You and I are going to drink a lot of coffee together. Like, borderline dangerous amounts of coffee.
So, first things first. Pour yourself a mug and I’ll introduce myself real quick.
My name’s Jordan - but everyone calls me “J” - and I’m a 27th degree black belt in chugging coffee.
I’m also strength & nutrition coach, I hold several powerlifting world records, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have my writing featured in a variety of outlets like CNN, the Huffington Post, and Schwarzenegger.com.
But listen.
This channel isn’t for fame, publicity, cash, props, fist bumps, likes, pings, pows or whatever else there is.
It’s a place where you and I can chat.
I’ll never sugar coat, lie, or beat around the bush. I’ll tell you everything exactly as I see it. Some stuff you might like. Others you might not.
And that’s totally cool.
Either way, my goal here is to create a discussion. A place where you and I can get together, exchange ideas, and motivate each other to be better every day.
Like I said, we’re gonna drink a lot of coffee together - borderline dangerous amounts - but I’m excited. Because there aren’t too many online communities in which the sole purpose is to inspire and motivate one another.
And that’s exactly what you and I are going to do here.
To your success,
-J

*My Binge Eating Story Cont...*
Most people don’t know this about me but I used to struggle with binge eating. Anorexia, too. But especially binge eating disorder.
It started with wrestling. From 8-18 wrestling was my life. My world.
I remember in middle school learning about “sucking ice” from the high schoolers. “It’s when you need to make weight & can’t eat or drink anything so you suck on ice to quench your thirst,” they said.
It made no sense to me. Why would anyone not eat or drink? I told my mom about it while she was cooking dinner & she spun around so fast I thought she burned herself. “Promise me you’ll never do that,” she said. “Promise me.” I promised.
Less than a year later I broke that promise.
Freshman year I beat a junior for the varsity spot & was the starter at 103lbs. I didn’t actually weigh 103, though. I weighed 112. Which meant 1-2x/week, every week, I would cut from 112 to 103 to make weight for competition. I’d suck ice. Sleep in trash bags. Spit in water bottles. Skip class to run stairs for hours. Barely eat for days. Anything and everything. Whatever I had to do to make weight. Because it wasn’t just about me anymore, it was also for my team.
From Freshman year & the subsequent 4+ years food was my obsession. My weight dictated my happiness. My life revolved around doing anything & everything to keep my weight as low as possible.
Why tell you this? I guess because part of me wonders if you’re going through it, too. Right now. Or something similar. And if you are, I know how lonely it can be. How Scary. How hard it is to know you’re hurting yourself but, at the same time, not be able to control it.
I wish I had an answer for you. A singular solution to solve it. But I don’t. And I’m sorry for that.
But I do have something else. Belief. I believe in you. And I’m here for you. And whatever you’re going through right now, you will beat it. You will win. You will come out on top. I promise. The key is to recognize it and take action to stop it. Get help. It’s not a sign of weakness. It’s a shield of strength. You can do it. I promise. Just take the first step. Now.
