Philosophies on Strength Training
Trainer vs. Coach
A trainer is someone who simply teaches exercises.
As a coach, my level of expectation is way higher, the motivation is much higher, the work is much harder. I want a lot more, and expect to accomplish a lot more in every session. By holding my clients to a higher standard, I obtain a higher level of results from those who bring the heart.
Training
Strength is fundamental. Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual strength must be trained to become indestructible.
If you do not know your weaknesses, someone will find them for you.
We only have one body, this one vehicle is supposed to last us the rest of our lives - so please take care of it!
The body is works as a unit, not in segments - train your body as a whole, and you will get your results faster.
A part of your training should be geared towards better, more fluid movement. Do a little every day!
If most people focused on strength and building a stronger body, their lives would greatly improve, and their results would come much faster.
Quotes to live by -
Dan John has been a huge influence on the my training style and beliefs. These are some of his most famous quotes that I live by, these quotes work in life, love, and lifting:
“If its important, do it everyday.”
“The number one rule to success is to show up!”
“Look at your goals. Look at your behavior. Does your behavior match your goals?”
“The goal is to keep the goal, the goal.” - (My favorite - don’t lose sight of your goal!)
*******
The point is to make yourself better everytime you set foot in the gym, just make yourself better 1% everyday, and think about where you will be a week from now, or a month from now.
Reach higher, get better everyday, and learn to expect more of yourself.
Stay strong,
Joey
