“I WILL DO TODAY WHAT OTHERS WON’T, SO I

CAN DO TOMORROW WHAT OTHERS CAN’T”


__________________________________________

Welcome to the EVERY.DAY.CARRY. Program.

Yes, of course a Program named EVERY.DAY.CARRY has two meanings.

The first and obvious reason it has this name is because you will be carrying (or loading) something
heavy, awkward and annoying each and every time you train.

The second, much more meaningful reason, which pretty much defines the reason why we are all
here, goes like this:
This Program is about Preparing YOU, so you can Enhance every aspect of your Life.

It is designed to arm you with true functional strength, conditioning and athleticism so you can carry
it with you every day you walk on this Earth. It will help you actually use the strength you are
building in the gym to deal with whatever life throws at you - whether it be moving a bag of
concrete, carrying in groceries, supporting an injured body or squatting a barbell…You will be
prepared and able.

Page 1
Wikipedia defines the term Everyday carry (EDC) or every-day carry as a collection of useful items
that are consistently carried on person every day. The main reasons for having EDC are utility
(usefulness), self-sufficiency, and preparedness:[1] to help individuals improve simple everyday
problem solving, from the mundane (opening packages, minor repairs) to possible emergency
situations such as first aid or self-defense.[1]

Some of the most common EDC items are key rings, wallets, mobile phones, flashlights, multi-
tools, pocket knives, watches, pens, notebooks, small first aid items, and pistols.

The choice and priority/ranking of which items to carry, and how or where to carry them, vary
according to each person's needs depending on their occupation, avocations, lifestyle, and similar
factors of everyday life.[1]
Goals include being able to solve everyday problems more efficiently and to be an asset instead of
a liability or helpless bystander when a problem arises.[1]

If your biggest dream is to be the best Bench Press specialist of all time, or get painted with a lot of
fake tan to pose on a stage, then you are probably in the wrong place. Don’t get me wrong - This
program WILL absolutely grow your Bench Press numbers and WILL improve your physique - but
that is not the main purpose for which this was written.

This program is designed for people who want to be strong, athletic, lean, well conditioned, bullet
proof from injuries, and above all else, functional. They want to be able to use their strength in the
real world. Not just on a perfectly balanced and calibrated barbell.

They want to look good, feel good and use the strength, conditioning and work capacity they have
built to help themselves as well at others so that they can become more of an asset when real life
happens instead of a liability, victim or helpless bystander.

Wether you are here to learn how to become a better Wrestler, Police Officer, Strongman, Teacher or
Parent, you are going to walk out of the other side of this program being able to lift and manipulate
large, cumbersome, uncooperative objects in a safer, more explosive and easier manner. From trash

Page 2
bags to boxes of books to petulant children (or adults) - if you finish this program, you will have the
tools you need to be prepared no matter what comes at you.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED


Since I work in a world where piracy doesn’t really seem like a crime, I know it is tempting to not
pay for this book…After all, what would it hurt?

Well, me Actually. It directly hurts me hahaha!

These ebooks are the #1 Way I put food on the table and pay my mortgage each month. If the sales
of these stop, all of the free information, videos and programs stop because I will need to get a real
job - and I REALLY don’t want to get a real job….

So if you are reading this and your wallet is just a little bit lighter from the purchase, then I truly
thank you from the bottom of my heart. I honestly put my all into this book and I hope it will be an
awesome, fun and positive lifting experience for you and I fervently hope you get even better results
than you are expecting!

The support here as well as with my Youtube channel mean so much more than you know and I truly
want to take this opportunity to express how grateful I am to each one of you!

So Truly, thank you.


_____________________________________________________________

LET’S GO
There is a lot of Information to cover here and not much area to cover it, so I am going to attack it as
logically as possible. There will be multiple parts to this introduction letter explaining all the details
you will need to know - Each Section will be broken down like this:

- WHO WILL BENEFIT MOST FROM THIS PROGRAM? - PG.4


- WHY ARE WEIGHTED CARRIES SO BENEFICIAL? - PG.6
- WHAT EQUIPMENT WILL YOU NEED TO RUN THIS PROGRAM? - PG.9

Page 3
- GOALS, INTENSITIES AND PERCENTAGES. - PG.11
- PROGRAM LENGTH AND DETAILS - PG.14
- DIET & RECOVERY - PG.19
- PROGRAM BEGINS - PG.22
_____________________________________________________________

WHO WILL BENEFIT MOST FROM THIS PROGRAM?


