Who’s doing something fun this weekend? I’m teaching/training Jiu Jitsu this morning, gonna take advantage of the crazy Midwestern spring weather- you know in the 30’s yesterday, highs of 66 & 70 today & tomorrow then 47 on Monday… Tomorrow Michigan plays Tennessee in the Great 8. So I’ll be watching that. What do you have planned this weekend? Drop it in the comments below!

Hey Perform Crew! It's Friday! Let's celebrate some wins! Gotta admit this week has been pretty great! Here's what happened this week! Personal- - Had a PR this week w/Nordic Hamstring Curls- did 2 full Nordics - FINALLY got my shoulders to the wall semi comfortably on Couch Stretch after almost 5 years. I was pretty close in 2023 but then my appendix decided it wanted to move out so that set me back a couple of years... - Had a great week at Jiu Jitsu. Had a guy tell me "I love to train with you, but you are a hand full" I'll take that backhanded compliment 🤣 - Had a great discussion with my wife about her career direction. We are in for a big change in the next 2-5 years as we will be moving back to Michigan. So that will mean a bit of a change for her. Professional- - Had a couple of IG posts do really well this week- If anyone want to follow me here is my IG account - While the Nordic & Couch Stretch are personal wins they are also professional wins as well. They are proof of concept. If I can do it, so can others. - Speaking of IG. I had an old referral partner from Michigan join The Collective this week. I'm excited to help him get his knee sorted out and get him back to running/cycling & outperforming his old standards. - @Jerry Rivera & I had a productive week for this week on backstage stuff for the group. - I think we may have the app sorted out for a bit. It will be a place holder until we have the RBLD Collective App which will have the entire RBLD Outlier Operating System in it. Ok, enough about me. What have you been up to this week?

Most people over 40 treat their bodies like a high-end car they refuse to service until the engine light stays on. One of our RBLD Collective members asked me what she could do on Mondays when she’s buried in meetings and doesn't have a second to breathe. She needed a way to stay sharp without losing an hour of her day to a gym trip. Ask and ye shall receive. I put together a foot to head sequence that gets you out of the chair and back to work feeling human again. It takes 5, 10, or 15 minutes depending on what your calendar looks like. The problem is the "Just Rest" trap. We’ve been told that if we’re stiff from sitting at a desk, the fix is to just sit some more on the couch later. But that’s how you lose your edge. You aren’t getting "old" you’re just becoming stagnant because you’ve stopped maintaining the basic range of motion you need to stay in the game. If you let a desk chair dictate how you feel, you're going to find yourself watching from the sidelines while everyone else stays active. It doesn’t need to be a massive overhaul. You just need a predictable way to stay fluid that doesn't feel like a second job. The RBLD Mobility Blueprint is now live in the Classroom. It’s the exact shortcut to staying capable so you can actually use the strength you’ve worked for, even on your busiest days. I’m keeping it at $27 for the next 7 days to get it into the hands of the people in here who are done with the "feeling old" excuse. After that, the price goes up. Grab it in the Classroom tab. What’s the one spot that feels the tightest after a long day at your desk?

Age does weird things to the body. Over the past year, I have been getting less and less sleep and I could not quite put my finger on why. The strange thing was the inconsistency. One night I would get 7 hours, and the next I would be stuck at 5 or 6 without changing my bedtime. I think I have finally found the correlation & as cliche as it sounds. It's my water intake. I have realized that my sleep quality is decided about twelve hours before I hit the pillow: - 100 ounces on a normal day = 7+ hours of sleep. - 110 to 120 ounces on Jiu Jitsu days = 7+ hours of sleep. - Missing those marks = 5 or 6 hours of sleep. When I hit those 5-hour nights, I feel off and sluggish. I lose focus while I am working on my business and I do not have the usual energy during my movement practice. Being sharp for my business is something I take seriously. If my clarity is not there, it directly affects my clients and my team, and that is not something I will tolerate. This week, I am leading from the front to see if this theory holds up. I have been testing it for 10 days and the data is consistent. I am using my 40 ounce bottle to hit specific targets: - One full bottle before my morning movement. - Half a bottle during training and half after. - Another 20 to 40 ounces finished before 7:00 PM. I'm done guessing why I'm tired. What is the 1 habit you are going to work on this week to help you reach your goals? Drop it in the comments below.

Hey Perform Crew! It's Friday & that can only mean 1 thing. Time to celebrate our wins for the week! Here's mine: Personal - Knee is feeling much better in fact when I was at Jiu Jitsu on Tu & Th I didn't even think about it - Had 2 great Jiu Jitsu classes this week. We did 5-10 min rounds of live drilling. I'm very happy with where my overall fitness is at the moment - My wife's nephew was in town for work and we went out to dinner with him Professional - Had a great workshop last night. Thanks to @Mallory Collins & @Sonia Berglund for attending. - We are developing a Mobility Program that will be available next week- It will be $27 for 7 days and then go up to $47. You will be able to purchase it in the classroom. Watch for an announcement next week - I'm getting better at creating GPTs I created one for my IG/FB reels which is making it much easier for me to get my posts out. Now your turn! Post your wins below in the comments or post your own in the community!
