2 Pillars Of Athletic 🏋️♂️
What's the point of having money if your body is terrible.
The mind is in all the body.
When you move better you open up new creativity.
I've seen it over and over with people learning to juggle also opening their minds other possibilities.
Health is a key factor in thinking ability and the joy of life.

The best is yet to come!
Becoming athletic is simple but not easy.
Do your training.
Eat to your plan.
If it's not working because you're not doing it... find better support strategies.
If its not working even though you are doing it... use different methods.
In "programs" and "what to eat" sections of ATHLETIC you'll find the methods that have worked best for me and hundreds of athletes, coaches and everyday people around the world.
These are not the only methods you could use to get results.
Test and be honest about the results you're getting.
Don't assume those speaking with authority have the solution you need.
Choose one of the following, or something else to focus on:
1. Train Daily
Commit time daily to develop your athletic ability.
How Should I Train?
- You could use Uncommon protocols
- You could do ATG Online
- Work with another Uncommon / ATG endorsed coach.
- 1km sleds / Hills
Daily Skills
This could be handstands / juggling
Daily Strength
A morning challenge like 20 push-ups, 20 squats, 20 good mornings and 20 pulls (chins or rows depending on what you have) or a mobility flow in the morning can be a positive momentum builder for the day.
Daily Sleds / Hills / Walk / Other endurance training.Mark Bell and Stan Effernding have worked hard to popularise walking for strength athletes. Set a standard that can be maintained dailyThere are other protocols that are more "behaviour based" in the programs area.
When you train everyday you will
1. Gain new respect for yourself.
2. See what impact different programs have.
3. Get stronger and gain muscle.
4. Make training an automatic habit.
- NOTE tranining daily doesn't mean that you destroy yourself daily. Increased frequency of training means a more controlled intensity is required.
2. Eat What You've Chosen To Eat
I've followed dozens of different diets.
Initially I wasn't able to follow a diet plan.
At that time I wasn't able to impact my health and performance much by food.
I was on default mode.
As I've learned to manipulate my food I have more ability to manipulate my results.
When you stick to your diet you will:
1. Gain new respect for yourself.
2. See what works and what doesn't.
3. Get true results that reflect the foods you've chosen.
4. Get into great shape (if you're also training well).
The diets I've had best results with are:
- Strict Paleo without too many nuts
- Ketogenic diets without too many artificial sugar alcohols
- Strict Carnivore
- Carnivore + extras (a little fruit / avocado etc. less than 10% of daily calories)
- Lean Meats + Greens
- Intermittent fasting 4-8 hour window.
- OMAD - one meal per day.
They tend to work for most people with the caveat being that coming down off a high carbohydrate diet can be tough and ramping up fat metabolism takes some adjusting.
If you have a different way that is great for you that’s also great.
Bet on it and live by the results.
Do your training.
Eat to the plan.
Yes you need to breathe well and sleep well and think well but these big rocks have more impact than anything else.
