No Weak Links Week 1

May 5

Welcome.

I've had this idea for a long time now. One of my favorite trainers on Instagram will get the credit for me having confidence to start this. His name is Ben Bruno. When I find somebody that I admire, I research EVERYTHING I can find on that person. For those of you who don't know who Ben is, the part of me that relates to him is that I am a sarcastic funny asshole (or at least I'd like to think so). He's a personal trainer in California who honestly doesn't look very sharp, but after reading so many articles he wrote, I realize again you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

So here we are on a late Sunday night. Forgive me if this list isn't extensive, I just started grabbing stuff Thursday night.

Here’s to the beginning of a weekly compilation of things I think that can help your mindset, help with workouts/nutrition, and last but not least, can make you laugh :)

Also, keep in mind nothing works out as good as you think it will the first time. So here's to fucking up on my first at bat...

1. Great Leaders Do What Drug Addicts Do

Mike explains how 3 principles turned his life around from drug addiction and homelessness to developing a multimillion dollar company that’s changing the health industry. I want to start this off with this video because I love a comeback story and this one made me emotional a couple times.

2. Joe Rogan How To Workout Smarter

Do you like training intensely or for volume? Meaning would you rather train 2-3x/week hard or 5-6 days/week at a lesser intensity?

3. The Kim Kardashian Vampire Facial

4. No one ever increased their squat by skipping their warm ups…

5. I’ve been thinking about how to make regress/progress this w/o assistance.

Looks simple but you should try this exercise out with your friend when you have the chance

6A. Here’s a post about form videos I did for a few clients. Maybe this could help you as well
