jakejacob01 Flashback Friday to one of my favorite exercises. Honestly learning this helped me transition my strength and form to another level. Why? Because it sucks and it’s hard. Starting out on really light weight I worked to isolate my posterior deltoids, not a motion that comes naturally.

It’s been brought to my attention that a have quite a few exercises in this position, biceps, posterior deltoid flys, bent over rows (without the bench). My shoulder is particularly prone to injury, having a solid bench to stabilize me and stop me from counterproductively swinging, and dropping weight, allows me to isolate the muscle group better instead of relying on going through motions and chance.

It took me a few months to finally get comfortable with this particular exercise, a lot of practice, sometimes I’m a slow learner. I still look around the gym to steal my next favorite workout. I’ve got to keep it interesting and safe if I want to keep this up for another 40-50 years.

jakejacob01 Came across this one reminiscing and chatting with friends a few days ago. We’d been talking about weight loss and weight gain, lifting, and everything in between. I mentioned I’d worked for about a year to put on 30 lbs heavier than my normal body weight and traveled through time a bit looking at the pictures.

Post workout, pumped, veins popping. This was taken 18 months ago and it’s still a little crazy to look back and recognize that guy. I was on a mission to finally do an official bulk something I’d never allowed myself to do. Everyone has their body struggles and insecurities. Mine had always been my inability to put on weight, or keep on weight. To accomplish it I had to push myself in ways I’d never done before. I changed all my eating habits and stopped endurance activities. I ate until my stomach was always 3/4 full, anything I could find. Needless the say I didn’t enjoy it.

Honestly it was like living in a new body. And I tolerated it because I was working towards a goal. I’m glad I did it because it gave me a new perspective, goals to achieve, and forced me to buy a much needed new wardrobe. Then I made the conscious choice to drop my weight back down. Honestly I can say I am happy at both but one takes a lot more work than the other.

As the new year approaches I am working on my potential plans and goals. I’m still 10 lbs down from when I got sick but I’m feeling happy and healthy where I’m at. Although I always enjoy new exercises and pushing myself physically I think I’ll focus my efforts on areas I’ve never considered before, or areas that my usual goals have always pushed aside. Overall I’ve grown forward from my perpetually, never ending, aspirations of self improvement. Now I’m moving towards seeing myself as I am, loving myself for who I am, and finding happiness in the present, my own skin, my life, my ups and downs, the reality I’m in now.

jakejacob01 Authenticity, this year has been filled with ugly cries and growth, some happy and unique, others painful and unwanted.

This past holiday I was fortunate enough to revisit my biological family. For me it was years in the making. I’d been living as a self-labeled victim too long and I worked hard over the years to come to peace with my past. I learned relationships cannot be forced, and to allow others to manifest who they want to be. Then my onus is to decide what level of intimacy to allow in my life. In short, love people for who they are, and don’t be frustrated for what I perceive they are not. Juvenile, but a lesson I admittedly struggled with for years.

As I rang the doorbell to my childhood home a fleeting moment of anxiety quickly vanished as I saw the faces of my nieces and nephews who I love more than anything. I took a few minutes to explore the rooms and my former life with them. On the wall hung a portrait of me from 15 years ago with a mop of unkept hair and a goofy smile. It had been 11 years since I’d been back.

Returning was a necessary step for me. I had worked through the pain and frustrations of the past from when I came out. Most important I am finally in a place that I am comfortable with who I am, not thirsting for validation or acceptance from the family I grew up with. Without the pressure of expectations I was able to see the beautiful people each of my family members had become. I felt nothing but compassion and acceptance for everything they are.

As the weekend came to a close I looked back in gratitude as a chapter of my life closes behind me making room for a future that I can create any way I choose. I love my family for exactly who they are. I know I won’t always have this clear insight. Even yesterday I had an ugly cry, but life isn’t meant to be joyous all the time. I am content building my future family, whatever it may look like, and all of this is possible because I am first content being who I am, even as a family of one (myself), so any happiness I have in addition is simply additive to the joy and happiness I already feel in my life. . #growth #movingforward #family #instagay #comingout #loveyourself #scruff

jakejacob01 Throwback to back-country Iceland. One of my favorite trips.

One of the most valuable changes I made this past year was finally having time to travel more. Previously with school and training and demanding hours I was always putting off seeing the world. I had a trip here and there but I had perfectly practiced being a homebody for most of my life.

