Dumbbells, barbells or bodyweight?

And so we’re in our first full week of March… With it, another month to strength train like we mean it. Just like any bartender in a saloon in the old west, what’s your poison? We typically mix in each of the following three into our programming: 1. Dumbbell Training2....

Miss you already, February

Usually, I try to get right to the point in these emails (one of my favorite things to do), but I’m gonna steal the greatest intro I’ve read in a long time from The Hustle this morning: Welcome to March, the month of college basketball, green clothing with stupid sayings like “Back...

Make a decision already

Welcome to the every-four-years bonus day!Okay, since we’ve been given the gift of time, let’s take a step back.And let’s forget about success for a minute – that’s probably getting in your way.Instead, I want you to define what fitness progress means to you.No BS.Define exactly what progress means to you.What I run into...

 Make a decision already

Mark your calendar. We’re exactly one week away from the newest season of Full Swing. And if I were a betting man…it’s gonna be even more awesome-er than the first season. Yesterday, I struck a nerve about a quote that I’m sure I borrowed, but don’t remember where: “Everything you want...

Everything you want is on the other side of consistency

Not too long ago, one of our Crew, Chris, was telling me his fat loss results, then we had a needle on the record moment. He found us toward the end of December. And started with the Fat Loss Blueprint (shameless plug: You can find the Fat Loss Blueprint right now in the 18STRONG Membership)....

The unstoppable feedback loop

“The only thing I need to figure out is whether to get Chicago-style or thin crust.” Wise words spoken by Tommy Boy. Now, as simple as that may seem on the surface, Tommy Boy brings up a great point. Making good decisions isn't about having all the answers. I’ve been...

Are we right for you?

I challenge you …

We're gonna shake things up a bit today.Yesterday our focus was on EXERCISE and how starting simple will set you up for long-term success.And that's absolutely TRUE.But if you're in the 18STRONG CREW, you're likely not going to be satisfied with just taking a stroll in the park.So today, I'm...

Hit the bricks!

Yesterday, we started talking about simply getting started. Something lights a fire under your a$$ (perhaps, an email from a trusted golf fitness trainer?:). And you tell yourself, “I want to get fit. Now what?” Here’s what you don’t do: Spend the next few weeks collecting all of the overwhelming information the...

 Strength training if it’s been awhile

I must see “strength training” 100X everyday. But, what does that really mean, and how do we go tackle it? Today, let’s get back to the basics: Strength training if it’s been awhile.My goal is not to give you the hard sell. Or, shame you into getting off your a$$....
