Time to drop some truth. I see no other way to do things.
The photo above, from Paolo Coelho speaks loud and clear.
Do NOT lie to yourself. EVER.
Trust your gut instincts.
When you deny your gut instincts you are denying one of the most powerful things your mind and body have. In the end, denying your true feelings will more than likely lead to the wrong path.
In this Video I discuss mistakes I've made in life and business that I deep down knew were wrong, but I got caught up being a sheep, a follower, part of the herd. Of course, no happiness came about, neither did success.
But when I DID follow my gut instincts. Ahhhhh.....
Things changed. Like this....

Trust your gut instincts.
If it feels wrong. It IS wrong.

Z, great thoughts in this post!
I had a visiting CrossFit guy (who comes almost every year) ask me if my gym was still a CrossFit affiliate since we train do differently from the rest of them down here.
Yes, we are still an affiliate (in fact the 35th one to ever open); but in my gut I know we must focus on strength as first priority. We are adamant about correct technique and strict movements. Our athletes, as a whole, have no interest in competing in CF events; since they prefer Powerlifting and Strongman competitions.We have formed great friendships in those circles over the years.
I also told him that we could be just another CF gym out of over 9000, or we could be the only Cave.
Frank, sounds like you KNOW what you believe in, brother, keep living it!
Agree with you 100%. That gut instinct many people deny through their intellect but that has been around since the dawn of men. And all of us have it but often we forget to listen to it more carefully.
On this weeks “barbell shrugged” one of the top S&C coaches in MMA lays it all out:

Excellent stuff – especially going against the grain with some thoughts on low intensity movement and energy preserving. Something which really isnt “en vogue” with todays high intensity scheme everywhere!
Cheers
Sven thanks bro, yes, Joel is a smart dude, very interesting to see his implementation of HRV and science
