For a long time, training was the only thing that mattered. Everything I did in and out of the gym was designed to make me stronger. Those days do not exist any more. I am an adult, have kids, and a business to run.  My life no longer fuels my training. Instead, training fuels my life. But, that doesn’t mean I do not train hard, have goals, or value training any less. I still want to be jacked, lean, athletic, and get after it 3-5 times a week. I still want to be strong, look good, and get my metcon fix. Now, I just have to be more efficient, effective, and intelligent in how I lift weight. EMOM Aesthetics is the answer. This is the first program, since I found CrossFit, that has radically shifted my enjoyment and results in the gym. The program fits my life, builds muscle, creates intensity that mimics metcons without the beatdown, and keeps my strength numbers near lifetime PR’s.   Now, EMOM Aesthetics can be yours.   Barbell Shrugged’s "EMOM Aesthetics Bundle" is the most efficient, effective way to build

His love for fitness started off early in life developing a love for soccer and team sports.
