MAP exists to bring hope to people, to equip them with the necessary tools to achieve a happy,  fulfilled life. Training this way (challenging but hitting PRs 24/7) is one of the best tools we believe available for people who want to live their best life as it gives the confidence boost to overcome the things that have been holding them back the most.

A couple of the BIGGEST questions we have had recently revolved around performance at the end of the season (how to stay on top of training and nutrition) as well as how to trust yourself more and more in the weight room. As we unpack these loaded questions, we also got caught up talking about the Sandbag Challenge we use at MAP Clinton with our athletes. It is a purposeful pain that we have seen create absolute monsters as of lately. 

Welcome to episode 1 of our monthly Q&A series. Training has been one of the biggest resources in impacting our lives. There is infinite value to be gained from the process of training whether you are a young athlete, a parent of a super busy athlete, or anybody looking to find ways to enhance their experience of this life we all get to live. At MAP, training goes beyond the weight room. When you are ready to see HOW it does that, the answers will start showing up. You are the only one who can choose what you project out in life. What you choose to project will come right back at you creating what we know as reality.

Weeks out from his trip to the Arnold, Jake took some time to sit down in Cincinnati to share his journey as a raw powerlifter utilizing the conjugate system.

If you want to make it to the top, learn to overcome everything along the way. How? You just choose to do it.

On a side note, never once have I heard this guy complain about a single obstacle. Jake is as real as it gets and us here at MAP can’t wait for you to catch some inspiration off this episode.

Two strength coaches and a former collegiate athlete walk into a room... the rest, you'll have to tune in to hear. Considering just two years ago we all were in such different positions, it's insane to see where we are all now. Wherever we all end up over the years, one thing is for sure, we will help people no matter where we go.
