24 May How To Build Momentum (In Strength And Life)

Posted at 11:03h in Mindset 2 Comments

Author Steven Pressfield writes about the destroyer of all things.

He calls it a nearly unstoppable force that prevents you from achieving what you want.

It is the enemy.

He calls this internal force “resistance” and says it will kill you, if you let it.

You want to start eating better, but you don’t.

You want to train more consistently, but you aren't.

You want to start that training program, but you haven’t.

Believe me, I’ve been guilty of this myself.

I want to write and publish more helpful articles, but I haven’t.

Why?

One reason is that damn internal force Steven Pressfield writes about, resistance.

16 Nov The Barbell Doesn’t Care About You

Posted at 12:53h in Mindset 0 Comments
The barbell doesn't care about you. Never did, never will. It's just a piece of iron. The big, bad, bold brother to the kettlebell and dumbbell. You can load the bar to your absolute limit, which is one of the things that makes it like nothing else. You can do things with it that you can't do with other strength, performance or muscle building tools. Arguably, it's the single greatest tool to improve your overall strength and health.

12 Jul How To Make Training Easy And Effortless (Part I)

Posted at 09:11h in RT Podcast Episodes 0 Comments
(#248) Let's call this a "pillar episode" here on the podcast as we dive into the psychology of your training. This is part 1 of a 2-part podcast series for all serious fitness enthusiasts. And coaches, you'll benefit from this, too. In this episode, we'll discuss the first critical step you must do to make your training easy and effortless (no I'm not kidding, but you have to listen to the context and how this works). If you struggle with motivation, drive, or even consistency, then this week's show (and next week's Part II) is a "must listen to." And, even if you're training is solid, I'd still highly recommend the actions in the next 2 episodes to keep you driving forward. This important exercise is very important with your training and fitness goals - in the short-term and long-term.

This is a bold and different kind of post, unlike anything I've ever written. But the message is important and it's the perfect time of year to write this. It's not meant to motivate or inspire, but to aspire (you'll see what I mean). This isn't motivational fluff, it's a shift in mindset.

Don't worry, I've got plenty of NEW "how to" articles, lifting tips, and training advice coming here soon (and a bunch of other cool new stuff too).

This is a new year and each of us has a clean slate right now. We're all excited about our training as the year begins, right?

But, what happens in a month from now? 2 months from now?

Posted at 22:13h in Mindset 2 Comments
Mental TrainingExercise technique, exercise selection, and optimal nutrition are all critical components in our training success. To get the results we want, we've got to do the the right things. Of course, we have to know what it is we want. Assuming we do, there is something that's so important to our success, yet it's not discussed nearly enough, in my opinion.