When writing this program, I had two different individuals in mind. The first is your normal, slightly
above average lifter. They take their training and health pretty seriously, they workout regularly but
maybe things have grown a little stale lately with their motivation or progress and they are ready for
a new challenge to take them to the next level.

These Athletes want to be strong, functional, athletic, conditioned and want to look like they lift
weights (Both with their clothes on as well as off). Maybe they don’t necessarily want to compete in
powerlifting, bodybuilding or strongman in a very serious fashion, but they still want to be the
absolute best they can be.

If this describes you, running this program is going to change your world. I will go into all of the
benefits of weighted Carries in just a bit, but both your body and your performance are about to
make a huge change for the better. You will most likely completely rekindle your passion for training
and will walk out the other side of this a new human being a few months from now. I am stoked for
you because You are about to level up.

The second group of individuals I had in mind are my “WARRIOR ATHLETES”.

These people could be here because they participate in some sort of extra curricular activity where
this kind of training will benefit them greatly. Athletes like Mixed Martial Artists, Brazilian Jujitsu
Fighters, Wrestlers, Rugby / American Football Players and any other “combat” sport athletes who
need to manipulate another human body in a dominant fashion to excel at their game.

Or some athletes could be here on more of a professional level because they work in Military, Law
Enforcement, Counter Terrorism, Fire, EMS or even many Medical fields. Often, many of these
professionals have to manipulate and control other human bodies or heavy cumbersome objects -
and typically in very inconvenient situations or positions.

Page 4
The functionality of adding weighted Carries to both groups of these Warrior Athletes will do wonders
to increase their effectiveness, safety, potency, and usefulness as an asset to whatever mission they
find themselves on.

- Because as ALL of them will tell you - lifting a 200 pound body feels MUCH different than lifting a
200 pound Barbell.

This program prepares you for that.

SPECIAL NOTE:
For years people have been requesting a special program for “Tactical” Athletes (Military/Police/Fire)
and “MMA/BJJ” Athletes — and this Program is my response.

Here is some truth. If you are trying to get better at Brazilian jiujitsu, then go get on the mat and
practice your guard escapes and triangles, - a barbell does not possess the answers you are
looking for.

If you are trying to become a better “Tactical” Athlete, then go practice room clearing and hit up a
shooting range.

Trying to become better tactically in a gym is like trying to learn Russian in a pottery Class.

This is a strength program that not only makes you proficient and stronger in the big four
movements (Squat, Bench, Deadlift, Overhead Press) but also makes you the kind of athlete that can
pick up a BODYWEIGHT sandbag, Throw it over your shoulder multiple times, Squat it for a set of 8
and then run it 100 feet away before slamming it on the ground.

This Program will make you Stronger, leaner, Faster, more explosive, better conditioned and able to
manipulate large, unwieldy objects in an athletic or violent manner. If you think that would help you
in your chosen sport or profession, then I would encourage you to run it - But you won’t learn about
knee bars or flash bangs here.

We can only put a bigger engine under the hood, you still need to drive the thing.

_____________________________________________________________

WHAT MAKES WEIGHTED CARRIES SO BENEFICIAL?


1. They add a functional aspect to resistance training that barbells, dumbbells or kettlebells simply
miss. You rarely encounter a friend asking you to come over on a Saturday to help you move a
Barbell. In the real world you move couches, you move boxes of Dishes. You pick up squirming
children, angry pets, bags of garbage and you wrestle your lawn mower.

Training with perfectly balanced and calibrate materials is amazing, but it doesn’t necessarily
translate over to real world functional strength that well. Practicing things like Front Carries,
Farmer’s Carries and Sandbag Loads prepare you for many of the movements you already
perform in your every day life while teaching you to manipulate large heavy objects in safe and
athletic ways.

I know amazing athletes that can deadlift 800 pounds - but strain their back when shoveling snow. I
know people who can Bench 500 but can’t do a single bodyweight pull-up. And I know World
Champion Powerlifters that need to warm up for 45 minutes before picking up their youngest
child…You need to ask yourself, “What are you training for?"

