I have been married 24 years. I told my wife that same advice when we first got married. I now at 2 stepdaughters at that point. She wanted to do what other parents were doing and make it easier on them. These things “seem” difficult but are nothing compared to what they will face when they don’t have parents to back them up. Years later when they started their family they sent a letter thanking us for the example. ‘When the man comes, pay him’.
“You wanna big butt...” 🤣 wow Josh got deep- allowing your children to go through adversity and grow from it, not pulling them out of the hard situation. As a parent, I appreciate it.
I’m serving as a drill sergeant right now, and I definitely see what you talked about at the end every day. I’ve seen kids who want to quit 30 minutes after getting off the bus because they don’t know how to deal with stress, and people getting in their face. We’ve even had someone in their late 20’s who’s mom packed his bag for basic.
You are describing the brilliance of old Disney. Sleeping beauty, parents protected her from Malificent. You steal the childs adaptive ability, their ability to deal with malevolence when it inevitably comes their way. Its criminal. The psychology is fascinating and horrific.
Fantastic insight into the power of mindsets as usual! And delivered at the end of a workout too.. I can't even untie my shoes when I finish a workout let alone deliver an eloquent speech. Bravo sir
Being a parent is such a learning game. Wish there was one right answer for everything/everyone. I've got 3 boys-27/23/10 with 2 grandkids--amazing how my parenting has evolved and been unique for each one.
Thanks for the advice at the end. Whem I started doing Crossfit and competing, I realized that the mindset to be successful at sports or even finish certain tipes of workouts is the same as the mindset to be successful in life, work... or go through a ruff time in life: you just have to work hard, be patient, have discipline, embrasse the process and sometimes learn front the defeats. I’m a father of a 5 years old boy and a 3 years old girl, and today, one of the main reasons I work hard in the gym is to set an example for them, so they might have the chance to learn that as well. Love your vlog and would love to see you again at the games 💪🏻
Hey Josh, I found your videos and it’s motivated me to get back in the gym, as a former Army Infantryman I realized even though I’m out of the army I still need to hold myself to that higher standard we were always pushed to uphold, thank you for the motivation! Best of luck this year competing to get back to the games I’ll definitely be cheering you on!!
Embrace Failure .... Find the meaning of Failure .... Failure in action does not equal that ' You ' are a Failure ..... I wish i had this type of mind set from a mentor or parent growing up ..... Now i my early 50's i appreciate the failures as one of the greatest tools i have to use to learn from ... in all aspects .... all ......... i don't need a ' confidence booster ' ... i need wisdom to go with my perseverance... imagine the things young people could accomplish with Failure = Success as a building block in growing up .... appreciate your message man .... "Excellence is Never an Accident ; It is the Result of High Intention , Sincere Effort , Intelligent Direction , Skillful Execution and the Vision to see Obstacles as Opportunities ..." Ooooh - Yah
Hey mate I've watched every upload and have taken so much from them and implemented alot of what you do into my own personal workouts but the last 3 to 4 mins of this vlog is some of the most truer words ever spoken. Really hit home as a parent and opened my eyes to a few situations my son has been through. Absolutely inspirational mate. Thank you
Exactly. I made it through some tough times b/c I went through some form of pain in the past. Knowing I made it through that pain made it easier to make it through the newest form of pain.
Heeere we go, finally back at posting! Keep sharing your immense experience Josh, such a huge inspiration to me, both in sport and life. Hope the elbow is recovering strong, can't wait to see you on the competition floor again
Saw this right before my training session. I did a dumbbell version of 15.5 and right when I started the 21 calories on the rower I caught myself thinking "oh my god... I still have 3 rounds left" Then you just popped up in my head saying "stay in the moment" and it was definitely a gamechanger. Thank you so much for this content, it's super helpful in training and in life
Josh, this helped me a ton. It gave me the push I needed to get my homework done and keep pushing myself this semester in school. Thanks for your example. This week, the man gets paid!
Keep getting stronger, JB, day by day, step by step. True and wise words that you shared with all of us at the end! Greeting from Portugal and #paytheman
Great Advice, I have a 16 month old boy, who has just been diagnosed with Moebius Syndrome, which among other challenges he will be smaller and weaker due to muscle tone issues than other kids when he starts school, and we are scared for bullying etc. But I will take your advice and use it for sure, obviously within reason. Thanks mate.
great content, it sure gave me a kick in the right direction!. it would be awesome if you could share some swim training exercises that you might do to mix up the weight training inbetween.
Hello, Thanks for that little monolouge at the end of the video, it really helps me to develop as a teen, i have been struggling to make the ends meet, because im participatimg im many projects, while im also trying to be a good Crossfit athlete, im really glad that you have started a TH-cam chanel because it helps young people like me to develop and get motivated, eaven in such small countries like Poland, where Crossfit is still developing sport, thanks
Love your video's brother. Your an inspiration my friend and full off positive energy 👍👊♥️ much love from the UK. Also I love the set up you have in the garage 👌👌💪
Hey Josh, I think I was one of your first subscribers lol, I love the channel. Question, would you mind watching that new documentary "The Game Changers" about the plant based diet and athletic performance, and maybe on your next Video, add your 2 cents on it? I know youre a meat eater yourself but maybe open your insights on it. Thanks man! Hereeee Weeeee Gooooo!
Great end of this video! Get kids (and some semi grownups as well) out of difficult situations back into comfort ánd tell them they can become whatever they want to be... That will not quite work I guess!? You have to work for what you want, sometimes hard and with some luck a little less. Keep it up with the recovery and please keep on posting.
Great advice on adversity. My 12 year-old boy is in wrestling season. He told me that he just wants to train and not participate in tournaments. I want him to participate so he can see his growth as a wrestler. What’s your advice? My son and I met you last year at a wrestling tournament in Imperial, CA.
Couldn’t agree more, this trend with the “millennial” thinking is a plague. See it every day professionally and in life, if it makes them uncomfortable they bolt. Now this generation of weak thinkers is raising the next and the bar my freind is growing lower. Great message sir and even better.....awesome example! PAY THE MAN !!!!!!

