Once you take a grip- quit thinking, you know what needs to happen. @bradleyberlin @wearethemavens

For those joining me this Sunday in DTW for the Compete to Win seminar, the material is ready. I am proud to share what has taken me so long to develop, and humbled by those that are taking the time to come learn with me. See you soon @wearethemavens and those traveling in as well. #gritandteeth #competetowin

July 26th 2015 "compete to win" Hosted by @wearethemavens Here is an excerpt from the 40 page manual: "We move the body in order to modify the brain. Over the millennia of human civilization it has been the ambience of great thinkers to use physical exertion in order to explore the inner workings of our mind. This tradition, this manipulation is the banner in which progress becomes sustainable. “We craft our spiritual strength through physical exercise, and our physical hardiness through mental practice.” (mens sana in corpore sano-sound mind in a strong body) –The Obstacle is the Way In order to truly know ourselves we eventually must remove the clutter of ego-driven goals. Oiled, tan abs tells us little about ourselves, yet the struggle to attain them might. The visual appeal and the “appearance” of fitness is all but a side effect of the greater cause. This is one of the harder fundamental understandings to develop, as there is nothing sold with it, and there is not ONE way to evolve its understanding. There is no drug that can replicate its effect on you, and supplements help enhance nothing of the comprehension, only a dedication to give greater effort when our head is least likely to help us."

"Fat guy" aerobics. #gritandteeth

"Where the head goes the body follows, perception precedes action. Right action follows the right perspective."

My shins prove this doesn't always end positive.

Some know about it, most talk about it, others will only settle for doing it. In this training hall a "300lb squat is a 300lb squat". @cassd1117 FTW #strongfullstop

What we choose to see is our own burden. The direction we are pointed and told is the right way could very well be the wrong one. But all we can do in life is smile and hope the view and the people we see it with will last.

It's next to impossible to teach that which you haven't felt. #tbt to learning what "going long" was all about. http://www.gritandteeth.com/upcoming/

"Uncertainty and fear are relieved by authority, Training is authority. It’s a release valve. With enough exposure you can adapt out those perfectly ordinary, even innate, fears that are bred mostly from unfamiliarity."

Are we pushing too hard, too often or not enough? What do decades of research say? # If you want to learn more about appropriate effort to increase fitness and will be in the Detroit area, come spend the day @wearethemavens and learn the truth behind real fitness progression, nutrition and psychology of sport.