This year I even traveled back to places I knew, places I grew up visiting, and even places I grew up. Going back with new purpose and new people completely changed the experience for me. I grew up in Utah, and a friend asked how it felt going back, and honestly it feels like exactly what it is today. I have memories but I see the place and the people without nostalgia. I see it as new adventure to experience, to be present in.

My New Years resolution two years ago was focused on connecting, to stop visiting places and to visit people. I feel like that’s no longer a goal but a rule. As I’m formulating my goals for next year I will certainly focus one around allowing myself to travel to at least one place I’ve never been, or to experience a place I already know in a different way, hopefully with friends and family to share with it. I will also make it a point to get to know my current city better, to see it in a new light and to enjoy new experiences.

I want to especially thank the people and groups who invited me along on their adventures, new experiences, new countries. I have fallen in love with almost every new place I’ve been. Whether in my own home town or abroad the works is full of amazing adventures.

jakejacob01 Throwback to this beautiful lake. “Ljótipollur is an explosion crater and crater lake in the south Highlands. Its name means ‘Ugly Puddle’, despite the fact it is an incredibly beautiful site. It is part of the Veiðavötn volcanic area.”

I can’t say hiking is my forte, I’ve been known to call them death marches, but this is probably one of the most unique and beautiful sights I’ve come across. @runarrafn played a joke on me when the hike started saying it would take about an hour, so imagine my surprise when a few minutes passed, rounding the top of a hill to see that this isolated body of vibrant colors was at my feet.

The dirt was unlike anything I’d felt before, loose and crumbling with every step. A picture doesn’t do it justice but I have a goal of spending a few minutes to capture memories, and I’m so glad I did.

Often people say the current generation is obsessed with selfies and pictures. I’m not really one to defend that, but I do see the value of taking a few minutes to capture a special moment in time. Not every moment is “special” or as it says in Into The Woods, “But if life were only moments then we’d never know we had one.”

I’ve taken the special moments from this year and put them as my screensaver on my Television, and I add significant pictures as I have significant moments. What it’s taught me is how much adventure can happen in such a short period of time, and how quickly moments can get lost in memories. I forget how fortunate I am to have the friends and life I have.

My ongoing life album continues to build as I progress. With social media allowing everyone to throw their life and best self into the ether of the world I appreciate my own personal collection of memories reserved for myself and those who grace my home. I love thinking what I’m going to do or experience next that will be an addition to a year of memories I will never forget.

jakejacob01 During a particularly difficult time in my life a loved one sent this to me. I don’t know who the original creator of this concept is but whoever it is thank you.

Grief can come from many forms and from many causes, relationships, death, pets, romance, but is usually tied with loss of something that was valued, even something intangible like a hope, wish, or possibility lost.

I’ve had my share of ups in downs in life, and I know grief well. Grief is part of existence. It’s a valid emotion and because if that it deserves to be acknowledged. Initially grief seems overwhelming and constant. In my experience I have pushed through believing times would get easier, and in my experience they do. The hard part for me is sometimes those same feelings of grief come out of nowhere when I thought I had “gotten over it” “moved on” “worked through it.“ Sometimes it’s a trigger, others it’s just a random wave of memories and I am brought back to the same grief I felt before. Suddenly I’m crying for no reason in my car with the pain and loss back in my mind.

Feelings resurfacing after a period of time can be frustrating but understanding how grief functions for me has helped me acknowledge my emotion, then let it pass. I’ve learned that just because I feel the grief again doesn’t mean I’m starting over, or haven’t worked through things, it means I am feeling loss for a moment and it will pass.

The holiday season is a wonderful time of togetherness and memories. It can also be a trying time to balance memories and grief from the past. I don’t claim to have the correct answers or that this is a universal concept, but it helps me. Hopefully this little explanation that was shared with me years ago will help someone out there know that it will get better.

jakejacob01 I’ve been practicing this exercise for the past 5 years. I have good days with it and then bad days. Some days it clicks without thinking. Other days I overanalyze and overcompensate to my own detriment. Today is not a great day, obviously I’m not balancing well, but it’s where I’m at today.

When I first started I had almost no experience. To be safe I practiced balancing with my feet next to the wall for a year without significant improvement. Finally I realized if I wanted to improve and learn, I had to stop doing the same thing over and over. I had to stop fearing failure. I had to let myself take a chance and fall.

