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! 👇

Last week, we broke down why the injury cycle keeps repeating and why pain is a lagging indicator. This week, we’re digging into the next layer: Why working harder often makes things worse after 40. Most of us respond to setbacks the same way: - Go harder - Think we are the problem - Go down endless rabbit holes searching for the "next thing" The problem? Effort w/out strategy leaves us spinning our wheels & leads to frustration. When patterns are off, hard work doesn’t rebuild capacity, it reinforces compensation.That’s why disciplined people often flare up faster than casual ones. This session isn’t about workouts or exercises.It's about learning when effort actually helps and when it hurts. If you’ve ever felt like: - Consistency stopped paying off - Training made you feel less resilient, not more - You’re one wrong move away from another setback This will click. 👇 Comment I'm in & we will see you tonight!

Hey MRC Crew! Happy Monday morning! How’d your weekend go? It was pretty 🥶 here this weekend so we stayed inside for most of the weekend. I’m hoping we get a little warmer weather soon & more snow so Melissa and I can go snowshoeing. I made this great chicken thigh/broccoli sheet pan recipe last night. It was quick to prep -though I would probably let the chicken sit in the marinade for longer, took about 40-45 min in the oven and tasted great! Definitely adding it to the rotation especially if I’m crunched for time.

Hey MRC Crew! It's Friday & that means it's time to look back over the week and celebrate our wins! Here are mine. Drop yours in the comments below! Personal - Had a great week in the gym this week & hit a number of PRs- Here's a set of Powell raises 1x10@15#. I can remember when 5# felt like super heavy.... - Had a really good Jiu Jitsu practice yesterday - Had a date night with Melissa on Wednesday- We went and saw Song Sung Blue. Great movie, sad but very good. Professional - @Jerry Rivera really came through this week and made a huge improvement for Collective Members with an upgrade as to how The Compass is delivered & integrating it into the rest of the Outlier Operating System (OOS) - Jerry and I had a great call with @Eric Hodgdon this week. We discussed further improvements to my new IG/FB strategy and the email campaign we are using - My new IG/FB strategy has generated 4 1-1 calls this week from old clients/colleagues Remember we celebrate our wins each week to protect our confidence and to keep our momentum going. No wins are "too small" and posting them may inspire someone else to keep going when things get rough.

On Tuesday’s Restoration Lab, we broke down why disciplined folks like us keep ending up back in pain, Even when they’re doing “everything right.” Here’s the core idea: You rebuild momentum… Then a knee, back, or shoulder flares up. You rest. You feel better. You start again. Same cycle. Different body part. This isn’t laziness or aging. It’s using work ethic to solve a problem that requires strategy. Pain is a lagging indicator. By the time something hurts, stress has been accumulating for years. Your body compensates until it can’t — and that flare-up is the bill coming due. That’s why ice, stretching, and generic rehab only quiet the alarm.They never show you where the actual problem is. This isn’t about finding a better workout. It's about removing the anxiety of waiting for something to break. 👇 Watch the replay. Next week we’ll dive into why hard work alone often makes this worse & what Strategy Over Sweat really means.
