Monday Mindset: SCHEDULE POWER
Monday Mindset: SCHEDULE POWER
I have a cheat code for building consistency.
By nature, I'm easily distracted. In order to combat this tendency, I recognized that I have to double down on the power of scheduling.
While I love to-do lists, scheduling is much more strategic. I'm constantly filtering my daily task list through the filter of what I call my Why Factors (the three things that steer the direction in my life). I think this is the difference between being busy and being productive.
Giving you some granular examples, there are two primary steps that keep me focused. First is to schedule everything on my calendar (even personal and family time). Second, is to identify the one thing each day that's non-negotiable to get done. I highly recommend Gary Keller's book "The One Thing".
As a bonus step, each morning I write those tasks for the day on a small sticky note along with my one thing to rehearse and lock it in.
This week let's continue to focus the noise and instead of letting the world happen to us, let's make an impact on the world. 💪

CONSISTENCY OVER INTENSITY
มุมมอง 142 หลายเดือนก่อน
Monday Mindset: CONSISTENCY OVER INTENSITY Sprinters are amazing athletes. They are fast, powerful and their intensity is very high. However, their race is short and in a flash, it's done. When I'm talking with new clients, I explain how consistency is much more important than intensity. The results that most of us are working towards, are more of a marathon versus a sprint. This includes physi...
Close Grip Barbell Bench Press With Chains
มุมมอง 107ปีที่แล้ว
On this exercise set the chain length so that they don't leave contact with the ground at full lockout. I prefer to use a shoulder saver to take stress off the shoulder in bottom position. The chains provide higher tricep engagement at the top of the lift.

Incline Barbell Bench Press With Chains
มุมมอง 95ปีที่แล้ว
When setting up this exercise, the key is to have the chains the appropriate length so that they don't leave the ground at full extension. I like to use a shoulder saver to minimize stress on the shoulders but the chains add max load at the lockout.

Hands To Feet Stability Ball Pass Core Exercise
มุมมอง 83ปีที่แล้ว
This is a great exercise not just for your abdominal wall but also workings your adductors on your legs. Using a stability ball (or a med ball), alternate between passing the ball from your hands to your feet. Lower both under control, don't allow hands or feet to rest on the bottom of the movement. Concentrate on engaging your abs while pushing your low back into the floor. Impact Action Coach...

    Hi ya. Is it possible to put a high density foam strip cut to size on the LOWER setting as to raise it to which ever height you need? It's always gonna be twixt and between (unless very lucky? But the foam which will raise the spotter up might have just enough give it to protect your chest but doesn't get in the way

    My safety bars are set as low as possible on the setting and when I bring the bar down, it doesn’t even hit my chest. There is 3-4 inches between the bar and my chest because it’s hitting the safety bar. Am I doing something wrong?

  • @HeathWatts
    @HeathWatts ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! Have you tried it with BFR (blood occlusion) bands? It makes it a lot harder and it's effective with less weight. I was getting up to ~200 lbs, which was difficult to pull onto my knees. With the BFR bands, I can use half that amount and get a lot better pump in my soleus. One warning; you will likely get very sore.

      How is being 6’1” not suited for back squat?

    • @mali566
      @mali566 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AlexCarter317 Thanks for the question, Alex. I’ve never really found the back squat a comfortable or safe exercise. From research, the longer your levers (compared to your torso), the more difficult it is to keep weight on the heels and torso upright as the weight is pushing you forward and most people end up doing a good morning style movement. The taller you are, generally the longer your levers and the mechanics become more difficult. Used to get loads of lower back issues. It can be pulled off by taller frames but I’ve found it’s prob not worth the hassle / risk for heavier weights. Just my honest opinion.

  • @90hjorth
    @90hjorth 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like your take on the movement. When I think of rack pulls, I think of the top portion of the deadlift and always positioned below my knees. But you’re right if you want to focus just the back you got to raise it above so you don’t incorporate glutes and hammies

      Fruit is beneficial. As long as hitting carb goals, no reason to cut out. If want to slow digestion, couple it with a fat and protein at a meal, which is good practice anyway.