This program is about building ACTUAL, FUNCTIONAL Strength that you will use EVERYDAY of Your life.
Yes, the big four strength movements will increase and your body composition will absolutely
improve - You will hit PRs and Your Arms will grow…But you will also mysteriously find that you are
building the kind of strength that makes everything in life feel easier and soon you will wonder how
you ever got along without this amazing power.
_____________________________________

2. Carrying heavy objects in a timed fashion with low rest periods is extremely tough for your lungs
and heart.

If I asked you to carry a 5 pound weight plate across the room, most of us could do it without
running out of too much breath. If I ask you to carry a 300 pound keg across the room, even if it
feels light(ish) to you - You will be sucking wind. Simply because it requires a lot of oxygen for our

Page 6
bodies to carry heavy things - even over short distances. - Add in proper breathing and bracing
technique and it becomes even more exhausting.

Because of this happy little fact, weighted carries build conditioning and drop body fat like few other
things in the world. If you commit your all to this process, you will complete this program with a
work capacity that you haven’t experienced in years and your lungs will feel decades younger. Your
foot speed and agility will increase and your balance will improve greatly.

You will feel better, have less body fat, be more coordinated and won’t get so winded going up the
stairs. These are all life improving things.
_____________________________________

3. Regularly performing Weighted Carries like this also adds a ton of much needed posterior chain
and upper back work to your strength programming.

Because we live in a culture of SCREENS as well as having the tendency to only train the things we
can see in the mirror, most lifters could use a large increase in the amount of attention they spend
on the entire back half of their bodies. Luckily, weighted carries and loading are perfect for this.

They will not only help improve and correct your posture to help reverse the effect of sitting in a
chair/car/desk for 15 hours a day (So you don’t become a hunchback) - but it will also strengthen
the muscles along your entire spine, hamstrings and glutes which could help many lifters who suffer
from chronic back and neck pain.
_____________________________________

4. Not only will Weighed carries will make the main four strength movements (Deadlift, Squat, Bench,
overhead Press) skyrocket, they will also bring up a plethora of weak points and hard to engage
areas. Regularly engaging in weights carries will obviously increase strength and mass in your
core, upper back, biceps, butt and hamstrings…but they will also help your calves, traps, forearms
and neck gain size - which are often hard areas for many lifters to stimulate growth.
_____________________________________

Page 7
5. You will often find your Weighted Carries for the day at the beginning of your training, This is for
a few reasons: First, picking up heavy objects and carrying them acts as it’s own warm-up. You
may still need to do a little bit of prep on your own for the parts of you that creak, (and always work
your way up on weighted carries just like you would on a squat) but picking up and carrying a
sandbag requires you using EVERY SINGLE PART OF YOUR BODY, from your toes all the way up to your
chin.

Unlike something like a bench press, having to engage every muscle of your body and using them in
harmony to accomplish a task not only quickly raises your body temperature but also “wakes up”
your Central Nervous System as well as mind. You may swear and cuss at the sandbag the first time
you pick it up that day, but you will find that your body is ready for training much faster than with a
traditional barbell, band or foam rolling warm-up.

Secondly, once your body is slightly warm, you will quickly learn that you cannot “halfway” a
weighted carry or load. You need to attack it with focus and effort - or it will punish you by making
things exponentially harder, slower and more painful. (Another reason why it makes you more
explosive).

Since the action requires you to be mentally and physically engaged from the beginning of your
workout, you will rarely have a bad training day. If you can get through the weighted carry portion
with focus and effort, the rest of your training will usually go better than expected - Even on days
when you feel like you don’t have “IT”.

SPECIAL NOTE:
Since the program requires you to work so hard from the beginning of many sessions with the
carries/loading, you may expect that you would arrive tired or exhausted to your strength work
afterward, but you would be incorrect.

Some athletes may experience a slight drop in strength when they first begin this program because
of this, but that has nothing to do with a lack of Power. The dip in strength is due to to a lack of work
capacity, stamina and conditioning on the part of the athlete.

Page 8
Fortunately, as stated earlier, few things build lungs and the heart like weighted carries. So once
these weak points have been brought up to speed, (usually within the first 3-4 weeks) your strength
will recover, then far surpass your old numbers with a leaner and better conditioned body.
_____________________________________

6. In reality, once your work capacity catches up and has leveled your strength back out, you will
find that doing the carries/loads first in the workout actually primes your body and mind for the
work it is about to do. - and actually has a very positive carry over to strength.

