Todays training session was a lung burner. Train with a purpose, and that purpose should be keeping your loved ones safe and to be “to hard to kill”. Your family, your crew, and your community rely on you being mentally and physically fit. The world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. ***ngwork
48 years old, 218lbs, and literally full of titanium. Pulled 505lbs off the ground at the end of a leg day. Wasn’t a planned PR till I watched him pull his previous PR for a triple with ease. I’m so fu***ng proud of this guy and how hard he works, no excuse, he gets it done.

Your gut is the beginning of all functions in the body. If you dump garbage into it, you will feel accordingly. Eating right is not about “a look” it’s about proper body functions such as hormone balance, mental health, immune system effectiveness, etc. That being said too much false information is out there about what’s “good” and “bad”. Red meat is NOT bad for you, a little dessert is NOT bad for you, fat doesn’t make you fat, CARBS ARENT BAD FOR YOU!!! If you over consume anything it can have negative effects. The only thing bad for you are pointless fad diets like the 30 day fix, keto, cleanses, carnivore, etc. they don’t teach sustainability and have to much restriction, leading to rebounds after people fall off the wagon. Eat Whole Foods, eat a variety of foods, practice moderation, and learn how to count macros.

One of my guys setting a new deadlift PR 305 after 5 previous sets. Excited to see the progress!! Glad to have him as part of the F.I.R.E. Fit family!
doing some heavy movement today! 270lb yoke, 200lb farmers carry, 75lb keg run. 6 rounds and each implement is carried 60’.
🚨PSA🚨
deadlifts ARE NOT “bad for your back”. Lifting with s**t form is bad for your back. Squats are not bad for your knees. Improper muscle activation/stability and s**t form is bad for your knees. Lifting heavy and with high intensity is not bad for you. Poor form, lack of muscle activation, poor mobility/flexibility, ego lifting, and poor recovery habits are bad for you, not lifting.
—Do some lifts have some inherent risk? Absolutely, but the risk is usually only brought on or heightened by poor habits. Frequent lifting, heavy lifting included, has many benefits.
👍🏻 increased bone density
👍🏻 increased lean muscle mass
👍🏻 increased connective tissue strength
👍🏻 increased intramuscular coordination and recruitment
👍🏻 increased cardiovascular health
👍🏻 higher metabolism boost than cardio
Things to do to keep yourself healthy especially during heavy lifting cycles.
🔴 WARM UP!! Especially your glutes, hamstrings, lats & core
🔴don’t ego lift. When form starts failing that’s your TRUE max
🔴post lift stretching and mobility work
🔴EAT!!! High Protein, moderate carbs, & fats (screw keto and all those dumb fad diets)
🔴listen to your body, it will tell you when to let up
🔴stay hydrated. Lifting heavy is taxing on the body. Add electrolytes into you water through out the day
