I hit the gym a few times a week, mostly doing compound lifts—squats, deadlifts, bench—because they build the raw power you need on set. Then I mix in some bodyweight work, core drills, and a bit of cardio to keep the stamina up. When I’m shooting, it’s all about staying in character, so I do a quick warm‑up on set to loosen up. Artists and athletes both run on a rhythm. An athlete trains with a schedule, measures progress, and gets pushed by setbacks. An artist does the same on a different plane—drafts, revisions, rejections, then a breakthrough. Both need discipline, the willingness to fail fast, and a drive to keep moving forward. So yeah, the grind is the same, just the tools differ.

Thanks, that’s a solid callout. I’ll give you a spotter on my next set, and you can hit me with your burpee routine if you’re willing to trade a little grace for some hard work. Let's keep that grind alive.
