I have HYROX Houston this weekend. Looks like Saturday evening. I’ll be driving down there from Dallas Friday and stay the night. Utilizing our interval training has got me far. I’ve crushed the first two and am on to my third and soon my solo debut in NEW YORK! 🎼 concrete jungle wet dream tomatos🎵 At any rate I’ve been incorporating more jump rope and running 🏃 into my trading cause let’s totally destroy my HR so when game day comes we coast through the motions. Let’s here what has a competition of any kind coming up???

This is going to be shooting from the hip. I want to build a brand, a recognizable entity where all roads point to me and this system. Building strength and power should not be secondary to how you look. It should be first and foremost. I want people, when they think about getting strong, to understand that you build a foundation first, and what you look like is just a byproduct of that. It’s going to be something first responders adhere to. It’s going to be something children can walk into and function completely. It’s going to be something used by people rehabbing from back surgery, which I have done, or rehabbing from a plate being put in their leg, which I have also done. It’s going to resonate with office workers who sit all day and want to understand how to get out of that monotony, rather than going to the gym and facing more boring repetitions. I want them walking in fueled with energy, stepping into a powerhouse workout where they can throw a sandbag around or swing a mace into a tire. It’s going to be amazing.

This is the foundation. If we’re serious about building raw, transferable power, we start with the sandbag. Not because it’s trendy. Not because it’s fun. Because it tells the truth. A sandbag exposes your hinge, your posture, your ability to produce force without perfect balance or mechanical assistance. You can’t cheat it. You either load correctly, brace correctly, and move it with intent or it folds you. That’s exactly why it matters here. I’m not interested in working around it or skipping ahead. It’s non-negotiable for this academy. The sandbag teaches you how to use your back, hips, and core the way they’re supposed to work together. Once that’s in place, everything else opens up. Kettlebells get sharper. Clubs and maces make more sense. Landmine work becomes explosive instead of sloppy. But without the sandbag first, you’re building on sand. So here’s what I need from everyone before we move forward. Comment and tell me what you have access to. 50 lbs. 75 lbs. 100 lbs. If you don’t have one yet, say that too. This isn’t gatekeeping. It’s standards. We start here, we earn the right to branch out, and we build real strength from the ground up.

Consistency beats motivation every single time. Motivation is emotional, unreliable, and comes and goes. Consistency is a decision. Some days you will feel fired up. Most days you will not. That is normal. Nothing has gone wrong. Progress is built on boring reps, showing up when it would be easier not to, and stacking small wins even when your energy is low. This page exists for that exact reason. If you feel yourself slipping, getting overwhelmed, or questioning why you even started, use this space. Post. Comment. Lurk if you have to. Lean on the group instead of disappearing. Strength is not built in isolation and neither is discipline. If you are behind, you are still in it. If your motivation is gone, consistency can carry you forward. Stay here. Stay plugged in. Keep moving. So ask yourself this honestly: when things get hard, do you step away from the work, or do you step closer to the people and habits that will actually carry you through?

Hey coach!! I see all the content you post on your experiences with Hyrox and I can’t help but feel fomo!🤣 I want to sign up for my first event, but due to my competitive nature, I need to train for this before I do. Do you have any training splits in preparation for the Hyrox? Any tips, suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for being my inspiration on starting something new!
