Halo all, well I am so happy I dragged my ass to the #gym tonight. With the shitty day I had it helped really make for a great reason to go. With the right #motivation you can use the gym to make the bad day better. So I made it for my #backday/#bicepsday and wow this shitty day made for an awesome #workout. Great burn, good rhythm, and most of all the good kind of #soremuscles. Looking forward to some rest before I face the new day. Hope you all had a better day than me and a great week so far. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, well glad I made myself to go to the #gym. Taking a little more time to get back on the train of #consistency. But, I’m working myself towards that goal. So for today’s #workout I did #legday and #shouldersday and I can already tell the leg aspect was killer lol. But again glad I made it out to do this and to work myself. Made me feel #energized and above all made me feel #productive. Hope you all had as great a Saturday and a great weekend too. #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, well that was the first of my max #challengeweek and have to say I have mixed feelings. Was hoping for a little higher on some of these, but also felt a little underwhelmed with myself. I think I set the 3-5 reps too low as it left me feeling like I wasn’t trying. Even my active minutes by the end made me feel that. But still happy the #chestday and #tricepsday workout was complete. I included a picture of the weights for each exercise tonight and will do the same for rest of the week. Hope you’re all having a great start to it. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, today is a #milestone day for me. One that I will remember always. Today was the first time I was able to #squat my first #225squat…I’m giddy, I’m sore, and empowered. I’m feeling like I’m really on the path to what some might call a #titan. But again, this is only the first goal post on the journey. There’s many more to go and I’m eager to walk the path further. For now, I call todays #legday and #shouldersday a monumental success. Hope you all had a great weekend. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, well that’s first #workout of the week done. Made my first go of new more focused #circuitworkout for my training towards my next #225. Have to say felt good to try this. Went from seven sets to twelvee . After that I need to give my arms a rest. So stuck to #sledmill the rest of the workout and I’m feeling very accomplished with tonight’s work. Let’s see what the rest of the week entails for my training. Hope you’re all having a great start to the week. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, to say I crushed todays #workout would be an understatement. I tried on whim just as before with my squats I tried my first shot at a 225 #deadlift. And with that said…YES! I’m on top of the world today. That 2/3 of my latest major #fitness goal. One more to go for an end of year try. Which truth be told I am not entirely sure I will make. But… That doesn’t mean I’m not gonna damn well try. Squats? Success. Deadlift? Victory. Bench press…only a matter of time. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, well tonight I worked my body in the #gym. But also flexed my #democracy by voting beforehand. As for tonight’s #chestday/#tricepsday and I felt great to start this week’s challenges. I wanna start pushing myself harder because truth be told. I’ve met a few of my followers and people who watch my workouts. I’m inspired by your #efforts, your #progress, your #gains. You all make me wanna better myself and push myself to new levels. So I wanna say thank you all for making me wanna be a better me and for following me on my journey to that #betterme.

Halo all, well that’s my #halloween workout this year. Worked my #chestday and #tricepsday. The routine tonight was nothing short of killer, double digit sets and most of them double digit reps. Not going to lie got harder as it went on but man did it show that I worked hard by the end. Tomorrow is the start of #november and I’m going to be making special posts leading up to my 40th #birthday. Meantime I need rest before I’m back here tomorrow night. Hope you all had a very happy Halloween 🎃. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, well night 2 is complete. That would be the #backday and #bicepsday routine and as far as the #workout goes. Wasn’t as great a burn as last night but the point is I made it in tonight to work. The assisted pull-ups went okay, I need max weight assistance but the shoulder pain wasn’t a hinderance so that’s a plus. As for the rest of it, I made over double digits in sets and am now thinking about the next workout with Cardio day and how to make that one more energetic. Hope you’re all having a great week so far. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, I must say I feel amazing after this #legday #shouldersday. I was so tired by the end of it I felt I could’ve passed out on the gym mats lol. But more importantly I made great strides I felt. With my squats I made 11 sets and I’m damn sure I’ll feel that in the morning :-p. Going home for a post workout steak and then to relax before tomorrow. Hope you all had a great weekend. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

