Why do you go to the gym?

For some people, it’s to lose weight. For others, it’s to build muscle. There’s nothing wrong with that.

But I think the best reason to train is for the life it allows you to live.

To stay independent as you get older.
To play with your kids without getting out of breath.
To pick up your grandchildren one day without worrying about your back.
To keep doing the things you love for as long as possible.

The way you look is only part of it.

The real win is having a body that’s capable, healthy and strong enough to support the life you want to live.

So, why do you train?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but stop waiting for the right time to start.

The truth is, there’s never going to be a perfect time.

So what’s actually stopping you?

Stop making excuses and start making small changes. You don’t have to get everything right from day one.

One good choice today is better than doing nothing at all.

Set yourself a goal, and every day do something that gets you one step closer.

Progress isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being consistent.

Current strength focus.
Partial squats to increase force production in the positions I use for explosive throws.
3 point rows to develop upper body pulling strength while challenging trunk stability.
Weighted pull ups to improve maximal pulling force.
Bench press to build upper body pushing strength for gripping, posting and controlling opponents.

Every exercise has a purpose. Train with intent.
