My typical post workout meal is a protein shake, 4-5 eggs, 2 rice cakes with peanut butter, and my BPN supplement stack.


I can’t go to the gym without chalk.


CrossFit is a way to challenge yourself every single day and to set goals and as well as to create new ones to further better yourself and others around you.