Feeling brave one day I pulled the weights to the middle of the floor, no walls, no safe space, just me and my own balance. I spent a good 30 minutes falling backward hard on my back. It was embarrassing, people watching me fail, my own pride for excellence hurt the worst, but I kept going. In the process I learned something I never intended: how to fall safely and not get hurt. I learned that practicing with the wall made me good at balancing with the wall, but I had to completely relearn how to do it independently. The wall was a good step to make sure I had the strength, but it was my biggest limiting factor. With both experiences I eventually learned to pull the weights far from the wall, that way it lets me fall to absolute failure but I still don’t have to end up on my back.

So today isn’t my best performance or best balance or best number of reps. I could be discouraged that I’ve reverted back in my ability, or I can just recognize that today is a day of learning and experience, not of perfect form. Tomorrow will be better but not if I don’t push through the days when everything doesn’t go perfectly as planned.

The phrase “perfect practice makes perfect” comes to mind. I believe that to an extent, but I don’t subscribe to the idea of perfection. I subscribe to finding happiness in the journey, to living my life and sometimes falling flat on my back. Every failure and success I’ve had has made me into who I am, and exactly who I want to be today.

He is also way over-developed now almost to the point where I suspect he has body dysmorphia. I’m sure when he looks in the mirror, he sees that young Mormon skinny fag from years ago or whatever.

I think Jake was decent looking years ago.

The face doesn’t lie though.

jakejacob01 A moment of silence and calm after a weekend windstorm of shopping, planning, assessments, and adjustments, resulting in some rough moments and some incredibly joyful experiences. My greatest therapist: the gym.

Throughout this weekend I found myself in the company of and communicating with some amazing people. Knowing my history I am not accustom to relying on others for my own mental and physical strength. If I’m honest with myself having a “family” or community of close individuals is always something I’m suspiciously/hopefully searching for, but I am most comfortable immediately defaulting back to self-reliance. In fact I use to pride myself on being independent, driven, and tenacious. Turns out like everything in life, there is a balance.

Over the weekend while I was walking along with a friend who was helping me run errands I unwittingly kept apologizing for the time and emotional energy I assumed I was taxing from him. Apparently, and naturally, the guilt of someone spending their time on me creates an exacerbated apologetic state. In response my friend finally stopped me, looked me in my eyes and said, “Jake, THIS is what friends do.” It gave me pause.

The relationships I have developed through the years are some of the most important parts of my life. For all of the independence and self-sufficiency I pride in myself, my joy and happiness is exponentially increased because I have special and select loved ones to share my life with. At least for me this is both comforting and terrifying. A beautiful part of relationships is allowing for that vulnerability. When I love someone I take risks, give my time and resources, reach out, serve without being asked or expected. In short, my actions say far more than any words. An even harder part of relationships is allowing others to do that for me.

I love and appreciate the sincere and beautiful people in my life who have patiently pushed through the arrogance of my independence, continually showing up to be by my side, to laugh with me, cry with me, and even if it’s simply to be next to me. I am a better person because of you.

jakejacob01 Deep thoughts while parked in my car. I can’t say I grew up with an understanding of self care and therapy. I learned about it mostly indirectly through my medical training. The few times I’ve participated have been due to severely trying times in my life.

About a month ago I restarted my own therapy, counseling, whatever it’s called nowadays. Sometimes the stars align, unfortunately my last therapist was less than a good fit and It had been a while.

This time my reasoning for restarting wasn’t anything huge. I wasn’t particularly depressed, even though I’ve been depressed in the past. I didn’t really have specific things I wanted to work on. For a few weeks I’d been looking back at my year and saw that there had been a lot of changes, pain, growth, happiness, a lot of intentional and unintentional self evolution. I felt like a new person, and I thought it may be a good idea to have an expert with training help me take a close look at myself and my life.

For my first session I wasn’t sure what I would talk about, but within an hour emotions, trauma, happiness, everything started pouring out of my mouth. It was good to get their perspective and it was also good to hear myself say many things out loud.

For now I’m happy continuing my journey with this help and outside perspective. I’m grateful for what I’m learning about myself, my relationships, my life. I’m grateful to put a refocused lens on my goals and happiness. I’m grateful that I’m not only trying to be my best self, but that I can see my current self in a better light. I’m grateful for the security of knowing I’m not navigating this sometimes tumultuous life without help.

J writes about friends like someone who has never had an actual friend. He has plenty of instaho connections, but nothing substantial.

If you don't like it just look at the pics and swipe left and move on. But Wes in the vid above put his finger on it. It utterly galls you guys that he put hard work and dedication into his schooling, then job and his bodybuilding AND he just keeps reaping the rewards. The reason it galls you is that you never once took the hard road of work, sacrifice, blood-sweat & tears to accomplish anything your miserable petty lives.

