I’m at a bar in Philly and there’s three dudes next to me drinking seltzers and talking about how great Trader Joe’s bruschetta is. No judgement, but masculinity is weird.

6.Burpees. Yes. Burpees.

Any goon who says these aren’t beneficial just doesn’t like doing them.

However, there’s no need to hyperfocus them in programming or do them when you’re already doing spinal flexion (KB Swings) or spinal compression (Back Squats/Running).

Why do we say “righty tighty, lefty loosey”? Why not “right tight, left loose”, you freakin’ weirdos.

Hot take. Skenes strikes out 20 today.

All in all, you need to hyper-focus on something. As much as I hate to say it, exercise isn’t enough.

Notice how nutrition was the main component in both programs.

[Geoff Morehart @GeoffMorehart]

If you are number 2 just keep in mind that you need to hyper-focus on nutrition, sleep, hydration, and mental health. Exercise is important, but to change your aesthetics and habits you need more than a 45 minute ass-kicker in the gym.

[Geoff Morehart @GeoffMorehart]

Just know that if you are number 1 this involves a hyper-focus of nutrition, recovery, injury prevention, and supplementation. This is typically extreme and unsustainable.

There are two types of programming in my niché of clients.

1. Competitive ‘athletes’ that train for something (sports, CrossFit, powerlifting).

2. General fitness that try to maintain health and counteract poor eating habits.

If you’re at a community based gym that teaches you that you’re at the wrong gym if you don’t do what they do, then you’re at the wrong gym.

Trainers: How does showing us videos of how strong and fit you are in sponsored clothes with a cliché “I’m gonna prove the world wrong” tagline help anybody at all?

Where’s the meaning? Be ‘actually’ different.

Just witnessed an older man walking through an automatic sliding door at a grocery store say to an older woman walking through the other way, “Hey, let me get that door for you.”

Y’all need to take some notes, fellas.
