  • Episode 71- How to Physically Prepare for Special Forces Assessment & Selection (SFAS)

    In this bonus episode, I broke down everything you need to know about physcial preparation for SFAS. Topics included:

    -My SFAS experience
    -Standards and times to shoot for
    -Physical traits to focus on
    -What not to do when preparing
    -How long to train for and how to structure it
    -Reasons people don't make it
    And more.

    Knowing what to do is only half the battle, you still have to execute. Getting selected also requires more than just physical preparedness - you must be a well rounded individual.

    But being physically prepared is a non-negotiable if you want to have any chance.

    There's a myriad of misinformation online these days, and in this episode I uncovered how I would recommend training for selection if I were to go again.

    Please enjoy the episode and share it with a friend who wants to get selected!

  • Episode 64- 13 Traits & Habits of People Who Effortlessly Stay Lean

    Wondering why some people seemingly stay lean with minimal effort? Wondering why it's so hard for some people to lose weight and keep it off? It all starts with adopting the traits of a lean person.

    If I were poor and wanted to be rich, I'd have to start doing things rich people do.

    If I were a mediocre athlete and wanted to be great, I'd have to start doing what great athletes do.

    Well, this also applies to fitness. If you want to get and stay lean (whether it's for health purposes or aesthetics), you'll need to adopt habits and develop traits that most lean people have.

    In this episode, I go over 13 different habits and traits of lean people.

    Getting lean is not easy - it takes a lot of work.

    Staying lean is even less easy, especially if you don't spend the time developing the habits of a lean person habits.

    Listen to this episode to find out what these habits are and how you can implement them into your life!
