COACH BRIAN

Does your week start on Monday? Or does it start today? •• Set yourself up for success by making a plan for the week or getting a workout in today when you have time! •• Build momentum and crush the week! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #fitnessmotivation #fitness #instafit #1stphorm #iam1stphorm #crossfit #albanyny (at Albany, New York)

You have to show up. •• You can write down goals, you can talk about losing weight, getting in better shape. But if you don’t show up then none of that can happen. •• Show up and put the work in. Do that day after day, month after month, year after year and you’ll have some results. •• It all starts with showing up. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #1stphorm #legionofboom #iam1stphorm #neversettle #100to0 #duespaid #crossfit #wod #fitness #fitnessmotivation #weightloss #albanyny #colonieny #instafit #instadaily #weightlifting #supplements (at West Albany, New York)

You’re going to fail, there’s no way around it. If you are really pushing yourself and throwing yourself out there then failures will happen, but you have to learn from it. •• Today was a whole bunch of failures for me, but going to look at it as a whole bunch of lessons learned instead. •• I got better today regardless of the failures. Learn and then move on, there’s work to be done. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #1stphorm #neversettle #legionofboom #duespaid #100to0 #iam1stphorm #crossfit #fitness #fitnessmotivation #defytheodds #albanyny #colonieny #wedothework #bethe1 (at Colonie, New York)

Practiced some DB Snatches the other night with the new standards for the @crossfit Open. •• You can’t just show up and expect to win or expect results. You have to put in the work on the little things. It pays off in the end. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #1stphorm #duespaid #iam1stphorm #legionofboom #neversettle #100to0 #wedothework #crossfit #crossfitopen #fitness #fitnessmotivation #albanyny #518 #colonieny #wod #competition #compete #results #weightloss (at Black Sheep Project)

January is coming to an end and that “New Year” motivation is starting to fade. But you can’t stop now if you want to achieve those goals. •• At some point this year you’ve probably made an effort to get in better shape, or make it to the gym more consistently. •• That’s not always an easy thing to do, but you are totally capable of it! •• If your fitness routine isn’t cutting it or you don’t know where to start, then shoot me a message. I’m ready to help! So let’s get started! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #BLACKSHEEPFit #defytheodds #productoftheproject #1stphorm #iam1stphorm #legionofboom #duespaid #100to0 #wedothework #fitness #crossfit #wod #healthylifestyle #goals #motivation #albanyny #upstatenewyork #colonieny #518 #weightloss (at Black Sheep Project)

It doesn’t matter what anyone else in the room is doing. •• It doesn’t matter how many hours of sleep you got or how much you hurt. •• Was this YOUR best effort? •• Ask yourself that next time you complete a task or finish up at the gym. If the answer is no, then why? Is doing something with just a little effort worth it? ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #1stphorm #neversettle #duespaid #iam1stphorm #legionofboom #100to0 #instafit #instadaily #fitness #crossfit #wod #upstateny #colonieny #effort #hardwork #determination (at West Albany, New York)

Do you need pre workout? No. Do you need coffee? No. But for a lot of us we drink it everyday sometimes multiple times a day. •• I was over doing it big time with caffeine. To the point where I didn’t feel it working anymore and I was worn out all the time. •• Have I stopped having caffeine completely? No way that’s crazy. •• Instead of pre workout, and coffee multiple times a day, I’ve cut myself down to ONE source of caffeine a day, it’s called balance! •• On top of this, I’ve added @1stphorm Adrenal Restore to help restore my Adrenal function and optimize my energy levels. •• Shoot me a message with any questions!

For almost 2 years after I got out of the Marines, I struggled to find purpose again. . I jumped from job to job. I dropped out of school. I had no direction or passion. . I’m sharing this because I know I’m not the only one that’s gone through times like this. Or maybe you’re currently going through tough times right now. . Things don’t just fix themselves. You have to actively work on making things better yourself because no one will do it for you. . You’re not just going to discover your purpose or passion overnight. But when you find it, don’t let it go. Because I can tell you right now, that passion and that purpose is what makes life worth living. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #1stphorm #iam1stphorm #legionofboom #duespaid #100to0 #bethe1 #1stphormathletesearch #wedothework #crossfit #fitness #fitnessmotivation #instadaily #albanyny #capitaldistrict #BLACKSHEEPAthletics #defytheodds #teamBLACKSHEEP (at Black Sheep Project)

The odds are stacked against you. But what are you going to do about it? . Are you going to listen to the people doubting you? . Are you going to take the easy path and not go after your goals or passions? . All of this is up to you and only you. No one else can do it for you. . Defy The Odds. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #teamBLACKSHEEP #defytheodds #productoftheproject #blacksheepathletics #1stphorm #1stphormathletesearch #1stphormlegionnaire #duespaid #100to0 #bethe1 #wedothework #legionofboom #iam1stphorm #crossfit #fitness #fitnessmotivation #albanyny (at Black Sheep Project)

You can’t do it alone, trust me. . I’ve spent a large portion of my life thinking I can do it myself. . But you won’t reach your full potential without some support, but most importantly someone who keeps you in check. . Surround yourself with people that are going to push you to be better everyday! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖#1stphorm #duespaid #neversettle #legionofboom #100to0 #iam1stphorm #bethe1 #1stphormathletesearch #wedothework #crossfit #fitness #518 #defytheodds #teamBLACKSHEEP (at Black Sheep Project)

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt . ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #1stphorm #legionofboom #neversettle #iam1stphorm #duespaid #1stphormathletesearch #wedothework #bethe1 #crossfit #fitness #maninthearena #roosevelt #wod #albanyny (at Albany, New York)

Started today off with a 225lb snatch which I haven’t thrown around since probably April of 2017 when I got my hernia. . Definitely wasn’t very pretty. Definitely have more in the tank. But it’s a win at the end of the day. . It’s day 1 of 2018. We’ve got a long road ahead of us to make this year a great one. So take a step back and count each little win you have. . Eventually all those little wins will mean something. I’m fired up for this year guys. Hope you are too! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #1stphorm #neversettle #legionofboom #duespaid #iam1stphorm #bethe1 #wedothework #1stphormathletesearch #crossfit #snatch #wod #2018 #albanyny #colonieny (at Black Sheep Project)

Take a deep breath and get ready to work. . Tomorrow won’t be any different. . Next week or even next month won’t be either unless you do something about it. . If you want to truly improve or change things, it’s going to be hard work and determination that gets you there. A brand new year doesn’t just magically bring you anything. . Take your motivation and get fired up. It’s up to you to take this year and run with it. Don’t stop and don’t look back. . Get ready for failure, let downs, obstacles, success, improvement and wins. Because chances are you will see it all. Good luck. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #1stphorm #neversettle #duespaid #iam1stphorm #legionofboom #bethe1 #wedothework #1stphormathletesearch #crossfit #fitness #teamBLACKSHEEP #defytheodds #BLACKSHEEPAthletics #albanyny #newyear #wod (at Black Sheep Project)