For instance, you may often find farmer’s walks prior to your deadlifts. During those walks you may
work up to 200 pounds in each hand. This means you deadlifted, controlled and carried 400 pounds
multiple times in an athletic way prior to performing any warming up on your static deadlifts.

When you get to the deadlifts, you will find that your warm-ups feel amazingly light and anything up
to the 400lbs you already lifted seems like a joke. Your body already feels good and everything that
needs to be awake and engaged is locked in because of the Farmer’s Walks.

This will build your confidence, breathing/bracing and speed off the ground. Almost always, your
deadlifts will actually go better than they would have if you hadn’t performed the walks.

This is a pretty consistent phenomenon across all of the lifts. Other than Overhead - Which is why it
is placed where it is in the programming).
_____________________________________

7. Understand that each Weighted Carry you perform is not a simple static hold with a heavy object.
It is an athletic maneuver involving a pick (often from a deficit), hinge, Brace, Squat, foot work,
balance and 1,000 little adjustments (think rows, curls, shrugs, etc) along the way. - With extremely
heavy weights.

Your movement causes the implement to be jostled around forcing you to deal with multiple
undulating and opposing forces. These small adjustments are like mini-reps which is why
performing walks or even marching in place is much, much more effective than simply standing in a
static position holding a heavy object.
_____________________________________________________________

WHAT EQUIPMENT WILL YOU NEED TO RUN THIS PROGRAM?
As the name implies, there is a little more to this program than simple barbells and dumbbells, but
you may be able to run it with less than you think. Here is a basic idea of what you will need:

- Enough Basic Gym Equipment to Deadlift, Overhead Press, Squat And Bench Press in a reasonable
and safe manner.
- Dumbbells or kettlebells or loadable handles. I will be using these occasionally in assistance and
conditioning work.
- Enough Room to carry things. I recommend at least 50 feet in a straight line - but if you don’t
have it and want to make lots of turns, then that will work as well.
- Even if you DON’T HAVE ROOM FOR CARRIES, you can still march in place. It is not nearly as
effective but is still far superior to standing in a static position.
- A Place to load an implement to or over. This can be as simple as loading a sandbag over a
barbell in a squat rack or onto a wooden board placed across some safety pins. You could also
use a yoke, a platform, stacked plyo boxes or just about anything that has height.

Just know that the average Men’s platform loading height at a standard strongman
competition is 52” while the average woman’s loading height is 48”. Do your best to comply
to these dimensions and use these heights respectively.

- An Implement to be front carried (Bear Hug Position) or taken to/over your shoulder. Ideally this
would be something like a Sandbag, Keg or Atlas Stone.

- But other improvised FRONT CARRY implements that could replace these would be:
- Natural Stones
- Old duffel bags filled with heavy items
- Logs/Stumps
- Water Jugs filled with water, sand or lead shot
- Stacked Weight Plates with a loading pin
- Barrels
- Boxes or Totes filled with heavy items
- People

Page 10
- Really anything that is big and cumbersome

* I HIGHLY Recommend that you use 3 separate Front carry items. You can get away with using 1
large sandbag and manipulating the weight each workout, but you will quickly grow to hate your
life…

In a Perfect World, you would invest in 3 Sandbags or Front Carry Implements.

Your LIGHT Sandbag Would be 25-50lbs Below Your Bodyweight.


Your MEDIUM Sandbag Would be loaded to your Bodyweight.
Your HEAVY Sandbag Would be 25-75lbs Above Your Bodyweight.

*These weights may seem ludicrous to you now because a sandbag feels MUCH heavier than
the weight on a Barbell…But you will catch up soon. You can either choose to purchase
some smaller Sandbags or you can get the above mentioned weights and fill them up as you
get stronger.

- An Implement to be used for Farmer’s Carry. Ideally this would be traditional Farmer’s Carry
Handles or Travel Farmer’s Carry Straps but you could also use Dumbbells, Kettlebells or a Trap
Bar.

