You don’t learn subjects in school by having your parents do your homework.

Training, nutrition, and managing your mind are no different.

You’ll need guidance, support, and structure.

But then you have to do the homework.

Action over intellect.

Smart people have the most clever excuses for why they haven't made any progress.

The desire for absolute certainty of an outcome before beginning a new pursuit robs you of the unexpected and potentially better outcome that arises along the way.

The big results you want come from the little things you’re not doing every day.

If other peoples growth intimidates or scares you it’s because you’re not growing.

A lot of people would actually reach their goals if they stopped being so short sighted.

Jumping ship because of a few storm clouds on the horizon doesn’t get you to harbor any quicker.

The longer you play the short game, the harder things get.
The longer you play the long game, the better the rewards.

This happens because just as the accumulation of tiny advantages makes the future easier, the accumulation of tiny disadvantages makes the future harder.

[dave.strengthandkindness @davehagertydpt]

Trying to “make it easier” rarely makes it easier.

Getting better typically does.

Everything can be toxic at high enough concentrations…except love, joy, and laughter.

One heuristic to tell how good someone is at making decisions is how much time they have.

The busiest people are often the ones who make the worst decisions. Not only do they have less time to think about the problem, but they are often busy correcting poor past decisions.

[dave.strengthandkindness @davehagertydpt]

It’s real simple.

People get it in their mind that they; can’t, that it won’t work, and that they’re too special, and it’s really hard to get them to un-believe that s***.

[Farnam Street @farnamstreet]

The 24-hour rule states that you turn the page every day. No matter what. You can celebrate or cry, but tomorrow you turn the page. Tomorrow is a new day.

Those anchored to the past are incapable of seeing the future.

Learn from the past but don’t hang on to it.

[dave.strengthandkindness @davehagertydpt]

Give yourself direction in and out of the gym.

Lay out goals.
Identify your values.
Create a vision.

Take action.

If you want to get stronger, be more confident, and be happy you can’t go wrong doing the things above.

It will help you in every phase of life.

I played better soccer at 35 than I did at 15 yesterday.

My touch was trash, but still.

I’m telling you.

Train for life.

[dave.strengthandkindness @davehagertydpt]

Social media strength, fitness, and health is all black and white.

The results are in the shades of grey.

Hint: The shades of grey are applying things to your specific situation and goals.

[dave.strengthandkindness @davehagertydpt]

A lot of people mistake novelty for variety in the gym and that’s why they never make progress.

[dave.strengthandkindness @davehagertydpt]

What is good technique?

Are you hitting the muscle group you are trying to hit or are you performing the movement relatively well?

Are you moving in a way that doesn’t unnecessarily stress your joints?

If you answered yes to the above your technique is probably good enough!
