"I wish I could go back and slap younger 'me'. I was in the best shape of my life...and too self-critical to enjoy it." 

These are somber words of regret from a client thinking back on former days with present clarity. 

That stage you're chasing or next size you want to fit into can be a hell of a driver. But how do we make sure it's a healthy one? 

While you're climbing toward that peak, stop and look around. Look down, see how far you've come. You wont be "here" again. Ever. 
And if you can't find enjoyment here, you won't find fulfillment up there.

A 2 year study and UT Southwestern and NTNU A 2-year study on previously sedentary 50-something adults showed that a 4x4 Nordic (Norwegian) interval training, performed 1–2 times weekly, reverses 20 years of age-related heart stiffness. The protocol demonstrated that with the right variety, intensity and frequency of training, V02 max can be increased significantly, and hearts can become larger, more compliant, and more functional.

The "protocol" is what most people miss. Sometimes out of ignorance and sometimes out of apathy.

I didn't use this picture because tires are the best way to do this, but rather to point out that nearly anything can be used...if you're willing to put in the work.

Big biceps are nice to look at. Low intensity steady state cardio is great.

But it's not enough. If you want deeper benefits, you have to be willing to wade into deeper water.

And I would say 20 years of functional age reversal is pretty deep.

Btw, I promise I'm not naked in this photo 👀

I had a guy approach me this week and ask, " what do you call this training you're doing ?"
I responded, " what do you mean?"
He asked "what are you training for?"
I paused a second and said, " life."
After detailing the pitfalls of training ruts and the ease of overlooking certain areas for too long, I found myself explaining why I have nearly everyone incorporate some of what I was doing.
Here's a few reasons why:

1. Roughly 95% of people after 30 never do explosive movements like jumping, sprinting.
2. Fascia tissue becomes stiffer, less hydrated and more fibrous with age. This weakens transmission of force between muscles.
3. People after 30 lose up to 3% of their muscle mass per year - without proper training.

I finished with explaining how I will be turning 42 this year, keeping up with growing kids, and that a little intention and direction with workouts can make the difference between wandering hopefully and changing effectively.
Where you're stiff, get bouncy.
Where you're weak, get stronger.
And if you're stuck, ask for help.

You can't expect motivation to carry what structure was meant to support.

Motivation shows up loud and leaves early.
Structure is quiet and stays.

The people who last aren’t more inspired—they’re better oriented.

This is why boring, sweaty effort will always beat fleeting, shiny objects.

Aim. Execute. Recalibrate.

Life can feel complicated.
The gym scene on social media is similar.

If you’re new to this arena, you likely feel intimidated at the complexity of it all.
If you're experienced enough, you're probably tired of it all. Such as:

(1) Ideologies and opinions that have gone from competitive and nuanced to combative and elitist - *this* one way is the only way 🥴

(2) The luring click bait nonsense that capitalizes on algorithm and always underdelivers substance

(3)The posturing of frat boy-energy meat heads who's offerings and personalities equally came out of a bottle

So lets untangle the traffic in your head, and line up some runway for progress in a singular direction. This is where most people fail - movement started, but not enough to gain momentum that is kept as an adopted process.

Here are some nearly foolproof ways you can stay on track, and hopefully not be having this conversation with yourself again in 12 months:

1. Your time in the gym is valuable. You'll get out of it what you put in. Say your hellos and goodbyes quickly when you're " in session." This means avoid conversations that become 5 minutes of rumination or distraction. Daily drama or pi***ng and moaning about the frivilous has no place here. Stay focused.

2. If you physically can, you should. You will easily get buried in responsibilies and excuses everyday that keep you from one of your highest priorities  - your health. If you aren't sick, recovering from 3rd degree burns, or chronically short on sleep, the best thing you can do today is *something* intentional.

3. Set quantifiable but simple rules for yourself: 
Never go more than one day without ___ minutes of training. 
Don't eat after ___ p.m. 
Maintain and average of ___ hrs of sleep.
Boundaries are not restrictions. They are safeguards for success

4. Limit your entertainment consumption and focus on your development. We are created mind body and soul, and we grow better as this totality than when we obsess merely on a goal itself. Be open to facing the parts of you that have led to your current struggles and predicament, and be closed to the notion of bringing them along any further.

