People who are happy and successful think more about the good things that can happen to them than they do the opposite of those things.

[Rob Oviatt @RobOviatt1]

One of the best to ever play the game.

“ Nothing builds a team, or bonds a team, like working hard together, and for each other. And that starts in the weight
room “.

THE LAST 20 SECONDS!!!

Not everyone “in your corner” really understands what’s best for you! Hype men don’t make anyone better, they just make them FEEL better.

Something I’ll tell my grandchildren someday in my raspy old-man voice…

Keep your ear to the street, your head in the clouds and your hands on the grindstone.

Translation: Engage in social listening, stay curious, and never be afraid of continuous, hard work.

[Wendi A. Irlbeck MS, RDN, LD, CISSN @Wendi_Irlbeck]

Start slow when trying to gain weight and stay in control! Focus on consistency with calories over intensity. This info is useless unless the athlete applies it. So make sure they're willing to trust the🍉process and ignore clowns that don't know what they are talking about.🤓

Weight gain hack:

PB&J sandwiches

2 per day. Whenever you can't get a meal in or at night if you do

They do not need to be refrigerated (you read that right)

Many don't understand the difference between "grinding" and "doing what you're supposed to do"

Doing what you're asked to do to the best of your ability is the minimum

Great start to the week, the boys had the weight room busting at the seams this morning. Over 30 male athletes getting after it.

[Lewis Caralla @LewisCaralla]

If you want it all, don’t forget about the work.

[Jason Helmes @anymanfitness]

The number of people who have told me they don't want to look like a 'bodybuilder':

Too many to count.

The number of people I've coached who have gained muscle and been upset about it:

Zero.

Goes for men and women both.

Muscle gain is universally a good thing.

[Pat Basil @pbasilstrength]

I've tried all advanced methods you can think of

Bands, Chains, Specialty Bars, Triphasic, Machines, VBT, Clusters, Squat 5x/week, etc

All those considered, the best method for 99% of the athletes you'll work with is just progressive overload each week and consistency

#MaximizeTime #AccomplishMore

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

The weight room does a lot more than just build your body. It builds strong character & mental toughness. It strengthens weaknesses & reveals assertiveness. It shows who has drive & who fakes it. Through grit, it reveals who’ll quit & who won’t. Ultimately, it creates leaders!

[Pat Basil @pbasilstrength]

Culture is not a training goal

Culture is the end result of the standards you hold you people accountable to and what you tolerate happening

[PJ Lion Strong @PJLionStrong]

Motivation is extremely overrated.
