Once or twice a year, we run our THRIVE small group folks through a 12-week Tri-phasic tempo strength training cycle.
During these 12 weeks, we most definitely lift some weight (daily, almost) and we do so slowly and with long pauses in weak and vulnerable positions of the lift.
“Why the hell would you do that? Why not just lift the dang weight?”
3 reasons:
→ Tendon and connective tissue health: Long, heavy contractions build joint resilience. Moving weights slow = training tendons.
→ Increased time under tension (TUT): Slower reps equates to keeping the the system under more tension. More tension = more gainz in all areaz.
→ It’s safer: Lighter loads lifted slowly allow for better control, enhanced movement quality and overall safer movement.
If you want to get strong, all while building titanium joints and carbon fiber tendons, slow down.
Slow is strong folks.

No excuses. Just work.
Think about the outcome, not the work.
It’s Summer down here in Texas and it’s hot.
So hot that it becomes a deterrent to choosing to partake in things we really know we should butttttt…
..are hesitant to because, well, it’s hot.
Nonsense.
Here’s a perspective shift that may help.
Treat your walk like another workout.
Expect to be uncomfortable.
Expect to sweat.
Expect to breathe harder than normal.
And most importantly, expect the rewarding sensations of post workout endorphins and the accomplishment of doing hard 💩.
When people go on a beach vacation, they don’t think about the early flight, the airport food, the packing and sitting next to “that guy” on the flight. They think about sitting on the beach with their toes in the sand, enjoying their favorite drink.
They think about the end destination, not all the nuance of traveling.
Do the same thing.
Think about the outcome of doing the work, not the actual work.
Changing your perspective is all it takes to saying yes. Saying yes leads to doing.
Give it a try next time and see what happens.

We get really fired up to work ourselves out of a job.
Because that means we did our job.
Help solve unique problems that most people originally believed there wasn’t a solution for.
Nothing more fulfilling in our eyes, even if that means that’s the end of the road to our care.
That means people can get back to their lives, doing the things they love to do, but with more strength, more resilience, more capacity and more confidence.
Mission accomplished.
If you have “tried everything” and feel like you’re at the crossroads of throwing in the towel, don’t.
Let’s talk.
