THE WEEKLY GRIND — ISSUE #004 🦍

This one is for the women.

Strength isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about becoming harder to break, more capable, and ready for whatever comes next.

4 thoughts. 2 actions. 1 question.
Every Friday morning.

No fluff. No bu****it. Just something worth thinking about.

WINTER IS COMING. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT? 🦍

Most men will spend the next few months doing exactly what they always do.

Work.
Eat.
Drink.
Scroll.
Sit on their ass.
Tell themselves they’ll get serious after the holidays.

Then January arrives and they’re weaker, heavier, more tired, and wondering where the hell the year went.

Not us.

THE WINTER ARC is three months of deliberately becoming harder to kill.

🏋️ Strength training
🥩 Better nutrition and more protein
🚶 Daily movement
📖 Reading and journaling
😴 Better sleep and recovery
📵 Less mindless screen time
🍺 Less alcohol
🧊 Cold exposure and recovery
🎒 Optional weekend rucks

And three nights every week, we train together at GORILLA STRONG.

September 14 – December 17
Monday • Tuesday • Thursday
6:00 PM
Up to 60 minutes
Men Only
$150/month

This isn’t a transformation challenge.

There are no before-and-after selfies required.

This is about walking into the final weeks of 2026 stronger, leaner, sharper, more disciplined and more capable than you are right now.

Your family deserves that man.

Your woman will notice that man.

And when you look in the mirror, you’ll respect that man.

The cold months are coming either way.

YOU CAN HIBERNATE.

OR YOU CAN BUILD A FU***NG MONSTER. 🦍

THE WINTER ARC BEGINS SEPTEMBER 14.

❄️ GORILLA STRONG WINTER ARC

MEN ONLY | SEPTEMBER 14 – DECEMBER 17

MONDAY • TUESDAY • THURSDAY | 6:00 PM

Most men spend the last few months of the year getting softer.

More food.
More drinking.
More sitting.
More scrolling.
Less training.
Less discipline.

Then January rolls around and they suddenly decide it’s time to “get serious.”

Screw that.

The Winter Arc is the period when you deliberately disappear from the bu****it and go to work on yourself.

Your body.
Your strength.
Your discipline.
Your habits.
Your confidence.
Your life.

For roughly three months, while everybody else is coasting toward the holidays, you’re building the man you intend to become.

And at Gorilla Strong, we’re taking it seriously.

🦍 THE TRAINING

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 6:00 PM.

Classes will run up to an hour—and if the work requires longer, we finish the damn work.

Expect strength training, conditioning, carries, sleds, machines, bodyweight work and the kind of training that reminds you what you’re capable of.

Outside the class, you’ll still be expected to move.

Regular gym workouts.
Lifting.
Daily step goals.
And for men wanting more size, this is a perfect season to put some muscle on your frame.

🥩 THE NUTRITION

You don’t need another ridiculous diet.

You need to start eating like a grown man who actually gives a damn about his body.

Whole foods.
More protein.
Enough water.
Better decisions.

We’re not chasing perfection.

We’re building standards.

🧠 MINDSET + RECOVERY

Being strong isn’t just about what you can deadlift.

During the Winter Arc, we’re working on what’s between your ears too.

Journal.

Read.

Spend some time without noise.

Get your ass to bed.

Recover so you can attack tomorrow instead of dragging yourself through another day exhausted and pi**ed off.

⚔️ LIFESTYLE

Less mindless scrolling.

Less alcohol.

Earlier mornings.

Better routines.

More time actually doing something with your life instead of watching everybody else’s life through a screen.

Because here’s the uncomfortable truth:

You are considerably harder to kill when your life has structure.

And you’ll probably be a hell of a lot happier too.

More energy. More confidence. More purpose. More strength. More control.

And yes…

YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER IS PROBABLY GOING TO LOVE THIS VERSION OF YOU.

The guy who’s training again.

The guy who looks better.

The guy who has energy.

The guy who isn’t sitting around drinking beer and staring at his phone every night.

The guy who handles his s**t.

That’s attractive.

Not because you became someone else.

Because you finally started acting like the man you knew you could be.

This isn’t a 90-day weight-loss challenge.

It’s not a New Year’s resolution.

It’s not three months of motivational bu****it.

IT’S YOUR WINTER ARC.

While everybody else is shutting down for the year…

YOU’RE JUST GETTING STARTED.

