- Why I love Coaching : When I first started, it took me 3 months of training every single day to get my first muscle up. I was doing 500 reps per day to get stronger and wouldn’t leave the gym until I got it all done. The moment I achieved my first muscle up was a moment of pure happiness, gratitude, and joy which was something I’ve never felt before. Every time one of my students learns a new skill, I get that same feeling I once did when I got my first muscle up. This is why I LOVE COACHING.❤️
- One thing I wish I knew when I started : I wish I knew that resting at least once or twice a week is not a bad thing and will actually make you stronger.
