May 29, 2022 Glory Lifting | How to lift for Max Heaviness in 3 steps
Glory lifting means you are lifting really heavily for sport. In fact, you lift not simply for the ephemeral rush of sport, the thrill of the sport, but for everyone around to see do it. You move for attention when you glory lift. No shade, but this is often the only type of lifting we see on socials at lot of the time whether it’s shirtless dudes getting after it with massive wheels, pulsating neck veins and the brash unorthodoxy of a weighted GHD crunch or looking effortless while snatching hundreds of pound overhead in a jumper. In fact, there is a time and place to act like a university blue chip linebacker, for both guys and women.

It’s when you do you max lifting.

You need adrenaline to lift and to pressurize your body.
We need to make noise when we max lift
Max lifting helps us scale

Do it every month, not every Wednesday. Because it takes a toll on the body and remember that overuse is iniquitous lying, cheating philandering heifer-ass cousin of mastery.

01:12):
If you open up your socials feed and you scroll along and you're looking at your hashtags, hashtag fit motivation or gym life, you're gonna see a lot of expert movement.

(04:08):
The problem with that is we only do a one or two times, one or two times, three times max, and then we're done.

(09:32):
You want to feel as pumped up as you could get. Not only does that open up the capillaries and, and all the blood goes into the skeletal muscle and the big moving muscles of your body away from your organs, but you get focused, right?

(12:11):
I do it every three minimum, three weeks, maybe it's every six weeks, and we're not even doing one rent maxes because this ain't the NFL combine, right?

May 25, 2022 Making sure we get Superior Medical Advice
Over time, I notice we either 1. implicitly trust medical professionals without pause or 2. the opposite, we're not having it - professional advice - at all. All I want for you guys is moderation. Today, we're gonna practice how to evaluate the medical advice we receive about our physical bodies.
We already understand that medical professionals - physicians, physical therapists, psychologists (especially), then certified strength coaches, masseuses et al. - have our best interests because they practice science. But that doesnt stop our healthy skepticism from running wild at times. I want to help you parse the lines between believing wholesale or not today with my 3 keys to look for.

(02:00):
We need to investigate what type of credentials I'm looking for. When I go and talk to the medical professionals about my injuries.
(04:06)
our care your health is first place. It's priority. Cuz we gotta be around. You're here to be around for your loved ones.

(06:01)
When you know yourself a little better, we need to qualify that by going to get second opinions.

(08:15):
When we listen to professionals, we end up trusting everybody wholesale or no one.

(12:09)
It requires practical approaches and we want to get through the pain cycle, not reinforce it all too many times.

(19:30)
You gotta take your eating into advice into account, your eating has to be your responsibility.

May 21, 2022 Avatars of EASE | 3 R’s to Consistency and Choosing better models of PHYSICAL Greatnes
Who's here to tell you you didnt work? Often, we look at people with a nice aethetic appeal and think, "...specimen," "didn't have to work for it...," and instantly, we're caught up. Caught up in thinking that WE are behind those who were "gifted" with great genetics. Ego trippin makes it all too easy to regard others as too far ahead to catch up with but the truth is - there ain't no Avatars of Easy. Everyone had to work to get in amazing shape believe it. Otherwise, that belief keeps us inside a holding pattern of thinking which paralyzes our efforts to grow, to move forward.
And guess what, there's no such thing as a genetic freak! Most people had to work at SOMETHING to get to physical and emotional primes. No one just shows up on point.
What we are seeing is the peak of others' accomplishments and beneath the surface, there is a TON of stuff we never see nor hear about.
Friends, we need to revamp just how we look to other people for perfection and physical fitness.

(03:57):
Sometimes it seems like it, it seems like some people just show up and they look great.
(05:48)
So I want you guys to start looking for consistency out in the world.
(08:28):
So that's gonna be the first thing that we do. We wanna step away from looking for avatars that make it all look too easy, cuz it is never that easy.
(11:42
Set yourself up with a routine

(13:37):
So the second one's gonna be recover
(13:37):
record your progress and recording your progress could be something like writing it down.

May 16, 2022 Feel Goofy, Feel Changes | 3 rules to breakout from Comfort Zones
The gym can be a fish tank where others stare at our efforts to get stronger. No worries, you job is still to dig deep and get after it! If folks glance over or even stare, if not for a second, know it's not time to run up on em. No! Instead, we remember the WHY - we're in the gym to get step out of our comfort zone. Each day is about testing - not stressing - but teasing our limits. Facts! Therefore, we gotta get into the mode of being okay with FEELING less than svelte.
FEEL WEIRD sometimes, but perform like a boss.

May 13, 2022 Card carrying cannabis Consumers | 3 reasons you do weed in your Fitness
Demonized by so so many and accepted by millions more, smoking weed is not the pernicious domain of the lowlife, the religious zealots or the wasted. Instead, weed smoking habits highlight the efforts of the relief-seekers, the stressed and anxious, the soul-searching optimists with too much free time. In the gym, I see all three, all the time. And some of you are fooling anyone.
By and large, smoking weed in the gym, eating, dabbing the shatter, ingesting the ear or whatever euphemism we adopt means we seek to build inner comfort to the outside world. And some of you knew this waaaaaaaaaay before the rest of us, right? You card carrying cannabis connoisseurs way before laws allowed for it… some of you wore the black hat of the outlaw and others, the activist or even atavist.

May 08, 2022 Who told you to EAT like That? | Relationship with fast food, the arches and other microbe-resistant Stuff
We remember as youngsters the treat of earing fast food only to recall just how f'ed up fast food is when the microbes and bacteria won't go near it. Yet, we still enjoy it. What if it was aunties cooking instead? Wouldnt you enjoy it for real. Also, I'm reminded of such things when bringing up trash in my car, the jingle to my favorite fast food which is cosigned by one of my favored rappers, and trying to figure out just who teaches us to eat the way we do.

3:45 love hate relationship
6:05 mold wont eat this stuff
8:25 the messaging was there from day 1
9:50 we listen to others on how to eat
10:15 it's Pusha T's fault
12:40 Convenience over comfort
15:05 the Eating Chain

March 31, 2022 Cardio, lifting or EGO - pick 2
Checking our ego means busting down what we think works in order to get better. Like the time my coach tried to legally manslaughter me and how this broke down my comfort bubble. Remember, someone you know is in the gym right now, looking a bit sloppier and they need YOU to help them shed their "old skin," their ego in order to progress!
Sometimes, this means choosing between lifting weights and doing cardio - we cover which to spend more time doing which.