- Other improvised FARMER’S WALK items could be:


- Buckets filled with heavy materials
- Water jugs or cans filled with water, sand or lead shot
- You could even use a wheel barrow if you can load it heavy enough.
- Holding Bumper plates or Pinching smooth side out metal weight plates
______________________________________________________________

HOW TO ESTABLISH A 1 REP MAXIMUM (1RM) / PERSONAL RECORD


(PR) & HOW TO PROGRESS
ON A WEIGHTED CARRY

Page 11
There are many ways to establish a 1RM weighted carry but for our purposes in this program we will
say that a 1RM or PR Weighted Carry is the most weight you can load on a particular implement and
carry 50 feet without dropping it or completely stopping forward progress.

You are allowed to use a belt if you wish (it may even be encouraged if you are carrying over 80-85%
of your 1RM Weighted Carry) but you may NOT use straps. A huge benefit of weighted carries is
building your grip. Using straps on something like a Farmer’s Walk would defeat some of the
purpose of the exercise. (There ARE Cases where Straps can be used on Farmer’s Walks & it will be
beneficial - But this is not one of them).

Before you begin, you may want to find some 1RM’s for the different carries used throughout this
program so that you can base your weight choices off of a percentage of your 1RM.
_____________________________________

SPECIAL NOTE:
When Breaking, Recording or Bragging about your Farmer’s Carry PR - you only state the weight
carried in EACH INDIVIDUAL HAND. So If I do a 50 Foot Farmer’s Carry with 315lbs in each hand. I
have completed a 315lb Farmer’s Carry…Not a 630lb Farmer’s Carry. A 315lb Farmer’s Carry is
Heavy. A 630lb Farmer’s Carry is not yet humanly possible. (That’s a 1,260lb Pick and Carry)

To avoid looking like a foolish new lifter or becoming a target of internet scorn…make note of this.
_____________________________________

FINDING YOUR PERCENTAGE:


Also, if you have a 200lb Farmer’s Carry PR (meaning you have successfully carried 200lbs in each
hand for the distance of 50 feet without any drops or stopping forward motion) and the Program Calls
for a 100 Foot Carry at 75% of Your 1RM:

You would Multiply 200 x .75. This will give you 150lbs which is the weight you should load in each
hand for your sets. (I know this is elementary for some of you, but I get this question every single
program I release).
_____________________________________

Page 12
All of this said… since many of you will be brand new to regular weighted carries in your strength
programming, you may be better off taking a strictly linear approach to your progression because
your will be making gains a lot faster than a percentage method would allow. (Percentages really
only work well if you have accurate and up to date 1RM’s to base them off of).

For this reason, you will see me using the different load intensities of HEAVY, MEDIUM & LIGHT when
prescribing the carries for each training session. This is roughly what that means:

HEAVY Weighted Carries will kept to around 50 feet lengths and short Time Under Tensions (TUT).
However, these will bring the highest in intensity when it comes to load (Weight). - You will typically
see loads of 70% of your 1RM or Above.

MEDIUM Weighted Carries will stay around 100 foot Runs at moderate loads and/or TUT’s.
- Typically these loads will be 55%-70% of your 1RM.

LIGHT Weighted Carries will be longer. 150 feet lengths up to “As Far As possible” and/or Mindset
Challenge Distances. The Weights will obviously be lighter and may need some trial and error
adjusting before they feel correct.

_____________________________________

PROGRAM LENGTH AND DETAILS


The Every.Day.Carry Program is an 18 Week Program with (2) - Nine Week Macro Cycles that are
broken into Six distinct Mesocycyles. The reason why this program is so long is because your first
3-6 weeks or training is going to be northing more than your body catching up and understanding
this new pace and modality of training (Survival Mode much of the time). Once past that, you will hit
some sort of homeostasis (where you won’t think you are going to die every second of the
workout)…and then finally, you will begin to actually perform around weeks 7-9…

I expect you to be hitting PRs by the time week 6 comes around but I think you would see near
“Noobie Gains” if you ran the program for its intended 18 week length. However, this is just my
opinion and I think you should do what you think is best for you and your training.

I would also like to see you attempt to treat the carrying/loading in this program as the biggest
strength priority…even over the big four main lifts. The reason being, if you carries increase
greatly, your other lifts will move up like magic.

But if you only treat the carries as something to get through and a box to check, then you will never
reap the benefits you could have it you treated them with the attention they deserve.
_____________________________________

Each one of the Distinct 6 mesocycles contains 3 weeks of training. Each week will consist of 4
workouts. Each training session will be focused on an individual weighted carry and one of the big
four strength movements.

