“Where are the videos of you"?

I was told today by a client I trust, that if I was the face of PowerAthlete, then there should be some representation of me on the site, so we taped this morning workout.  The workout itself is 100 reps each set, three sets. 

Broke down it looked like this:

20 bar push ups

20 straight leg deadlifts

20 military press

20 back squat

20 bent rows

rest 2 minutes

repeat twice more.

Do Better!

"Raising your level of performance requires a proper mentality and meaning from within. This gives you the ability and drive to work on the things necessary to go to a higher level. When people ask me how to raise their level of performance, the first thing I ask is, How important is it to you?"

This quote by Wrestling coach Dan Gable can fit into any facet of your life your are trying to improve, from your body composition to your work performance. 

  1. Know what it takes to get you to your goal
  2. Put together  a plan to get you to that goal
  3. Follow that plan feverishly as long as it guides you toward your ultimate goal
  4. Don’t settle.  Half way, half assed is not acceptable
  5. Follow what you know is right to the best of your ability, or stop bitching about not being able to achieve your goals.  Do the necessary work or shut the hell up!

Just Freakin’ Get It Done!

If you want to succeed at anything, the key is mind set.  If you want to be a doctor, you aren’t going to go through undergraduate work, with mediocre grades, and then complain that you didn’t get into a medical school!  If you do, your an idiot.  Its no different with changing your body composition, fitness level, or achieving athletic goals, if you don’t commit and really get it done, and you hope for a positive result, you are an idiot!