1. It's too late. If it hasn't happened yet, it won't.

2. You don't have what it takes.

3. If only you had her opportunities.

4. If only you had his genetics.

OR

1. Because my resolve is inevitable, so is my success.

2. I contain more than I can comprehend.

3. I don't need her opportunities. I just need to be ready for mine.

4. I can't control my genetics. But I can control my work ethic.

All voices.

One pushing and another pulling

Sometimes familiar. Sometimes new.

Capable of dragging you down or lifting you up.

They can harshly echo from childhood wounds.

They can playfully whisper from child-like hope.

And as diametrically opposite as these voices can be, they are strangely enough always seeking the same thing from you:

𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

So be discerning with your thoughts,

And purposeful with unity.

When you go to bed,

When you wake up,

And when you walk out that door.

Got this shirt from the small town, ho dunk, mom and pop gym I went to when I was 15 or 16. I was swimming in it and they didn't have other sizes.

I had a Walkman CD player that I could barely fit in my pants, and the wired headphones got caught on everything.

Paged through muscle and fitness magazines looking for the top-secret training program that promised 20lbs of muscle in a few months - total 🐂 💩 BTW.

I wasn't anywhere near where I wanted to be, but there was something special about it.

Maybe because no one was immersed in their phone all day.

Maybe because I was so present that I can still remember the smell of the iron, rubber floors, and awful protein bars.

Maybe because before there was ever a "pre-workout" market, half the stuff in the fridge had legit ephedrine in it 😎

I'd do anything to go back and slam some Ultimate Orange before riding my bike down there to chalk up and shoot the s**t with the same crowd.

They were the "good ol days."

Though I didn't know at the time.

And that's how it works.

You're busy thinking of where and who you want to be, and that you need to get there, *now*

So much that you don't realize there's something, right there in front of you, that one day you'll wish you could reach back and touch one more time.

I guarantee most of you are living through some "good ol' days" right now.

They might not be perfect days, but back then they didn't seem perfect either...until you look back.

So take a moment to soak up the moment.

Shut out the noise. Silence the notifications.

Vibe that playlist.

Feel the knurling of the bar bite into your hand.

You don't always have to look at your workout like it's an obligation, and the day like it's only a checklist.

They are both gifts.

Don't wait so long to realize it.

PSA: Your name will end up on one of these.

Like it or not.

No one will really care if you were a boomer, gen x, millennial, gen z, or whatever clever title is given next.

You will be remembered based on how much you did with what you had.

Or you will be forgotten because of how much you left on the table.

How clear or unclear you were with demonstrating who and what really matters.

The pages of your book are turning, whether you like it or not.

And that's not always a pretty thought.

Some of us have some ugly stuff in a chapter or two.

Some of us have left far too many pages full of passive ambiguity. 

Before I say anything else, I want to remind you of something. 

You're holding the #@%$ pen. This is YOUR story. 

For some of us, this means we need a plot twist.

Get on it.

And for those of you who are being recklessly optimistic with your timeline - none of us know if our book will have 30 chapters or 10.

Time to start writing with more clarity. 

What do you hate about the earlier version of you?

Did you not go after your potential because of who it would upset?

Were you unable to enjoy valuable moments because you lived in a prison of fear or anxiety?

Was your life outlook and self-worth stifled by a terrible relationship?

Did you avoid certain places, trips, or experiences because your health or weight was holding you back?

Will the rest of your chapters be filled with obscurity?

Or will they be stamped in fullness and redemption by way of intention and purpose?

As you can tell, this isn't a "warm and fuzzy" message to someone who needs a verbal cuddle partner.

I hope it gets you up off the couch, out of the haze, past the ruminating.

I hope it finds you convicted. 

I hope it blows some wind on those coals inside you that you have been allowing to die out. 

Some things in life happen to us.

But there's a whole lot more that can only happen through us.

What will you do with the time you have left?


06/22/2025

Lifting, twisting, tossing, stacking.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

I call it playing sweaty Tetris.

And people used to do stuff like this all the time.

Curls are cool. Having a 6 pack is nice.

But what does your relative fitness allow you to do when you need to do it? 

This was tough and hot. I sweated through my clothes and probably anyone else's that got close enough 😆

But a few liters of water, electrolytes, watermelon, and some hosing down and I'm off to do yard work and errands.

Fitness isn't just about mirrors and beaches. 

It's about life. 

What are you training for?

"The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.'"

No shadow so dark or pit so deep as to be beyond the reach of His love
