👀 You know what January is? A built-in checkpoint.

A fresh start. A gut check. A chance to stop winging it and actually train with a system.

That’s why we’re launching the next LIVE cohort of The Starrett System in January ➡️ to help you build real capacity, resilience, and long-term durability from the ground up.

We’re talking:
🔹 Smart, progressive strength & conditioning programming
🔹 Mobility baked into your training (not an afterthought)
🔹 Weekly live coaching with me and Juliet
🔹 Tools & actionable ways to manage stress, recovery, nutrition
🔹 An incredible community that wants to train hard, recover harder, and feel amazing doing it (you’ll probably end up posting pics of your pets along the way, too… it’s that kind of fam vibe)

This is about training for the long haul. Not chasing your old PR. Not punishing yourself after the holidays.

Just building a body that can do… for decades.

🧭 We start MONDAY, January 12th!

And because we want your new year to start off extra strong… we are currently offering $200 off! Squirrel away that extra $$$ for some nutrient-dense treats! 😉

Let’s go. 🙌

Regression training is coaching gold.

Not a backup plan. Not a failure. A real strategy.

If you're coaching a team or just trying to keep your own training consistent… you already know ➡️ Someone’s gonna show up with a tweak, a flare-up, a “my knee hurts” moment.

And when that happens? Don’t punt. Don’t bench. Don’t say “go hop on the bike.”

Instead, regress the movement, not the athlete.
✅ Make it simpler
✅ Tighten the range
✅ Slow it down
✅ Keep the spirit of training intact

That’s how we keep people in the session, in the community, and progressing for life.

It’s not flashy. But I’ll go on record and say it’s one of the most important tools in the coaching toolbox.

Fiber: the most slept-on performance supplement in the game. 🥦

Hat tip to our guy for flagging this absolute beast of a study ➡️ Researchers recently dropped an umbrella review covering 33 meta-analyses, 38 health outcomes, and 17 million people.

Their main finding? If you eat more fiber, you die less.

Seriously.
📊 High-fiber eaters had:
✔️ 42% lower risk of pancreatic cancer
✔️ 26% lower risk of diverticular disease
✔️ 18% lower risk of cardiovascular death
✔️ And “highly suggestive” protection from all-cause mortality & heart disease

Why? Fiber smooths out blood sugar. Feeds gut microbes. Binds cholesterol. Keeps your colon from becoming a pressure cooker.

And still… most people barely hit half the recommended daily intake.

🧠 Here’s what I tell our athletes: Don’t count grams. Count habits.

➡️ Hit one fruit, one big veg, and one high-fiber carb every day (beans, lentils, oats).

➡️ Build it into your defaults; add it to stuff you’re already eating.

This is the kind of simple shift you can integrate into your new year routine.

We are all about nourishing ourselves in ways our present AND future selves will high-five us for. 🙌

🚨 Today’s the day. The Durability Challenge is officially HERE.

If you’re still on the fence, here are 5 things I really wish everyone understood about getting stronger (especially after 35):

1️⃣ You need a real strength & conditioning plan (not random workouts).
2️⃣ Mobility isn’t optional. If your body can’t move well, it can’t get stronger.
3️⃣ You don’t need a full hour… little chunks do count (never do nothing!)
4️⃣ You’ve gotta eat like it matters. Protein, fruits, veggies. Every day.
5️⃣ Sleep isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation that holds all of this together.

The Durability Challenge is your chance to see how we stack all of that — strength, mobility, recovery, and habits — into one powerful system.

🧠 Built for busy people.
💪 Tested by high performers.
✅ Free for 7 days (your insider’s look into The Starrett System!)
🎁 Prizes on prizes from our pals .momentous, (& all-access training passes up for grabs).

You’ve got nothing to lose… except pain, burnout, and excuses.

👇 Comment CHALLENGE, and we’ll get you started today.

I know what it’s like to have your body fail you.

In my 20s, I had Olympic dreams… until a neck injury ended my career. 🫠

Not because the injury was so bad… but because I didn’t have the tools to deal with it.

Fast forward to 2017. A brutal ski crash shattered my leg.

But this time was different. I’d spent the last decade building durability.
I treated it like a sprain and kept training, biking, skiing, & chasing life.
Four months after a total knee replacement, I pulled 575 lbs off the floor pain-free.

I’m not telling you this story as some big flex… it’s to tell you that none of this came from sheer luck.

This is what a durable body is capable of.

🧠💪 If you want to feel better, recover faster, and stay active for life, join me & on January 5th for our FREE 7-Day Durability Challenge.

You'll get real training, real mobility, & the 5 habits we use to build resilience every damn day (plus a chance to win $3K+ in prizes from .momentous, !)

If your squat starts in chaos, don’t expect it to end in glory.⁠ 🏋️‍♂️

One of the biggest upgrades you can make to your performance is learning to respect the start position.

Before you move a barbell, hit a sprint, or drop into a lunge, ask:
👉 Am I organized as possible?
👉 Am I being consistent across reps using the same technique?
👉 Am I set up to finish strong?

Your body loves consistency.

So when the beginning of the rep looks like a dumpster fire, your brain and tissues are just trying to survive the chaos, not produce power.

This is one of the most overlooked keys to pain-free training. And it’s one of the first things we teach at The Ready State.

Get your tunnel right. The rest will follow.

Strength training has come a long way. So why does it feel harder than ever to know what to do? 🤷

Over the last 20 years, training has evolved fast: more tools, more tech, more knowledge. That’s the good news.

Swipe through Instagram or YouTube, and you’ll see a thousand “expert” opinions… and no clear path.

But we believe the answer is simple ➡️ Bring a high-performance lens to your everyday training so you can move better, feel stronger, & stay durable for the long haul.

🏁 That’s exactly what you’ll get during our FREE 7-Day Durability Challenge, starting January 5th:

🛠️ A live kickoff call with myself &
🛠️ 4 strength & conditioning workouts
