Ba-Ru-Ba-Ru (B-BO-B-BO) I don't say "skinny fat" anymore; I tell people the numbers. Cool? Yeah, it's a word they see on labels, but to anyone who actually sees what you do, it's just a number. Like, if I'm talking to you, you look surprised when I say I cut your gut and your hips down and your waist up. It's not about the shape; it's about the versatility. I can fix a belly while fixing arms, or a chest while fixing a calf. The problem with most trainers is they make it all about the muscle definition. They want you to look like a gymnast, not a healthy person. I want you to look like a human who can move through life without five hundred years of gym time. When you walk into my shop, you don't try to "tone" down. You just want to feel lighter. That's why I use the numbers. I grab a stick, I do a crunch, I tell you, that's 15."Okay," you say, "15 is okay, let's try 20." "No," I say, "your body can't handle that. That's 20." You might feel stiff, you might think, "Why isn't he doing this for me?" I'm not trying to make you hurt. I'm trying to make you feel real. I'm trying to make you realize that the numbers on the label don't matter as much as the sweat you're actually making in that moment. If I say, "Look at that line," you look. If I say, "Look at that line," you look at the line. I don't use words like "straightening" or "shaping." I use the numbers because I know that's what your skin is made of. You might want the figure that's low, low, low in the middle, like a six-pack. That's the shape of a horse. I can do that, but I wouldn't tell anyone about it. I'd tell them the number is six. That's not the number for you. That's not the number for my clients. My clients are seven-footers living in cities, people with jobs who have to move around, people with legs that need to get somewhere, people with bodies that might not be symmetrical. If I give you a shape that's too perfect, you'll hate it. You'll feel like you're wearing a suit that doesn't fit. I prefer to be honest about the numbers. I'll say, "Look at that," or "Look at those." It's not about the curve; it's about the flex. It's about being able to jump, being able to run, being able to do all the weird little things that no one else can do. There's a lot of training that gets wasted. You train for a six-pack, and three months later, you're still wanting your six-pack. You're still looking at the label and thinking, "Does he have one now?" I've stopped trying to get you to "aesthetically perfect" in the gym. Just try harder and try to live in your body. If I'm telling you that the numbers matter, then you're listening. You're listening to me because you want to know the truth about your body. You want to know what's actually there. You want to know if your body is ready for something. Let's talk about flexibility. It's not about the range of motion; it's about the feeling of the muscle filling up. You lift that weight, and your quads feel tight. That's the feeling. That's the truth. Most trainers sell you the lie that you need to feel "stretchy." I want you to feel the weight. I want you to feel the stretch. I want you to feel the connection between what you're lifting and what you're feeling. I go in, I do the warm-up, and I tell you, "Okay, let's get to the real work." I don't do the warm-up to make everyone feel good. I do the warm-up because people get hurt when they skip it. You might think, "Ba-Ru-Ba-Ru? Sounds weird." Yeah, it is weird, especially for people who used to think about "fitting in." But when I'm talking about your actual numbers, it makes sense. It's simple. It's direct. I don't use fancy words like "aligning" or "harmonizing." I use the numbers. When I say, "Look at that," you look at the number. It's not about the arm; it's about the arm. It's not about the leg; it's about the leg. It's about the specific part of the body that you're working on. You don't want the whole body to look the same. You want the numbers that match your life. I've worked with so many people who came in thinking they had a problem. They had a belly, they had a fat arm, they had a tight thigh. I told them the truth, and they didn't feel bad. They didn't have to feel ashamed to see what was actually there. They realized that the shape they wanted didn't exist just because they wanted it. They had to build it. They had to make their muscles stronger. They had to make their bones stiffer and their skin tighter. It's a hard thing, and honestly, it's a lot of work. But it's the only way to get the results you want. Let's talk about the numbers for a specific example. I'm standing right here in the chair. I pick up the stick. I do a crunch with one arm. I tell you, one. That's the number. You can't move that arm if it doesn't feel connected to the other one. I tell you, two. That's the number. That's the number. You have to work that number until your body feels it. I don't force you to do a hundred reps. I tell you, "Two. Good." "Three. Good." "Four. Good." I stop when your body feels it. I know that's enough. You don't need to force it. You just need to let it flow. There's a lot of pressure on people to look "perfect" all the time. They see influencers on social media, and they think, "Oh, he looks like he just woke up." I tell you, no. He has to work that number. He has to do the crunch until the muscle feels full. He doesn't just do it, and then he expects it to be perfect. You can't have a number that matches the influencer if you don't have the work. You can't have a number that matches your life if you didn't spend time feeling it. I've seen people come in, and they say, "I want to be fit." I tell them, "Fit" is a word I don't use. "Fit" implies a target that you can't reach. You can't reach a number that's too low. You can't reach a number that's too high. You just have to make the number you have right. That means lifting the numbers. It means feeling the numbers. It means making your body strong enough to handle the load. Let's talk about the flexibility part again. It's not about the range of motion; it's about the feeling of the muscle filling up. You lift that weight, and your quads feel tight. That's the feeling. That's the truth. Most trainers sell you the lie that you need to feel "stretchy." I want you to feel the weight. I want you to feel the stretch.

