POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I’ve done it all.

I played rugby, reaching a level of the game that most players didn’t.

I competed in strength sports. I got huge. I leaned up. I stepped on stage.

My life has been filled with blessings, pain, wins, and losses.

Through it all, the gym remains the one constant.

It is therapy, peace, comfort, and joy.

My body tells the score, and I wear that like the green jacket of the Master’s winner.

This is what makes me a damn good coach because I have lived all the seasons of a lifter in my life and I have the ability to teach others how to find their fitness success.

I wish I had pics of me from when I played rugby, but that would require me actually giving a shit if I had them.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 24.2% of adults aged 18 and older meet the Physical Activity Guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening.

75% of Americans don’t touch a weight.

I remember a client from my time on Long Island. He was a 60-year-old man who blew his knee out in a skiing accident. He owned an accounting firm down the street from the gym in Amityville. After he was released from PT, he came to the gym and talked with me about starting to lift weights. At that point, he had never touched a weight in his life, but his goal was to get back on the slopes and prevent another injury.

We started slowly, progressing over time as his ability to lift improved along with his form. As he progressed, he got stronger, and we were able to do a proper barbell squat. Eventually, he worked up to 185 pounds for reps, no small feat for an older man with a surgically repaired knee who had never lifted weights before.

Summer turned into Fall and turned into Winter. He had a ski trip planned to Colorado. When he returned home, he shared pictures from his trip and told me how much better he felt on the slopes, not only with his rehabbed knee, but also the newly gained strength he earned.

He was happy, overjoyed even, and it’s all because he took the step to start at the advice of his PT.

Not every story of a beginner is about a ski slope or a sport, but there are countless tales of people starting at a gym for the first time and discovering the immense benefits of weight training.

We need to help more of those 75% do the same thing.

Remember when you used to be excited to go to the gym?

Me too.

Now it’s such a part of my life that it’s become routine.

That’s what consistency does. Routine.

The PPL split is a popular split for bodybuilders, but we can tweak that for other purposes.

What if we crafted a non-bodybuilding program out of it?

I heard barbell rows are not that popular these days.

Meh.

Real G’s do them anyway because a strong back is worth it.

I wonder how tiresome it gets to keep track of all that data when you can’t even stick to a plan for longer than a week.

Try that, first.

One of those nutty things I see a lot of is people talking about fiber being unimportant to humans.

I could see why they say that.

After all, there have been hundreds of studies, numerous meta-analyses, and a host of medical data that explicitly detail the importance of fiber for your health and weight management.

It’s easy to believe that fiber is bad for you after all that evidence, right?

Scrolling social media will expose you to perfect bodies, complex workouts, freaks of nature who are much stronger than you, bigger than you, faster than you, and it can make you feel like you aren’t doing enough, working out hard enough, or good enough.

Full fucking stop right there.

The fact is that most of us are people trying to be a little better than we were yesterday. Not all of us compete or want to be the strongest and biggest in the gym. We don’t have to optimize everything to get results. Your sleep score and HRV aren’t going to make or break you getting into the gym, keeping up on your healthy eating, nor does it mean you need to rest today so you get that elusive 99 on your Apple sleep score.

We don’t all need complex workouts; most of us can get by just fine with a few basic principles:

1. Generate some power with medicine ball throws, jumps, sprints, Olympic lift variations, or KB work
2. Lift something heavy-ish. It doesn’t always mean a max effort lift, it means you must use progressive resistance of some sort. More reps, more weight, more progress.
3. Mobility work is a must to ensure you maintain your pliability and durability.
4. Conditioning is important for your circulatory health, your aerobic capacity, and your ability to recover.
5. Rest is as important as all of these, as you cannot push yourself without having time to recover properly.

You can do the most basic program and get amazing results as long as you honor those five principles above.

Smart training isn’t developing the most unique workout you can do; it is executing the consistent application of the basics.

It’s worked for decades, and it will work for decades longer.
