Daru Strong Club — How to Navigate & Win Every Day
Welcome to the Daru Strong Club. This is your training ground for total human optimization—mind, body, and spirit. The goal is simple: build discipline, stack small wins, and grow with a community that holds you to a higher standard. Inside, you’ll post daily, track progress, learn, and get direct coaching in live Q&As. Below is your clear, step-by-step playbook. Save it. Use it. Live it. Quick Orientation (what’s where) - Home / Community Feed: Daily posts, announcements, wins, and conversations. - Classroom / Courses: Programs, templates, and resources. - Calendar / Events: Live Q&A schedule and upcoming sessions. - Members: Connect, DM, and form accountability squads. - Search: Find posts, topics, or answers fast (use keywords like “ruck,” “nutrition,” “mindset”). - Notifications / DMs: Turn on notifications so you don’t miss live calls, replies, or tags. Tip: Pin important posts (rules, starter guides, templates) and follow the “Announcements” category. Daily Operating System (Mon–Sun) Do these in order. They take 10–15 minutes and set the tone for your day. 1) Affirmations (post in Affirmations) When: First thing in the morning—before life gets loud. Why: Prime your nervous system, align intention with action. How: Keep it short, specific, and identity-based. Template: - I am ______ (identity you’re building) - Today I will ______ (one non-negotiable action) - I reject ______ (distraction or vice)Example:“I am a disciplined father and athlete. Today I will complete my training block and 20 minutes of mobility. I reject excuses.” 2) Public Journal (post in Public Journal) When: Morning or midday. Why: Transparency creates accountability; clarity beats motivation. How: Three prompts—keep it real. Template: - What I’m feeling / thinking: ______ - What I’m focused on today: ______ - Obstacle & plan: ______ → ______Example:“Feeling under-recovered. Focus: hydration + protein. Obstacle: late meetings → Plan: train at 6 pm, prep shake at 5:30.”
Organic Growth
Our work is beginning to speak beyond these walls. The response from the public is earned, not manufaz ed. We did not chase clout. We built standards. We stayed consistent. Now the results travel further than any advertisement could. Reputation forged through discipline carries more weight than marketing ever will. The work speaks. And people are listening.
Unpredictable by chance or adaptable by choice
I recently started training 2 individuals who are interested in boxing and are completely green. I was going over the importance of the fundamentals and this thought came to mind. Think of a jab and all ots variations that it could be thrown. Its very unpredictable. Now think of a fighter: Ali, Homes, Hearns, Haglar. Different fighting styles but they all adapted the jab to complement they way they fought. The fundamentals gives you the choice to learn what works for you to make it your own. Often I come across individuals who sees a move on social media and merely wants to copy it without putting in the work to understand the science behind it.
Training
Back in the gym after a while. Been a bit off and allowed myself to make excuses to be perfectly blunt. Today’s weight session was full body and the intention was for me to simply get in there and a total body stimulus. Working largely with RIR 2-3 for the most part. Get in and build momentum again. Infinitely better than getting no stimulus. Warm Up 1. Skipping x 3 minutes - prime body (ankles and knees in particular) and also allow raise in core temp 2. Animal Crawls and Hip 90-90 Switches - full body mobility 3. Mix of extensive ballistics and plyometrics- movement exploration, play and coordination. Priming body Primary Strength A. Leg Press: 3x6/5/6 - RIR 2-3 (2 min) Secondary Strength B. Seated Press: 3x8/6/6 - RIR 1-2 (2 min) Accessories C1. Chin Ups: 3x8/8/7 - RIR 1-2 (30s) C2. Leg Curl: 3x12 - RIR 2 (90s) D. Close Grip Bench: 3x12/10/6 - RIR 1-2 (90s) Resilience E1. Neck Curls: 2x20 - RIR 2 E2. Half Kneeling Cable Rotations: 2x6 p/s - RIR 2 General Cardio: 30 minute Incline Walk - been off the mark with steps, using rain as an excuse so getting movement in. Double up as a cool down

Personal Journal (2021)
Key idea : Home is not a place fixed in geography, but a feeling carried within. Time changes locations, but identity and belonging live in the heart. How I’ll apply it today: I’ll stop searching for grounding in external places or circumstances and instead anchor myself internally—through presence, values, and consistency—knowing I carry “home” wherever I go. Personal Journal entry: 2021 Ten years ago, I left the embrace of home, carrying with me a heart full of memories. Each visit back to family and friends revealed the subtle shifts of time. The streets of my childhood, once so familiar, transformed, and the family home was sold, its walls now strangers to me. My hometown, a place I once knew intimately, evolved beyond recognition. In these moments, I realized that home is not a physical place but a feeling carried within. It dawned on me that home resides in the heart, and as long as my heart beats, I am always home. Home is no longer a destination; it is a resonance that lives within me.