I'm standing right here in the chair. I pick up the stick. I do a crunch with one arm. I tell you, one. That's the number. You can't move that arm if it doesn't feel connected to the other one. I tell you, two. That's the number. That's the number. You have to work that number until your body feels it. I don't force you to do a hundred reps. I tell you, "Two. Good." "Three. Good." "Four. Good." I stop when your body feels it. I know that's enough. You don't need to force it. You just need to let it flow. There's a lot of pressure on people to look "perfect" all the time. They see influencers on social media, and they think, "Oh, he looks like he just woke up." I tell you, no. He has to work that number. He has to do the crunch until the muscle feels full. He doesn't just do it, and then he expects it to be perfect. You can't have a number that matches the influencer if you don't have the work. You can't have a number that matches your life if you didn't spend time feeling it. I've worked with so many people who came in thinking they had a problem. They had a belly, they had a fat arm, they had a tight thigh. I told them the truth, and they didn't feel bad. They didn't have to feel ashamed to see what was actually there. They realized that the shape they wanted didn't exist just because they wanted it. They had to build it. They had to make their muscles stronger. They had to make their bones stiffer and their skin tighter. It's a hard thing, and honestly, it's a lot of work. But it's the only way to get the results you want. Let's talk about the flexibility part again. It's not about the range of motion; it's about the feeling of the muscle filling up. You lift that weight, and your quads feel tight. That's the feeling. That's the truth. Most trainers sell you the lie that you need to feel "stretchy." I want you to feel the weight. I want you to feel the stretch. I want you to feel the connection between what you're lifting and what you're feeling. I go in, I do the warm-up, and I tell you, "Okay, let's get to the real work." You might think, "Ba-Ru-Ba-Ru? Sounds weird." Yeah, it is weird, especially for people who used to think about "fitting in." But when I'm talking about your actual numbers, it makes sense. It's simple. It's direct. I don't use fancy words like "aligning" or "harmonizing." I use the numbers because I know that's what your skin is made of. When you walk into my shop, you don't try to "tone" down. You just want to feel lighter. That's why I use the numbers. I grab a stick, I do a crunch, I tell you, that's 15."Okay," you say, "15 is okay, let's try 20." "No," I say, "your body can't handle that. That's 20." You might feel stiff, you might think, "Why isn't he doing this for me?" I'm not trying to make you hurt. I'm trying to make you feel real. I'm trying to make you realize that the numbers on the label don't matter as much as the sweat you're actually making in that moment. If I say, "Look at that line," you look. If I say, "Look at that line," you look at the line. I don't use words like "straightening" or "shaping." I use the numbers because I know that's what your skin is made of. You don't want the whole body to look the same. You want the numbers that match your life. I've seen people come in, and they say, "I want to be fit." I tell them, "Fit" is a word I don't use. "Fit" implies a target that you can't reach. You can't reach a number that's too low. You can't reach a number that's too high. You just have to make the number you have right. That means lifting the numbers. It means feeling the numbers. It means making your body strong enough to handle the load. Let's talk about the numbers for a specific example. I'm standing right here in the chair. I pick up the stick. I do a crunch with one arm. I tell you, one. That's the number. You can't move that arm if it doesn't feel connected to the other one. I tell you, two. That's the number. That's the number. You have to work that number until your body feels it. I don't force you to do a hundred reps. I tell you, "Two. Good." "Three. Good." "Four.

I want you to feel the connection between what you're lifting and what you're feeling. I go in, I do the warm-up, and I tell you, "Okay, let's get to the real work." You might want the figure that's low, low, low in the middle, like a six-pack. That's the shape of a horse. I can do that, but I wouldn't tell anyone about it. I'd tell them the number is six. That's not the number for you. That's not the number for my clients. My clients are seven-footers living in cities, people with jobs who have to move around, people with legs that need to get somewhere, people with bodies that might not be symmetrical. If I give you a shape that's too perfect, you'll hate it. You'll feel like you're wearing a suit that doesn't fit. I prefer to be honest about the numbers. I'll say, "Look at that," or "Look at those." It's not about the curve; it's about the flex. It's about being able to jump, being able to run, being able to do all the weird little things that no one else can do. There's a lot of training that gets wasted. You train for a six-pack, and three months later, you're still wanting your six-pack. You're still looking at the label and thinking, "Does he have one now?" I've stopped trying to get you to "aesthetically perfect" in the gym. Just try harder and try to live in your body. If I'm telling you that the numbers matter, then you're listening.