As I’m getting closer to my 40th birthday. I’ve been thinking about a lot of things. Loosing her…definitely one of my biggest #regrets in life. I am happy she found her husband…I just wish I could’ve been that husband. #missyou #exgf #loss #pastregrets #theonethatgotaway #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, well I can say this #legday and #shouldersday workout was amazing. I felt so happy with tonight’s results. I made sure with my squats to do two weights. One focusing on weight the other focusing on depth and reps. Hoping this leads to the really sore in the morning feels. One more day this week and that’s my cardio day which…blah lol. Hope you’re all having a great week. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, well that is the last #chestday and #tricepsday workout of age 39. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t struggle through this one. It got to the point I needed the smith machine to get my sets of benching in. But, I made it none the less. I’m going say something that shocks myself. I’m liking this feeling, the feeling that for once I can see change in myself. I feel smaller around my waistline and I can see it. I’m not so egotistical to say I’m #inshape or that I’m #physicallyfit. Far from it, but I’m going to say that with confidence. I’m finally on the #rightpath. Hope you all had a great start to your week. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, well tonight wasn’t as good (at least as far as #activeminutes) for the #workout. Still, did my best and made it in for #backday and #bicepsday. This now completes 2 out of 5 workouts this week and as it gets closer to Sundays birthday one. I find myself wondering what to do that day for the birthday one. Any suggestions? Mean time hope you all had a great Tuesday night. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Playing catch up, Thursday workout last week.
Halo all, well…it was a gruelling challenge. But I made it through #cardioday…in fact better than I thought I would. Last one at age 39 and well as annoying and as boring as they are. I’m not going to lie they do serve a purpose. I know that cardio is a very important part of the fitness journey. Just it’s soooo boring I have trouble keeping #interest in it. Hoping to come up with new ways as the new year draws closer. For now I end the last cardio day of age 39 with a pretty good run so to speak. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Playing catch up, Friday workout from last week.
Halo all, well that’s it…last #workout of age 39. Come Sunday i crossover into the next decade the big 40. Looking through Instagram, people at my gym, and those I know #irl. I can say that 40 and beyond can be great fitness years. There’s a lot of potential to unlock in my years ahead and I’m eager to face the challenges before me. With that my last workout was the #legday and #shouldersday routine and I think I put a damn good effort into this. I’m heading out tonight for another celebration with family and friends and I’ll check in with you all for the #birthdayworkout I do Sunday. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn is #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Playing catch up, my Sunday workout. Special birthday workout.
Halo all, well today was my special #workout. No specific type of workout day just my yearly tradition of my #birthday workout. Kinda the test the year older me and see what I can do a year older. Did a random exercises for each muscle group I could think of and have to say felt great after. Now tomorrow we go back to the usual routine, though I might start with swapping days now. I think cardio day will be on Monday nights now, get it over with and done for the week. Meantime hope you all had a great Sunday and weekend. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn is #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, have to say as much as I’m not a fan of #cardioday. It’s nice to have it out of the way for the week. Only thing I can say in the negative about the #workout today, was the #shadowboxing. I was so out of breath after just three sets of that. Plus pretty sure I’m not shuffling correctly. So I’m going to stick to in place jabbing next time. As for the rest is was a great #calorieburn. Looking forward to the next workout where I get back to my love of #weightlifting. Hope you all had a great day today. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn is #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, well thankfully was able to make the gym early on in the day. My #workout for today was my #chestday and #tricepsday day routine. Now I’m taking it easy as far as weight on benching. There is a part of me that feels weaker for it. But I’m letting the sensible part in the driver seat. Don’t let your ego kill your training. So with that I stuck to focus on reps and form. I think my form is slightly improving but I can say that I was starting to feel the strain in my shoulder as time went on. All in all though I felt great after this one. Keep you posted if I’m back tomorrow or Friday. Hope you’re all having a great week so far. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn is #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, well made it through. Not going to lie todays #workout was a difficult one. Between getting the effort to get to the gym and then keeping my head in the game during it. Well…really was a #difficulttask today don’t get me wrong glad I made it in for my #backday and #bicepsday. Just sad my mind wasn’t as in the zone as I wanted to be. Still I’m calling this a win as I made it in with this bad mindset.

