This dude us amazing @_grindhardprayharder_ - I’m proud of you. . I know it was a long road. I know a lot of people discredit what you had to go through as being challenging. I know that you wondered if any of the work you do and dedication you put in will ever mean anything. I’m happy to tell you it does. . God gave you a journey to go on that He didn’t call anyone else to besides you. Bodybuilding shows, Physique shows, fitness shows, might not be one of yours and I can’t say its mine either. It’s just a platform I can use to encourage and motivate those on the same journey—getting in shape, losing weight, living healthier. . I’ve dealt with so much guilt over the years. I hated myself for the times I chose to gym and diet, instead of hanging out with the people I love over the years. But those that loved me, loved me whether I was overweight or in shape. . So I want to tell you the same. I love you as you are for who you are. I would never want you to change and lose yourself, trying to better yourself but forgetting the heart that you have for the person you’ve become. The more that people love you and your heart, the more that the physical appearance doesn’t matter. . But I love you enough to support you if you don’t want make the decision to live healthier. To get in shape. To compete. I love you enough to stand by your side in every journey you’re going through, because I know how hard it is doing it alone. I know that you can do it but I would never want you to feel like you have to. . Thank you everyone for your love and support. I hope that the last years of my journey will motivate you and encourage to commit to grinding for yours. Love you. . #GrindHardPrayHarder #TeamCutz #cnpperformance #MyStrengthIsInTheLord #bodybuilding #Versagripps #fitlife #fattofit #obesetoabeast #transformationfitnation #instagramfitness #weightloss #fitforlife #nwchampionships @northwestchampionships https://www.instagram.com/p/BqBdm3KnNOm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18vbpxmjjymeh

Strength comes in many forms... . Physical, spiritual, mental, emotional... . What is YOUR strong? . My small definition in my arm, is NOT my strength... in fact, if I didn’t drink ketones, I wouldn’t even have THAT muscle (confession, I haven’t worked out it a LONG time... but, that’s about to change!!! 💪🏻)... . My strength is NOT in me at all! . My strength is in the Lord! . He provides me with the strength I need, in the way I need it, when I need it! . Personal development books, exercise, mediation, etc... WILL strengthen me for the time God requires my strength! . Keep growing, keep learning, keep strengthening in Him! . #Godstrong #personaldevelopment #livingtothrivenotjustsurvive #loveyourself #thehealthhacker #mindovermatter #mystrengthisintheLord #strength #muscle #ketones #ketolife #beyourself #bebold https://www.instagram.com/p/BtSRTdOgNN8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pclerdejwxr7

My boy Paul kicking ass, you look awesome. Regrann from @_grindhardprayharder_ - _ 4 weeks out today _ I can confidently say I’ve given my best E V E R Y S I N G L E D A Y. And I’m only going to get better. _ Going into this prep, I didn’t care about competing against anyone other than myself (I never cared about competing against anyone other than myself honestly) I expressed every bit of desire to be the best I can and bring the best I can, to complete the last 10 years of my fitness journey from being overweight, obese, sedentary, and never working out at 320 pounds to my coach @_cutz_ _ “Every coach has had a coach. Every trainer has had a trainer. But an eye has to do with experience and the persons own views.” - Ariel Alberto (cutz) _ In these years of training and studying and learning and applying, it is always important to be most smart about who you are learning, coached, and trained by. . Second to that is, before you decide to go under any training and coaching, YOU HAVE TO PUT ASIDE YOUR BIAS AND WHAT YOU KNOW SO YOU CAN LEARN. . Last and most important: _ T R U S T Y O U R C O A C H & T R U S T T H E P R O C E S S. . The biggest learning curve is not allowing yourself to learn. Everyday is something new for us to learn, everyday is a new day to trust that we will grind as hard as we can to get to where we want, what we want, who we want—this requires trust. . #GrindHardPrayHarder . #CNPPERFORMANCEATHLETE #TEAMCUTZ #VERSAGRIPPS #POWERPERFORMANCEPRODUCTS #HUMPDAYMOTIVATION #MOTIVATION #FITNESS #LIFESTYLE #WEIGHTLOSS #NEVERGIVEUP #FATTOFIT #BODYBUILDING #FOREVERFIT #MYSTRENGTHISINTHELORD #STAYHUMBLE #VANITY #IDENTITY

The man @Regrann from @lift_by_f8th - I can't rest. If I sit still, I'm afraid of missing the opportunity to become better. At times I feel so selfish because beating myself up is the only way I can overcome my problems. Before all of this, it was just pain killers, alcohol, and a lot marijuana to numb me from dealing with life, and handling the reality of issues that I'm facing. Fitness and health to me, isn't just about looking better and physically feeling better, but being healthy is being emotionally stable. To be able to look at life from a perspective of not needing to feed your coping mechanisms with substance abuse and drugs, or anything to delay the reality of actually dealing with our life. Training doesn't solve everything, but it reminds me that at the point of giving up in anything, I find my strength when I am weakest, and where I trust God in every area of my life the most. The transformation from being obese to where I am now, is great and I'm truly blessed, but you should see the transformation of how life could be by letting Jesus lead, before we walk.. There's no weight I can't lift, because Christ has lifted the weight of this world, for you, for me, for all of us.. keep pushing forward my brothers and sisters. Our strength is in the Lord... @cnpperformance @powerperformanceproducts @shieldsofstrength @versagripps @nate_diesel23 #mystrengthisinTheLord #FitForChrist #cnpperformance #cnpperformanceathlete #powerperformanceproducts #ShieldsOfStrength #FitForChrist #mondaymotivation #Regrann

The Man Paul. **Long Post But Read If You Can** I hope this collage encourages you. Many message me and ask me what i did in the beginning and how they should begin their journey. What to do, how to do it? The best advice I can ever give you is embracing the lifestyle change. It's not a temporary diet,  it's not a temporary bulk and cut season, it's not a micro, meso, macro cycle periodization; it is a lifestyle. Through this lifestyle you will encounter many many many seasons of trial and error. In this lifestyle you will be challenged by many doubts, pain, and discouragement; you conquer this by conquering your old self to be your new self. You change the way you think so you can change and become the person you want to be. (Romans 12:1-8) The physical changes we see are cool but the person inside you that continues to develop and mature in life, through life, is beyond anything we can physically change. This is the challenge and this is the hardest part of any journey. If you grasp this, you can build your life and your body on a firm foundation that will not falter. As for history & future fitness goals: 17 - i was 320 pounds (heaviest was 330) 22 - i was 165 pounds (lightest I've ever been and met my mentor and coach @mohookups and the best protein supplement company @cnpperformance) 23 - i stepped on stage at 170 pounds (self coached and lesson learned) 26 - I'm at 185 in the picture 27 - I'm due for another transformation and to beat my last show conditioning and I'm confident that i will. (decade of dedication to transformation) Grind Hard Pray Harder.. It's grind time. #GrindHardPrayHarder #MyStrengthIsInTheLord  #LiveByFaithLiftByFaith #CNPPERFORMANCE #CNPPERFORMANCEATHLETE #cutzfitness #teamcutz #powerperformanceproducts #shieldsofstrength #versagripps #Fitexpo #Npc #musclemania #wbff #teamuniverse #Ironmannpc #fitforlife #transformation #beforeandafter #igweightloss #lifestyle #foreverfit #weightloss #fitjourney #buildmuscleburnfat  #FitnessDevotion
