Ask yourself this: Are you getting stronger, getting weaker, or staying the same? If the answer isn’t stronger, it may be time to rethink your training strategies!
Strength isn’t just about performance — growing evidence continues to connect muscle mass and strength with longevity and quality of life.
So what are you waiting for?
Real strength takes time. It takes structured programming, discipline, and years of consistent work. Unlike cardiovascular fitness, which can improve dramatically in 8–12 weeks, building high-level absolute strength is a long-term investment.
The athlete in this video, 17-year-old 55kg lifter Diego (.diegoo), is squatting 2x bodyweight and deadlifting nearly 3x bodyweight. That didn’t happen overnight — it came from commitment, patience, and hard work. Diego is a specially talented young man, but he’s not the only one working with 2,3 times their body weight for reps inside of NoRespecr4Gravity He also holds a current box jump height of a whopping 50”! Standing at approximately 5’5” (on a tall day) that is a massive display of athleticism and explosive power!

It’s starting to feel like a losing battle 😅
I guess he knows best… right?
Training like it’s a full time job around here 😅
What started as a hobby has turned into something that we can’t live without
Sometimes negative self talk is what it takes to hit a lift 🤷🏻♀️

Anyone else feel personally victimized by their coach 😅
Either coach knows how to push his athletes or he’s just a bully…
Do we think actually squatted heavier or what? His sn**ch and and clean and jerk are pretty impressive so we know he’s good at Olympic lifting, at least while he is with team no respect for gravity
