Train fast and furious.

Intensity is fundamental to progression. It can be learned and takes time to cultibate and master. But if you do something with intensity for long enough, great things will happen.

You might be feeling in a dip right now. Many people are. BUT dust yourself off, get out in the cold and do something, ANYTHING today. If you follow us you will know by now conditions are always perfect. We still have some FREE sessions available. Link in bio, work in pairs, get better than ever.

Focus on trajectory.

The snail is still moving forward. Try to focus less on the outcome or end goal and more on the process. Focus on the trajectory of where you are going too, not where you currently are. If you can do this then you allow yourself to be happy at any time. You remove remoseful thoughts and lazer in on what and why. The how is easy - Its on the field waiting for you.

Conditions are always perfect.

Sign up for 3 FREE sessions - We still at it during lockdown. We cannot wait to do thids again.

Conditions are always perfect.

Some old footage from when we first started to grow this community.

We will be back out there soon. We were here, outside before lockdown, We will continue to do what we can outside dureing lockdown, and when it all ends, I can gurantee you we will be back out there the second we can. Because thats what we do.

Then, now, and moving forward, conditions are always perfect. Who's with me?

Slight issue with our equipment manufacturer but it is all in hand. Still good to see many of you get out there on the and getting it done. Keep your eyes peeled for more work to be done this week.

Roll on Monday. We are hoping for snow. Conditions are always perfect.

Conditions are always perfect.

What do you think this weather does to you? Does it weaken or strengthen ? You know the answer. Get out there today. It couldn’t be more perfect. Don’t you agree?

You're in autopilot most of the time. Most of the time that's a good thing.

You cannot go through life constantly analysing choices or information. It's simply too much for the human brain to handle. BUT, you do have to look a little deeper at the barriers stopping you from training right now. Because, there probably self imposed.

If you'r looking from afar but thinking of reasons why not, try and flip the situation on its head and think why not? Step outside yourself and have an honest conversation. Yes it is a time of massive change, but that doesn't need to be a bad thing. Get your head right and get outside, on the field. It only takes a deep breath and a first step. There are no barriers here, only the ones you perceive for yourself. Take them down.

Full of ideas? Devoid of action?

It's easy to make it hard. Keep the Strength& 30 second rule in the forefront of your mind. If it takes more than 30 seconds to understand it, its probably too complicated.

Runs, carries, simple lifts. Big bang for buck stuff means efficiency and effectiveness in equal measure. Strength& conditioning can be the same. Keep it simple, but never easy. Some of the lowest skill movements have the biggest demand. So don't allow yourself to get bogged down by fanciful training, hacks or latest fads.

We were doing this before, we'll be doing it during, and will continue after any lockdown. Because conditions are always perfect.

Let me know your thoughts. Have I ever made it 'hard' to do?

Lockdown is tough. No one wants to be here. But it is what it is.

We should only care about the things within our control. For those we can change. Right now, for the better. Get out there and make a change thats within your power. Take Adan here. You'll never hear him complain. Not even when he's fully on the

You'd be suprised how much fun carrying heavy things is.

You'd be more suprised how doing it in the dark and cold is even bettter. Trust me. It brings out an endurance in people they didnt know they had. But it is in there and this type of training draws that out.

Strength& doesn't create the ability to endure, it merely reveals it.

“Everything that happens is either endurable or not. If it’s endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining. If it’s unendurable… then stop complaining. Your destruction will mean its end as well. Just remember: you can endure anything your mind can make endurable, by treating it as in your interest to do so. In your interest, or in your nature.” Marcus Aurelius

Stop waiting for perfect conditions.

They will not come in the form you expect. It's going to be cold, it's going to be dark and times right now may seem long and lonely. But there is hope, and where there is hope there can always be growth.

Join us and help us grow. We are there to hold hands when needed, to push when required, and to lift up when necessary. What have you got to lose right now? Conditions are always perfect.

“Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won’t make us happier.”― Randy Pausch