Each day’s training session will consist of 3 main parts (occasionally there could be more or less
sections) and will also include an optional bodyweight conditioning that you can use to either further
challenge your lungs that day or as active recovery on a rest day or in a separate morning/evening.

But if your plan is to use this program at least in part for fat loss or sports performance, I would
highly encourage you apply these to your training regularly.

Page 14
Since these conditioning sessions are only bodyweight, they shouldn’t bite too much into your
recovery and may often actually aid in your body’s healing.

_____________________________________

Page 15
No Individual workout should take you very long. Even with the added Bodyweight Conditioning, if
you obey the rest periods, no prescribed session should ever run over 90 minutes and most of the
trainings can be completed in 45 Minutes to an Hour.

Your Strength Work each session will always be done in Giant set format to build work capacity and
to save time and energy. I have done my best to make the Giant sets as easy to perform in a
commercial gym setting as possible. I know they are a pain, but the benefits outweigh cost once you
get used to using them.

Each day You will be working up to a top set of a prescribed Rep range on your main strength
movement of the day. Always try to get as heavy as you possibly can for each day’s rep range but do
NOT miss reps! You will see an approximate percentage of your 1RM where you may fall but ALWAYS
shoot for more if it is there because your 1RM’s may have already improved.

On each Giant Set, I have provided a number of rounds you are supposed to complete - These are
intended to be your working rounds or your tops sets for the day. THE PRESCRIBED ROUNDS DO NOT
INCLUDE YOUR WARM-UP SETS!

For example, here I have 5 Rounds of a Giant set where I am supposed to hit a top Set of 5 Squats:

*Complete as Many Warm-up Rounds as Necessary before Beginning your Working Weight Sets!
STRENGTH GIANT SET - (HEAVY) Add Weight to Each Exercise Every Round you are able
5 Rounds of the Following Giant Set
A. 3 Box Jumps As High As You Can - Focus on being explosive
B. 5 Squats or Box Squats (Goal is 75%-85% of Your 1RM)
C. 20 Hollow Rocks
D. :90 Seconds Rest to Manipulate and Record Weights

My Sets may look like this:


135x5
225x5
275x5
315x5
365x5

Page 16
405x5
455x5
500x5 (TOP SET OF THE DAY)

As you Can see, I would only record and count my last 5 sets of the day as my “Working” Sets. All
sets prior to the top working sets on the day are to be considered as warm-ups.

Each Session, continue to add weight each round until you hit your top set for the day.

For some workouts, you may have a higher number of rounds with lower numbers of reps. (7 Sets of
2 for instance) On these days, if by chance your top set comes earlier than expected, then just
complete your remaining rounds with appropriate weights to keep the intensity accurate to what
your body is telling you. In such an incident, your sets may look more like this:

315x2
365x2
405x2
455x2 (Can’t go any heavier that day)
455x2
455x2 (Starting to lose form)
440x2

Just continue to manipulate the weight appropriately each Round until all Rounds are complete.
_____________________________________

Each Day’s Giant Set will consist of:

ON LOWER BODY DAYS


A. An Explosive Movement to get your hips and posterior chain moving as fast as possible to prime
you for the main mover of the Day.
B. The main Lower Body Strength movement for the day (Deadlift or Squat variation)
C. A Core Variation that will help “Cue” your body to do what it is supposed to do during the deadlift
or squat.

ON UPPER BODY DAYS

Page 17
A. The Antagonistic muscle Movement in the same plane as the main muscle mover of the Day. (i.e.
The pull to the Push you will be working) Hence, you will be performing some sort of Row on
your Bench Press days and some sort of Vertical Pulling on your Overhead Press Days.
B. The main Upper Body Strength Movement for the day (Overhead press or Bench Press)
C. A Core or Rotational Exercise to build strength and explosiveness.
_____________________________________

After your Strength is completed, you will then have some Sort of Assistance work or Assistance
Finisher. I am not a big fan of the time it takes to complete assistance work personally (because
after I spent so much energy on my carries and strength stuff, I am usually ready to pack up and go
home.) So I use Assistance finishers as “Fun” and challenging way to get a lot of work done in a
short (Typically around 10 minute) period of time.

