🎯 Work Within, Then Beyond (“Occasionally!”)

Working within your limits and mastering the movements is a long game. ⏳ there is always improvements to be made.

It takes patience to learn a move, to really know the move whether a squat or deadlift, Get up or press
If you hit a PB, resist the urge to keep piling on more!

The goal is getting better, not just doing more. Fatigue and sloppy form? That’s a fast track to injury. If you measure your success by how wrecked you feel, you’re on the road to breakdowns.
Remember fatigue is never a good teacher!

✅ Practice > Maxing Out. Most of your work? Keep it in that 65-85% zone. Occasionally test the limits but build the foundation first! There are no prizes for getting injured!

As I get older I value keeping moving well, being pain free than maxing out and hitting a PB, at 54, it is a risk vs reward question that I ask myself!

You have power over your morning. You have power over your mind, sometimes we just need to rest, recover & recharge!

📱 When my phone kept buzzing with notification after notification, I noticed tension creeping in.
My breath held, my stress rising. It’s a powerful reminder: you control those notifications. You choose who and what gets space in your environment. Take the power back, your peace is worth more than any ring/notification tone.

So before you start the chaos of the day, steer your mind, pause, be comfortable just sitting in silence focus on your breath…….
Your future self will thank you.

Don’t let the scroll steal your soul!

Own Your Mind, Own your Morning, Own Your Life

Stop scrolling first thing in the morning! Your mind should belong to you, not to the algorithms, emails, messages etc.

The problem in this day and age we are contactable 24/7 and we feel that we have to respond immediately!

As Marcus Aurelius said: “You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realise this, and you will find strength.”
Probably nowadays we need to say, “You have power over your notification buttons, not others’ demands. Realise this and you’ll find peace.” Messages do not require an immediate response.
Value your health, your mind and your body, it is the only place you have to live!

So stop allowing the scroll steal your soul, take back your power before your first coffee! That strength only comes when you stop letting external forces dictate your headspace. Algorithms know exactly how to pull you in. Reclaim your morning, your thoughts, and ultimately, your life.

Move first, feel better and start strong! ✨

Begin your day with intentional movement, before the emails, before social media, no heaviness, just fluid flow.

Move through every plane: open your hips, unlock your thoracic spine, free your shoulders. Move the joints……As your body opens, your mind does too. 🌬️

Light, flowing, fluid movement and the perfect reset before the day takes hold. 🌟

I had the pleasure of working with and learning from this gentleman, , this weekend and the honour of teaching part of the Resilient Get-Up series.

And nothing beats time spent with my StrongFirst brothers & sisters.

Thank you, Pavel and thank you to my extended strength family.

You all rock. 🤘
