Who say’s you have to grow grey and weak with age?

That’s what most believe. That after an early peak the body will wear and break, and lifting weights just won’t be very fun anymore.

But is that true, or does the descent begin the moment you stop having a good time?

There is a remedy, but the answer isn’t to train more intensely. There’s nothing for you to prove.

With the love and support of family, and great teammates by your side, there will be no limits to your strength.

And ultimately, your most productive and blissful lifting years will begin the moment you start having fun again.

In a community where the bench press is often overlooked we present you with some good reasons you may want to still include it in your training.

How to up your mental game. (Hint: people put way less importance on this than they actually should)

Why You're Rounding Your Back and How to Fix It

Part 2 of 2.

As the saying goes, “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” And sometimes, he’ll show up at your front door dragging a heavy sled and chains.

To be coachable - to learn, adapt and break old barriers - you must be willing to get outside of your comfort zone, far away from your preferred pace and cozy routines.

Start right now with what you cannot do, with what you're afraid to do. Because sometimes, the only way to unveil true weakness and bust plateaus is to pull yourself through dark places.

All of your questions, your doubts and fears, it’s time to burn them down and rise again, renewed, alive and awakened.

Adopt these 3 qualities and you'll quickly go from low performer to high performer.