These Assistance Finishers will double as conditioning and will often have your muscles screaming
and your lungs heaving. Although they are mentally and physically tough, they will serve their
purpose by targeting weak points of the main lifts and helping to bring up some less used muscle
groups.
______________________________________________________________

Page 18
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
DIET/EATING - Look, this program isn’t easy…in fact it is very, very hard. If you eat like a fool,
you are not going to have the fuel you need to get through these sessions. Without the nutrition to
recover from the beatings - at best, you won’t see the results you could have if you were eating
correctly, and at worst, you will become injured - forcing you to take time off or head to the Doctor
for treatment. Your Nutrition is at LEAST 50% responsible for the results you will see or will NOT see
from this program. A Bad Diet will make the majority of this training a waste of your time and
energy.

If you are willing to invest your time and effort into this program, then also invest in your diet and eat
like an adult. You know there are better fuels than fast food, ice cream and diet coke for your body
to use for performance.

I am not saying you need to be a psycho food Nazi with your eating…I am just saying, take a
moment before you put something in your mouth, and ask…”Is this bringing me closer or further
away from the person I am trying to become?”

Then act accordingly.

The results will speak for themselves.

REST/RECOVERY - One of the first things you will discover about this training is that you will be
using muscles that you may have not used for a long time or maybe have NEVER used…Thus, your
soreness is going to be in different places and on different levels of intensity than you may have
been used to in the past.

That is ok - just like how the first time you squatted and you couldn’t imagine putting 200lbs on your
back because it was so painful…you will grow and adapt…just don’t get overwhelmed by it.

This entire program is about staying grounded in the present and completing the next step, the next
round or the next rep. Focus on that, not the program or workout in its entirety. If you have an Every
Minute on the minute carry section of the workout and you are on minute 5 out of 10, but find you
are really hurting and about to give up, just make it one more round. Then if you have the energy,
make another round. Then assess after that. But alway push a little further, go a little heavier and
last a little longer than you want to. Never give up until you have done a little bit more.

When you are out of breath, always go just a little before you feel ready and never stop until the all
the work is done. Stopping a set or session early because you are uncomfortable or tired is just an
extremely bad decision made in a single second of weakness.

One second decisions made in times of extreme duress are often ones that will haunt you for the rest
of your life. You are training your mind and body how to get comfortable in this uncomfortable
situation so that when hard real life things happen, the uncomfortableness will not be a foreign
feeling.

Like I said, this program is functional in more ways than one.


_____________________________________

The problem with regularly pushing into physical and mental areas that your body isn’t comfortable
with is that everything costs something. Thus, you either need to pay in the form of recovery or in
the form of pain and injuries. It is your Choice.

Page 20
Eating well and staying hydrated will do a ton to help your body’s recovery from the daily car
crashes you will be putting it through, but it will not be enough if you are skipping sleep, drinking too
much alcohol and not doing anything each day to help your body actively heal.

During this program, you are training like an athlete. That means you have to live like an athlete.
This implies a curfew, choosing sleep over screens and spending at least a little time each day
focused on helping your meat vehicle get ready for the next session you are going to put it through.

This active recovery could be stretching, rolling on a lacrosse ball/ foam roller, yoga, meditation,
cold plunges, sauna, dry needling, massage, etc…a literal cornucopia of options and gimmicks to
choose from that if you just spent 30-60 minutes a day working, then you would highly increase your
mobility, productivity, decrease your pain, increase your training ability and potentially stop a future
devastating, life changing, injury from happening….

Or you could stare at Social media on your phone in a hunched over position for the next hour…
your choice….Do Your Homework if you want to Ace the Test when it comes…

EVERY single choice you make today is either moving you closer to or further away from the person
you want to become.

5 years from now, all you will be is a collection of each day’s choices.

END OF MESOCYCLE6
Congratulations, you made it! 18 Weeks later and I am willing to bet you are a different person
walking out the other side of this thing!

Page 112
I am so proud of you for finishing the program and everything that means! If all went as planned,
then you should be bigger, stronger, leaner, more functional, with a huge work capacity and having
fun with lifting again. Hopefully you will have already experienced how functional strength can
really change your day to day life and hopefully some things have already become easier for you.

I truly cannot thank you enough for all of the support with these programs as well as with my
YouTube channel and I really hope that this was an awesome and fun lifting experience for you!

Thank you so much again, amazing job and I look forward to working together again in the future!

Much Respect,
Brian