MONDAY DOESN’T CARE HOW YOU FEEL.

The weekend is over.

You can spend today trying to “get motivated”…

Or you can get your ass moving.

Lift something heavy.
Get your heart rate up.
Eat like your goals actually matter.
Handle your business.
Go to bed knowing you did something today that made you stronger.

You don’t need a perfect week.

You need a STRONG MONDAY.

YOU TRAIN YOUR BODY. DON’T NEGLECT YOUR HEAD. 🦍

Every Friday morning, I’m sending out THE WEEKLY GRIND.

No motivational fluff.
No recycled fitness hacks.
No constant sales pitch.

Just 4 thoughts. 2 actions. 1 question.

Thoughts on strength, discipline, training, recovery, getting older, making mistakes, learning from them—and continuing to show up.

Some weeks it’ll be about lifting.
Some weeks it won’t.

But every issue will have something worth thinking about and something you can actually use.

THE WEEKLY GRIND.

NEW 5:30 PM CLASS — STARTING AUGUST 31

You’ve been saying you need to get stronger.

You’ve been saying you need to get back in shape.

You’ve been saying you’ll start when work slows down, the kids’ schedules settle down, or life gets a little less crazy.

Here’s your chance to stop waiting.

Beginning Monday, August 31, Gorilla Strong is opening a new 5:30 PM coached fitness class.

MONDAY • TUESDAY • THURSDAY
⏰ 5:30 PM
💪 Up to 60 minutes
💰 $75/month

This class is built especially for women who want to be strong, lean, conditioned and confident—whether you’re 35, 45, 55 or beyond.

And yes, men are welcome too.

You do not need to already be fit.

You do not need to know your way around a barbell.

You do not need to train like a 22-year-old athlete.

You just need to show up ready to work.

We’ll combine strength training, functional movements, conditioning and intelligent progression to build a body that doesn’t just look better—it performs better.

No wandering around wondering what to do.

No random workouts.

You show up. We coach. You work. You get stronger.

And because we want some NEW BLOOD in the gym…

🔥 ASK US ABOUT OUR 2-FOR-1 SPECIAL. 🔥

Grab your spouse.
Grab your friend.
Grab your coworker.
Grab the person who keeps saying, “I need to start working out too.”

August 31. 5:30 PM.

Three days a week.

One decision to finally get started.

DM Gorilla Strong now and tell us you want a spot in the 5:30 class.

COLDER ISN’T ALWAYS BETTER.

You don’t need a tub full of ice—or a 20-minute battle with hypothermia—to benefit from cold-water immersion.

Research commonly uses water around 50–59°F, making 50–58°F for up to five minutes a practical range for most healthy adults.

Potential benefits include:

Reduced post-workout soreness and perceived fatigue
Improved short-term recovery
A possible reduction in stress later in the day
Potential improvements in sleep and quality of life
Greater alertness and mental resilience

A 2025 systematic review involving 3,177 participants reported:

“Several potential benefits, including a reduction in stress 12 hours post-CWI.”

The researchers also observed possible improvements in sleep quality and quality of life—but emphasized that more high-quality research is still needed.

Start with 1–2 minutes. Build toward five. Control your breathing. Earn your recovery.

One warning for serious lifters: frequent cold plunging immediately after strength training may interfere with muscle growth. Use it strategically—after conditioning, during demanding competition periods, or on recovery days.

# # OVER 40? STOP TRAINING LIKE YOU’RE 25—AND STOP TRAINING LIKE YOU’RE 80.

Getting older doesn't mean getting weak.

But it DOES mean you need to stop training like recovery doesn't matter—and stop treating yourself like you're too old to lift heavy, build muscle, and push your conditioning.

At Gorilla Strong, we train adults 40, 50, 60+ who still want to be **strong, capable, conditioned, and hard to kill.**

That means:

💪 Build and maintain real strength
🔥 Keep the muscle you've earned—and build more
🫀 Train your conditioning
⚙️ Move well and stay capable
🛌 Respect recovery without using age as an excuse
🎯 Follow intelligent programming instead of random workouts

You don't need watered-down “senior fitness.”

And you don't need to destroy yourself every workout trying to prove you're still 25.

**You need a plan. You need progression. You need consistency.**

That's how you keep doing the things you love.

That's how you stay independent.

That's how you remain dangerous long after everyone else decides to slow down.

**You're not too old to train hard. You're too old to keep training without a plan.**