Halo all, well it’s done again. That dreaded day known as #cardioday. I tried the agility ladder and holy shit that is a mountain I’m not ready climb lol. So I swapped it for the #stairmaster and I lasted…3 damn minutes 😣. Still made it and I tried to do a #cooldown set tonight and hey was nice to just be on the bike and move at a calmer pace. I think this is how my #cardiodays will go just adding medicine ball and sledmill in occasionally to spice it up. Thankfully back to the fun stuff my next #workout and then I’ll feel eager and happier in the #houseofgains.

Halo all, and we start #2023 with a great #workout. Made it in for my #backday and #bicepsday workout and was happy with myself for two reason. 1) I felt I did a workout that will hopefully set the tone for the year ahead. 2) kept up with the tradition of a workout on #newyearsday so feeling a little accomplished for the start. Going to now work on plans for the week on both the workout schedule and meal prep ideas. Hope you all had a great start to the year and more importantly and even better one ahead. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn is #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, well first #cardioday of the year is done. Feeling okay about it, one thing I was thinking about while in the gym tonight. Was new faces, the people who start their year off by joining the gym. Now, one thing I will say, is I know the statistics. A lot of people quit the #gym a month or two after joining. I think a little pay it forward goal should be set by not only me but everyone. If you see a new face in your gym, extend a hello, show them what an awesome and welcoming new place it can be. Make them want to stay and come back to the glorious #houseofgains, there were quite a few who did this for me when I had my timid days. Show people what a great place to grow the gym can be, maybe even make a new friend or two. Meantime hope you’re all having a great start to the year. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn is #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Okay folks, time to start actually making a real go at #newyearnewme. So for that I’ve been given daily challenges to not only get out of my #comfortzone but also try to grow as a person. It’ll change each day to something in different areas of my life. Trying new things for my #physical, #mental, #spiritual, #creative, #social, for examples. All areas of my life that need improvement. So todays challenge is “Speak your mind and Heart”. Learning to no longer be silent about things I’ve thought and felt, fear of rejection or fears of sounding like I’m stupid. So with that I’m going to spend the day speaking anything that I’ve been holding back on, so anything you wanna know or want me to say. Now the days to ask away. #challengeaccepted #changeyourthoughts #challengeyourself #spirituality #expandyourmind #goodenergy #mantra #goodvibes #positivity #spreadpositivity #friends #family #lovedones #bekind #becaring #bethechange #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong.

Halo all, I feel amazing to be back in the glorious #houseofgains. As stated earlier since last workout even though a week ago was a cardio day. It was too long without doing some strength training so I rocked #chestday and #tricepsday. I put a lot of effort in tonight to make up for the fact I missed this place too long. Now only thing I can say about tonight’s #workout that wasn’t great, was my single arm dumbbell incline. I could feel the struggle and as you can see it was definitely hard to do. Not sure why though, I mean it’s the same 50lb weight as I did on the flat chest press. But still made all the same. Looking forward to the workout tomorrow and getting back to my normal self there. Hope you’re all having a great week so far. #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn is #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Halo all, yay! I am done #cardioday. I’m going to admit the intro video I made hyped me up a bit. Now that seated #bike I did…not again that thing is not comfortable to me. So made up for it on #eliptical and the between set #walks. Not as many active minutes as yesterday but still a great #workout tonight. I leave you with the motivational word going through my head during my time tonight…HAMMER!!! #weightlossmotivation #strengthtraining #cardio #fatburn is #promisetomyself #swoleisthegoal #backupyourbullshit #gymmotivation #seeitthrough #betteringmyself #progressnotperfection #happyplace #feelingstronger #shaketheblues #findyourcenter #onehealthclubs #iamcanadian #canadastrongman #polarbearstrong #baldandstrong

Everyday I look at myself in the mirror and remember I’m the only one who can change me. Everyday I look to myself and realize nothing about me will change unless I put the effort in. So I’m getting ready to head out, doing the #gym, errands, then home to work on my book.
