This was the original AST.

We called it The Shack.

A backyard shed. A rack. Some dumbbells. A few plates. And a belief that it could become something more.

It was not polished. It was not perfect. But it was a start.

And looking back, that’s the lesson.
Where you start is not where you’re going.

That’s true for a business.

And it’s true for your health, strength, confidence, and fitness journey.

Most people wait.

They wait until they’re in better shape. They wait until life slows down. They wait until they feel more confident. They wait until they feel “ready.”

But progress does not start when everything is perfect.

It starts when you begin.

The first version is never the final version.

The Shack was not the final version of AST. Neither is the current version.

As long as you are alive you can get better.

And where you are today is not the final version of you.

Just start.

I asked my team to hold me accountable.

Then I had to decide if I actually meant it.

Luckily I did.

Even though for a second or two it was tough.

Now....

Project delegated....

Better experience coming for our members.

And best of all....

It doesn't mean more work for me.

I heard this Epictetus quote in a Stoic audiobook and it hit me hard:

“If evil is spoken of you and it is true, correct yourself. If it is a lie, laugh at it.”

That’s a simple rule, but not an easy one.

Because most of us do the opposite.

If someone criticizes us, we get defensive. If someone misunderstands us, we want to explain ourselves. If someone lies about us, we want to fight back.

But this quote gives you a cleaner path:

If they’re right, own it. Fix it. Get better.

If they’re wrong, don’t let it control you. Don’t chase every opinion. Don’t waste energy proving yourself to people committed to misunderstanding you.

That applies to training. That applies to business. That applies to being a husband, father, coach, and man.

Take the lesson if there is one.

Let the rest go.

YOU MADE IT BABY!

Your very first mother's day in the books.

Thank you for everything you do... everyday!

Especially thank you for delivering our little ball of joy.

I knew you'd be a great mom, but you're even better than expected l!

YOUR FORM SHOULDN'T BREAK. BUT YOUR FACE SHOULD.

See mine at the end!!

Too many people only focus on adding more weight.

And you should.

BUT not as the sacrifice of posture.

Strength is about holding your position under challenge.

Fight for that rep...

But not at the expense of form.

Your body should work hard.
And your face should show it.

But your posture??

That has to stay strong for you to stay strong for the long term

THE TRUTH IS....
I'VE LOST THAT BATTLE PLENTY OF TIMES.

Said I'd wake up early.... didn't.

Said I'd train.... skipped it.

Said I'd be more patient.... wasn't

The hard truth?
That compounds.

But so does keeping your word.

Demonstrating what you say...

In a world of loud mouths and 💩 talkers.

One good choice.

One hard rep.

One promise kept.

That's how you build yourself back.

And yes, my legs were on fire and heart pumping after that set!

THERE'S ENOUGH OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYBODY....

BUT NOT ENOUGH EFFORT FROM EVERYBODY!!

A scarcisty mindset creates jealousy.

An abundant mindset creates action.

There IS room for you.

BUT room alone isn't enough...
You still have to put in that work.

Someone opens a gym near me...
GOOD

Someone took you're starting spot....
GOOD

Someone else got the promotion....
GOOD

Why is that good?

Because now you know what needs work.

Stop being threatened...

Start improving!

I USED TO RHINK STRENGTH WAS WHAT I COULD LIFT.

How big I was

How much I benched

I thought it would give me everything.

But life has taught me something bigger.

REAL STRENGTH IS WHAT YOU CAN CARRY

Family.

Responsibility

Adversity

Growth

Love

Purpose

Im forever....

Learning

Carrying

Becoming

noticed a gas smell this morning.

We called the fire department and played it safe.

But instead of shutting it down…
we adapted.

Trap bar outside.

Workout continues.

Good attitude stays the same.

That’s AST.

Once it was clear we went back inside to finish up!