I want Josh to interview his neighbors to see what they think of the madness. Next door and across the street.
Your advice at the end is inspiring!! We don't quit, we pay the man and then we do it again but better
Aarron Tessier Hell Yeah
Still awaiting that “Here We Go!!” Shirt, Hoodie, Hat!!
Jay Pagan definitely
This is a great talk, I would love to see Bridges on the Joe Rogan Experience.

Your absolute right about the kids and the parents these days. Great episode!

That's where the growth is, in the struggle! You don't grow where you're comfortable. Weaknesses are not bad things, but opportunities to grow!
Dave Miller Hell yeah

This mindset of avoiding conflict and discomfort is also reinforced in many schools.
Double thumbs up...”growth mindset”

Great advice.
Absolutely correct on the adversity talk! That’s just the tip of the iceberg with what’s wrong with how kids are raised these days.
great content, it sure gave me a kick in the right direction!.
it would be awesome if you could share some swim training exercises that you might do to mix up the weight training inbetween.

The belt you use for Sled Drags... where did you get that? I wonder if I can make that work for me and my wheelchair!!!!!!!!!!
Josh, I’d like to know about your tattoos. Why you got them and are you finishing your sleeve?

Looked like a fabulous workout! What's up with that hair dood ?
Odd question but what shoes does Josh have on??!
What kind of Nike’s do you run in?
What was your time?
I did it with a 3k Assault Bike finished in 17:05
Song?
The man WILL collect the rent 😎🤣
Anyone know what Nike shoes he’s wearing?
Bike erg or assault bike if you can only have one?
Michael Harvey rogue echo bike
What if a woman comes around?
Best episode yet...considering real life $h!t
Knee surgery. Elbow surgery. Crossfit.
Need to say no more
Ian McVaigh knee surgery had nothing to do with crossfit. Old injury and was able to hang on without the surgery because of crossfit
