About 15 years ago I was training a bit with a Navy SEAL. He was in Israel at the time, but eventually came to the states.
His training regiment was brutal.
Three days a week he ran a good 10 km or more. My brother would run with him since he was in the military as well, in a unit called “The Cherries”. He told me these were not jogs, but all out races and “Joe” was out to win, every single time.
The other three days Joe would swim a good 30 minutes. Sometimes a pool swim, other times the ocean.
Then, on evenings, Monday – Friday, Joe and I trained together. But, he was always there before me, and always stayed after me.

I was at a coffee shop one day and the guy working there saw my Underground shirt on. He told me he saw us on you tube, heard about us, saw us in the paper.
He told me he was trying out for the nearby minor league Baseball team, but he never made the cut the year before. He was a skinny dude, no doubt, so, I asked him, what are you doing now to change that?

Tim Ferriss encourages the 80/20 rule like a beast to keep your business kicking ass. It simply means 80 % of your results often come from 20% of your actions. He’s correct. Now it’s time to apply these rules to getting ripped, getting stronger and getting in better condition.
This rule is basically telling us that much of what we do can be wasted time, maybe, possibly, perhaps? YES.
I feel the same rule applies with your training. How many movements are REALLY helping you get where you want, look the way you want and perform the way you want?
I have my select few that jack me up and increase my strength without fail and you can see these at The Underground as I post my workouts on the forum every single time.

Change can be a good thing.
I am feeling a need for change. It starts from a point much deeper than my emotions, it’s just a Gut feeling I have.
I find myself running home rather than driving home.
I begin removing favorites such as squats and deadlifts, and return to a lot of bodyweight training, kettlebell workouts, sandbags and sledge hammers.
Sprinting becomes more common place, as does jumping, dragging sleds and running with the prowler.
Removing breads, milk and dairy from my nutrition intake begins to take on a new beast. My body craves the change so I listen.
My training will evolve, and you must search for this art form deep within yourself….I have been training since age 13, now 32, I can feel what my body wants and needs, you will begin the same journey.
Soon, the mountain bike will be dusted off and I’ll be riding the trails, stopping when I find a log for lifting, a stone for pressing or rowing or a tree branch for pull ups and leg raises.
Nature is taking its course with me, but I’ll always remain an animal

As the world becomes a busier and busier place for so many of us, it seems that rather than think for ourselves, and do what is best for us, too many people blindly copy other materials.
I’m talking about copying someone else’s workout, rather than take bits and pieces of what works for you.
I’m also talking about the endless information on the web. Watch me write about a topic and rather than a fellow strength coach create his own idea, he takes the words right from my pages without his own heart written words.
I talk about both of these scnearios because if you want your training to truly be meaningful, you must create a style of training that works for you, not your friend or others, and, it must create an emotion that allows you to lose yourself and find yourself.
