End of January Check-In
We're about 4 weeks into the year. Most guys who started something new on January 1st are hitting a wall right now.
The "New Year, New Me" energy is gone. The motivation has faded. The workouts that felt exciting in Week 1 now feel like obligations. Your body is sore. You're questioning if this is actually working.
This is the moment 80% of guys quit.
Where are you right now?
  • Started strong, now struggling? What changed?
  • Thinking about quitting? What's making you want to stop? Be honest.
  • Still going but not sure you're doing it right? What feels off?
  • Nailing it 4 weeks in? What's actually different about your approach?
We don't back off as we get older. We get smarter.
And you know what that means? If you're a guy who's been training smart for years, who's learned what actually works for a 40+ body, who's rebuilt yourself - you have something to teach.
So here's the deal:
New guys: Post your situation. Don't wait for me to answer. What's holding you back? Be specific.
Experienced guys: Reply. You know what works. Share it. 2-3 sentences. You're not writing a thesis - you're answering a brother.
The standards we're building here aren't just physical. They include showing up for each other.
Post it below. No perfect answers. Just the truth.
