From my house to yours Happy Hanukkah #hebrewhulk

How messed up is the world? I'm in jeans at the gym..... Enough said... #hebrewhulk

Many know the path I took but few know what it actually did for me. The physical benefits were only a part, the mental benefits changed my very being and who I was as a person. Why would I stop now when I've taken this much from it I want to see what else is there for me.... #hebrewhulk

Last training session, last cardio session all done. Go home finish packing up tomorrow calgary for the @alberta_open on sat. Big thanks to my coaches @mr.colindewolfe and @eckesdylan cant wait to see who we do boys, ill see you there.... And a massive shout out to @high_maintenance_fitness owner of @nourish_body_soul for sponsoring my meals during this prep. I'm gonna make you all proud #hebrewhulk

Absolute best part of my day, I love all my meals from @nourish_body_soul but this one is by far my favorite sirloin, mushrooms and potatoes How can you beat that while cutting for a show, its not diet food, its a gourmet steak dinner waiting in my fridge. I've been devouring this meal nightly on my prep and omg I wake up looking forward to it.... @high_maintenance_fitness #hebrewhulk #locallyowned #locallymade #medicinehat #medhat #supportlocal

People keep saying they can really see the weight loss in my face and I didnt really get it. .....Yeah now I get it, prep life and sunken cheeks are real lol. #prep #cpa @alberta_open #hebrewhulk

Under 3 weeks out, I don't have a ton of spare energy i keep my hood up when I train, im not the most talkative. I'm working im giving this everything I have to ensure I don't leave anything behind in the tank. This is my time in the shadows as I think of it im not showing off im not trying to be in the spotlight. I'm working I'm proving to myself I can still do this, I'm showing myself i dont make excuses,... I'm almost there #hebrewhulk

Gym at 930pm on a friday, I've been going all day and im just tired, I considered not comming but i got in my truck and headed over, sat in the tuck for 20 min got inside sat for 15, ok here I go. I look in the mirror and I've made so much progress its crazy what I've done to my body, but its not enough, for the goals I have I need to do more the pain is just starting, the mental fog will only get worse. I'm gonna be hungry im gonna be sore but im gonna keep going. People ask... me how I do it, the training the eating, the consistency, honestly im not sure..... I just keep pushing #hebrewhulk

I keep travel silverware with me, I keep my vitamin container in my lunch kit, then pre made portioned meals that fit my diet!! How can I go wrong... Those who fail to plan, plan to fail read that again.

Five and a half weeks, then it's all over. Thats how much time I have to prove how much work I've put in. Who am I trying to prove it to though? Myself, I need to prove to myself that my path is worth it and everything I've given up and push towards has been worth it.... Five and a half weeks...... you haven't seen anything yet. #hebrewhulk

Thank you @true.reflection.photography helping me recreate this photo of my uncle for my mom.

This is my city. I was born here, I was raised here. I left once to try my luck elsewhere, my time there and the things I experienced broke me down to nothing. I came back changed, hollow without a path, ... Here in the confines of my city I began to rebuild, I became someone new, learned things I didn't know I wanted too, found out how flimsy my limits were. I became a new version of myself a better version, someone I wanted to be. I learned what I was made of. Here in this city The HebrewHulk was born Here in this city I will chase my dreams Here in this city I am an home. #hebrewhulk #personaltrainer #localbusiness #medhat #supportlocal

This should have been posted a while ago, my long time client @toras.brooksfootball getting under a 315 squat for 6 and walking away from it like a warm-up. This kid has a level of potential that I can't wait to see him live up too. @mccoyeaglebuttecolts is lucky to have a beast like this on their side. If you want help reaching your potential lets sit down for a consult hebrewhulkfitness.com online training available too #hebrewhulk #hebrewhulkfitness

My friday night at the bars. #hebrewhulk

Sometimes in training you learn a new move and you think ur just killing it with form and weight. Then suddenly you see someone you respect on social media do the same move but with an amount of weight you can't comprehend. This happened to me when I saw my friend @andrewcoatesfitness (if you dont follow him you should) perform the Hatfield Bulgarian squat.... He made what was about 3 or 4 times the weight i used look easy. this leads the average person with 2 choices. 1. Get discouraged thinking you'll never manage that and try to ignore it and never excell. 2. Realize the human potential of that movement and hope to some day reach a similar level down a long road. there thats 2....... Now if ur still reading we can talk about the 3rd hidden option. 3. Look into yourself and your training and see if you are letting yourself be limited by your mental weakness and fear, and if you are you need to step outside this fear and push your limits in order to make the progress you want. Thats what i did today, i decided to stop thinking of the weight as heavy and see how far I can push, im not even close to matching my friends weight but I DOUBLED the amount I use for this move for the same amount of reps I did last week. Not because I suddenly got stronger but because I changed my thinking. #hebrewhulk #mentaltoughness @officialgasp @gymstar.ca @gymstarproshop