I took a quick look at those Insta pics and didn't see anything truly interesting. The guys are ok looking, not exactly handsome, but it's clear they spend hours and hours at gym every week. Or are you making fun of them? Or is this just another group of women ooh ahh'ing gay men DL seems to attract here?

Jake and the two hangers on trying to get followers off of him shirtless, eating ham. I have a friend who is like a blip on the influencer scene and she is annoying as fuck having to photograph everything before we can sit and relax. I could not even imagine this life.

I wonder how poor Ted must be feeling seeing those xmas "love" posts Jake made. A year ago Ted was in that apartment doing the gingerbread house competition and posing nude. Just a few months later in 2019 he went on that cruise along with Jake and Runar (first time we saw/heard of him) sharing a room with only 2 beds. Maybe Jake and Ted had already split by the time of the cruise but it was too late for a refund? That was weird. Ted hasn't posted if he's been dating anyone since the breakup while Jake has seen Runar multiple times since the cruise and of course they're spending the holidays together. ouch

runarrafn My amazing grandmother passed away Christmas Day. I was lucky that I got to spend the last couple of years really getting to know her and her life story. She was fearleass in her approach to life and filled it with adventures that most women of her generation would never have dreamed of. I will always admire and look up to her.

He also said it feels weird not being home but his grandmother would not have wanted him to change his plans. He's leaving KC and flying out LA now to meet other people.

Yes, R250, that doesn’t seem that out if the norm for a lot of gay guys in their 20s and 30s (and older, as well). When they were younger, a fair number of gays eschewed anything having to do with sports. They were either too skinny, or overweight, or bullied, or whatever. But, as adults they realized they could build big, muscular bodies away from the confines of high school athletics. And they have, by whatever means necessary. It gives them a degree of confidence they lacked when younger, and gives them entree to a lot of sex with hot boys, because among that group, “no pecs means no sex.” If they were part of those who were shut out and excluded by the cool, hot jocks, well, they can now be the ones doing the excluding. Yet another part of the delayed gay adolescence.

My lesson this year has been that my life and happiness is defined by my focus. I can choose to perseverate on the problems, negativity, anxiety, stress, missing out, victimization. All distractions I’ve become accustomed to making priorities. All the while I’m ignoring the love and happiness that surrounds me. Life may not be what I envisioned, and holding onto those inevitable failures only keeps me from progressing. I’m happy to finally let go and embrace the beautiful present and unknown future.

rc_ifbb We are now in 2020! It’s a new year and a new decade. This is a perfect opportunity for a better you. My Team and I at Concentric Consulting will design an entire diet, workout program, cardio schedule and supplement recommendations to achieve your fitness goals. We work with hundreds of models, athletes, bodybuilders, CrossFiters, vegans, vegetarians, triathletes, marathoners, and every day folks. There are many coaches that tout that they know what they are doing. They do not. And this is your health. So ask them questions. Have they ever competed? Been an athlete? How many years of nutrition training do they have? Do they design diets for different kinds of people? How many clients do they have? Do they know how to cater to someone with Celiac’s, IBS or someone who is diabetic? If they don’t, then run. This is an investment in your time, health and future. I’m an IFBB Pro and hire only Assistant Coaches who have competed so know what it takes to be there to not only answer questions, but to support you emotionally. They have been through it all. We work in conjunction with your doctors and have a psychologist on call to assist clients with mental health issues related to body image.

Starting this year, we are happy to announce we will offer an opportunity for our clients to genetic test to determine the right food types to prevent adverse reactions, sleepiness, and inflammation. We are available 24/7 to answer questions, support you, and assist with your training while you travel, make recommendations on what to do when you eat out, and every other contingency you can think of. When you come to Concentric, you are a part of a family of like-minded individuals looking to better their lives, gain more confidence, and establish healthy body image. Let’s make this a good year for all of us. Please send me a DM so that we can forward information. We are excited at the opportunity to start this transformative journey with you! #concentric #concentricconsulting #bodybuilding #fit #fitness #fitfam #aesthetics #health #life #love #instagood

I'm surprised the LA group is not as hot as I would have expected. It seems like the guys are smoking hot in all these fly over cities, but in the LA group shot, Jake and Runer are the standouts. The one thing Jake does have is that big juicy cock - thank you LGSP. He always has the best package of the bunch and is a top which will give him some longevity. I don't get why someone like that attorney, especially with all these major accolades he has, would want instaho status. Being a hot attorney under 40 with some major credibility seems so much more above the fray.
