Hey everyone 👋🏽 I’ve been working on rebuilding my body after some back and sciatic issues, and focusing on strength has made a big difference. I’m a LTL driver, so staying mobile and consistent matters. I joined The Forge to keep building a solid foundation and stay on track long-term. Looking forward to being here.

Hey MRC! It's Friday and that means we get to look back over the past 7 days and celebrate our wins! Remember no win is to big or to small. I'm including both my personal and professional wins and you can do the same if you'd like. Personal - Got to watch our son Gabe coach his wrestling team to a win last night. It's so much fun watching him coach - Had a great week of working out. Made improvements on my Split Squat, Incline Press, Nordics & Front Squats felt really good this week - Thought I might have to replace my power steering pump on my car. Nope, turns out -39F for a couple of days can freeze your power steering fluid and -9F is warm enough for it to thaw out 🤣 Professional - RBLD Collective Members had a great week of progress. It's super fun to watch them improve. - I have a 66% increase on my IG/FB posts. I've had a couple of old clients/friends from Michigan reach out to me about RBLD. - @Jerry Rivera and I have made some massive improvements to the RBLD Outlier Operating System over the past two weeks. It's becoming the transformation system I set out to build when we started working on RBLD last June. We also are working on a GPT that will help us make it even better! Ok, enough of me, what are your wins for the past 7 days? Drop a comment below! 👇

🎥 Restoration Lab Replay: Strategy Over Sweat This week’s Restoration Lab tackled a hard truth for disciplined people over 40: Working harder is often what’s keeping you stuck. When progress stalls, most people respond with: - More volume - More intensity - More consistency Earlier in life, that worked, Now it often backfires. The key shift from the session: Your body adapts to the direction of stress — not just the amount. When patterns are off, effort doesn’t build capacity, It reinforces compensation, increases mechanical debt, and shortens the time between flare-ups. That’s why consistency alone stops working.Repeating the wrong inputs just makes the problem permanent — and disciplined people feel this first. We also reframed the real question: Not what to do or how hard to train —but what stress your body is actually ready to adapt to right now. This wasn’t about sweating more. It was about knowing when effort helps — and when it hurts. 👇 Watch the replay above Next, we’ll break down how intelligent sequencing — not harder training — rebuilds strength, resilience, and confidence after 40.
