The Voice in Your Head. Taming the Inner Critic with MS.

There’s a war going on inside my head—and it’s not some poetic metaphor. It’s a daily grind, a real, relentless battle between the man I fight to be and the voice that says I’m not enough.

Training in the Dark. How I Stay Consistent When Motivation’s Gone.

There’s a silence that hits right before the alarm goes off. It’s the kind of silence where your body whispers Don’t. The bed feels heavier. The MS fatigue lingers like smoke in your lungs.

The One Thing MS Can’t Take From Me.

Training Through a Flare. What I Do When MS Hits Hard.

There’s tough—and there’s MS flare tough. It’s the kind of fatigue that feels like you’ve been hit by a truck, the brain fog that makes simple decisions feel like mental marathons, and a body that suddenly stops responding the way it should.

The Role of Support. Asking for Help Without Shame & Why Real Strength Isn’t Always About Doing It Alone.

There’s this image burned into our heads—The lone wolf. The man who handles his pain in silence. Who carries the weight of the world without flinching. Who never asks for help because that’s not “what real men do”. Yeah…that image? It’s bullshit. When you’re living with MS—or any serious challenge—that lone wolf mentality will eat Continue reading

Why I Embrace Pain. It’s the Sharpest Tool I Own.

Most people run form pain. I’ve learned to walk straight into it. Because the truth is—pain isn’t just part of this life with MS…it is the life. And if you don’t learn to work with it, respect it, even sharpen yourself against it—it’ll break you. I’ve been there. Those nights where it feels like electricity Continue reading

Lessons from Failing. Why I’m Grateful for Every Loss.

I’ve failed more times than I can count. In the gym. In the ring. At work. As a father, a partner, a man. And yeah—I’ve failed with MS, too. I’ve pushed too hard. I’ve ignored the signs.

Long-Term Training with MS. How I build Strength, Stay Resilient, and Keep Moving No Matter What.

When you’re living with MS, forget about the 30-challenge, 12-week transformations, or chasing one-time personal records. This shit is a lifetime fight.

How I structure My Training Cycles with MS. Phases, Progression & Plateaus.

I’ve always been drawn to toughness. The sweat, the grind, the bruised knuckles, and that raw, animal instinct you tap into under a loaded barbell or in the ring. Nack in the day, I believed in one rule—go harder, lift heavier, outwork everybody. No excuses, no days off. Pains was a badge of honor. Then Continue reading