Trying something new I picked up from @reflexmedicinehat #hebrewhulk

perspective is everything, from loving dog to, feed me please #hebrewhulk #dogsofinstagram #doglife #dog #doglovers #pomeraniansofinstagram #pomeranian @ Medicine Hat, Alberta

Endure... the word has been stuck in my head for a while now. People ask me- How I can eat the same food every day, How can take my body through the... ringer multiple times a day, How keep going back for more. I can Endure Because my purpose is clear and my goal is set. I can suffer day in day out patiently, whether my head is in it or not. I can Endure When I want to give up I WILL ENDURE #hebrewhulk

Some days you win and some you loose, shoulder was bugging me so I put on my #slingshot @marksmellybell @mbslingshot and tried to go a bit heavier to offset the assistance and I hit my limit. #hebrewhulk

A little Sunday leg day, calves are looking pretty decent, still got time to improve #hebrewhulk

*insert Friday motivational comment to make you want to have an active healthy mkng weekend.....i need a nap lol" #hebrewhulk

Clarification So after my post yesterday, many people were worried I had lost of ton of weight and my heath was failing. NOT THE CASE. The photk was taken at a very bad angle and I looked very small in it. THE TRUTH: I'm still sitting around 260 lbs, just starting my cut, feeling ans looking very large. So no im not dying and im very healthy, but thank you for your concern.... #hebrewhulk #cpa #cutting #bodybuilder #bodybuilding #swole #healthy @ Back Alley Fitness

Is it a good workout when someone actually stops to ask you if ur ok, cause you literally look like you might be dying? #hebrewhulk #bodybuilder #cpa @alberta_open #cleaneating #legday

The cost of pushing my body to its full limit. Still.no slowing down @ryan_comeau_dc keeps me moving and always puts me back together. #hebrewhulk

I may not be the biggest, or the strongest on stage, but you can bet ur ass im not gonna be leaving anything behind. This is my focus right now. #hebrewhulk

Time for some diet changes. #realtalk So my digestion hasn't exactly been where I want it to be especially not heading into my competition. I have some pretty good ideas as to why so its time to change up my diet and find the cause. Time to get back to some of the foods I use to eat.... #nutrition #cleaneating #eatclean #eatcleantraindirty #cpa #albertaopen #hebrewhulk

So a couple weeks ago our local #rodeoqueen told me i had small legs. So i challenged @rayellesmith to a little flex off, who do you think won?? She might have me beat. #hebrewhulk #flexoff #legday #legdayselfie #swole #flex #quads

Week 2 has started, firsy workout done and wow do i need a haircut. Dressed of course in gear from @gymstar.ca for all of your gym needs dont forget to use code HEBREWHULK10 to get yourself some killer clothes to lift in... #hebrewhulk

Told my coach i was ready to step up my training and put everything into this. He didnt disapoint. @mr.colindewolfe #hebrewhulk

Just over 19 weeks and I have so much work to do @alberta_open @canadianphysiquealliance #hebrewhulk

Decline neutral chest press FTW #HEBREWHULK

so much growth needed such a long way to go. But ill keep pushing just you watch.

Leg day selfie #hebrewhulk

I want every rep to mean something to me, i want the concentric and the eccentric movements to mean something to me. Its not about moving the weights its about activating the mucle through every rep. Never train out of habit, train to challenge yourself and if you want progress always challenge your limits.... #hebrewhulk

feeling small, fat and weak so much work todo, every day i need to improve. #hebrewhulk

waiting for me to come home from the gym #HEBREWHULK

21 weeks to go time to get back to work #cpa #albertaopen @alberta_open @canadianphysiquealliance #hebrewhulk

We now return to your regularly schedule training. #hebrewhulk

So glad to be able to see @ryan_comeau_dc again at the @kineticcentre my knee has been bothering me for over a month now so glad to be able to get it healed up now. Hes definately one of the greatest secrets to how i get through injury and keep my body working.

One of my training clients reaching for the stars and a hell of a future, congrats bud!
