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

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.

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)

(#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.

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).

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?
