It's 5am, you’re already at work, you ate a garbage dinner last night, the baby kept waking you up….. But at 5pm you’re hitting the gym and hammer your body into submission to relieve the stress of the day, because that’s what MEN do, right?

I’m here to tell you today that I’ve been there and you more than likely are just spinning your wheels and leaving progress on the table tackling training this way.

I was THAT guy, business owner, still on active duty, wife, baby on the way and anything else you can imagine a young buck focused on taking over the world would be doing.

Rinse and repeat, Monday - Friday, telling myself “you got this.” Problem was, I didn’t, my health suffered.

I was putting the time in at the gym but I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted and worse I felt like I was regressing. More days than not I felt run down, unmotivated and generally like crap.

Then it hit me, I was out of balance, the way I was training didn’t match the stress I was putting on my body, it was just adding to it.

Do you have a bad temper??

Do you catch yourself in wild tirades that you do not even realize you are in?

One moment you are fine, the next moment you’re yelling, throwing things, and even wanting to act out violently to someone.

I used to be that way.  In fact, that was the story I had of how a man should be, and how we solved our problems.

But then I learned another way to control my temper.  And now I’m not yelling or swearing at my wife, repairing unnecessary holes in the walls, and intimidating people to get what I want, and let me tell ya it feels so good!

A lot of you measure a “GOOD” workout in different ways. 

CrossFit has High Intensity, Amraps, & time.  

Orange Theory has splat points. 

Runners base it on time or distance. 

For some, it’s the amount of sweat and soreness they have. 

What if training that way was actually what was keeping you from accomplishing your goals? 

Find out what type of energy is missing from your training sessions, so you can break through new plateaus and accomplish your GOALS!!
