Today Adrian runs a solo episode that helps highlight, in his opinion what the differences are between "training" and "working out". Both have their place and he has dabbled in both, mostly working out at this point in his life now. But the key takeaways are how to understand the application of both and who should consider changing their mindset around how they approach things in the gym based on what they want to get out of it.

In this episode Adrian begins a series about destroying obstcles that often exist between our optimal health and well being and where we currently find ourselves.

Today Adrian discusses his thoughts on the qualifier that just finished up last weekend. Was it thorough enough? What did he like about the 5 workouts, what he didn't like about the 5 workouts and everything in between. From a general perspective the opinion is, No. The test overall was not thorough enough to allow only 40 athletes to qualify between the Elite and RX categories. Had this been the first stage of a multi level qualification process then it was awesome. Great workouts to thing...

Ever struggle with performance goals in the gym? The trap is that you do MORE, or go HARDER. Typically most athletes that hit plateaus need rest and recovery. More sleep, more fuel, less stress, then with the introduction of proper training the results can flow. This is the case in life as well. We often need to step back, recharge our batteries and then strategize new approaches. Rest more.

Easier to teach an animal, "Whooaa, now..." than it is to teach "sick 'em!" Today Adrian speaks on aggresor vs. responder and how it is much easier in any walk of life to deal with a human that wants to do too much vs. one that wants to do too little. Many of us are aggressive to the point of set back or failure, but it can be corrected with good coaching and mentorship. On the other hand it is much harder to evoke the opposite response in someone who is timid, soft or faithless in their own...
