insights into the human condition, what it means to be healthy, and what it takes to progress into optimal health where one is their most resilient and the most capable.

To…

BE IN CONTROL OF THEIR VESSEL (BODY COMPOSITION), ESTABLISH A PROGRAM OF PROTOCOLS = THEY HAVE REPLACED OLD HABITS WITH NEW HABITS! & WE’RE OFF MEDS AND MOVING BETTER!  

HOW MANY MUSCLES ARE IN THE HUMAN BODY?

There are 639 muscles in the human body—good luck counting them all. Although there are three different types of muscles, the type that many of us are most familiar with is the skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles attach to our bones, pushing and pulling our body in different directions so we can move.

-THREE OF THE FIVE LARGEST MUSCLE GROUPS IN YOUR BODY ARE IN YOUR LEGS! DON’T SKIP LEG DAYS! (GLUTES, QUADS, HAMSTRINGS)

1-GLUTES

-The gluteus maximus, more commonly known as your “glutes,” is one of the most powerful muscles in the body. It’s critical in almost every big movement you perform, including walking, jumping, sprinting, and climbing the stairs.

-Best Glute Moves

1.Deadlift

2.Lunge

3.Hip thrust

-(add a lateral movement and if you really want to add another, a glute kickback motion on a cable or using the lying leg curl as a kickback machine).

–I go into greater detail and explanation in my full article on this matter.

2-LATS

Found just below the armpit (below the teres and rhomboid muscles) and running all the way down to the obliques (hip) and gluteus medius, the fan-like latissimus dorsi is the largest muscle in your upper body. 

To properly work the lats, we need to do pull up and row motions. 

Most importantly, we need the scapulas to be engaging to move the resistance. 

PULLDOWNS/PULL-UPS

Rows

-My full article goes into great detail and provides video examples for all these motions…

3-QUAD

some of the strongest muscles in the body, your quadriceps are with you every step of the way. Literally. These massive muscles located on the front of your thighs are critical for walking, running, and lifting your legs. Your “quads” also help you extend your knees and bend your hips.

If you suffer from knee pain, weak quads could be the culprit. Your quads function as shock absorbers when you run or jump. Weak quads put more pressure on your knees, which can lead to pain and knee-related injuries.

-FRONT SQUAT VARIATIONS AND BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUATS

FRONT SQUAT VARIATIONS progress from goblet to bar to hack squats (and combo of other tier one quad movements: Pendulum, Leg Press, Belt Squat, Smith). With all three of those being in play from advanced lifters. The biomechanics of the motion are best learned with the goblet squat. Lifters that skip the phase of learning the goblet squat form and building strength in that motion will simply have more issues later on down the road. Simply put, get good at goblet squats before moving on to other quad dominant squat variations.

-Leg Extension machine is a must do! Why? Ask your Rectus Femoris. Since yours isn’t likely speaking these days, I’ll let you know about this particular head of the quads…it doesn’t get stimulated much in the front squat or the bulgarian or hacks or leg press. It needs this motion for proper stimulation!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x56-r4gnL0U

4. HAMSTRINGS

On the other side of the coin (or legs rather )you have your hamstrings. This large muscle group consists of three muscles that run from your hip down to your knee. These muscles help you walk, climb stairs and squat down. If you have hip or knee pain, you might want to give a little extra attention to your hamstrings, as they help bend the knee and rotate your hip.

A lot of gym goers remember to work out their quads but overlook their glutes,  hamstrings and hip flexors. These muscles all work in harmony, so make sure you work them as well. Your hamstrings get primary focus with these exercises.

5. PECS

One of the largest muscles in the upper body. The pectoralis major links the front of the chest to the shoulder and upper arm. You engage these muscles anytime you do a pushing movement, such as pushing open a door or throwing a ball. However, your pecs are responsible whenever you move your arms. Most lifters can make great progress on their chest muscles with three to four exercises.

-Focus on 1-2 pressing variations and see what you get from them. Overall, most people benefit from incline pressing variations most. For overall development, some flat or decline angle pressing is recommended.

PRIORITIZING on the largest muscles in the body can net you the best return on your exercise investment. Working your large muscle groups reduces your injury risk while also improving your performance in all your fitness-related undertakings. Whether you’re looking to set a new personal record or just keep up with your kids/grandkids. Whether you’re young or old, or healthy or ailing–resistance training is your key investment strategy and your large muscles will yield the greatest returns.
