If you're still reading...thank you.

I've been getting a lot of feedback about my opinions recently, most of it good, and I'm genuinely surprised at how many of you are reading this.

So, again...

Thank you.

I'm pretty tired and achy today, so I'm not going to post loads.

I'm just going to wonder out loud, again, how so much dis-information and BS turns into main stream 'gym knowledge'?

Why

Do the scrawny boys with no functional strength or muscle size feel the need to do a nonsense of an exercise like decline bench press?

Why

Do the overweight guys with no functional strength or stamina think that endless bicep curls will help them towards the look they desire?

Why

Are so many women - and some men - afraid of lifting either themselves or iron because they believe they'll get 'muscle bound'

Why

Is form valued so much over function in the west?

Am I always right?

No.

Ov Corz not...but I'm never wrong - my opinions are just different.

If you're reading this, chances are that yours are too.

So please...spread the word.

Speak out.

Before we become drowned out by the flood of vanity based training and cookie-cutter programmes that are designed to be 'easy and do-able' rather than effective.

Mitch and I have a programme.
Is it do-able?
Ask me in March.
Is it easy?
Hell no!
Because if it was, it would be pointless.

The guys I train have a programme - even if they don't always realise it.

You should have one too

Without a programme,

Without goals,

You're not training...

At best you're exercising, at worst you're lying to yourself.

And this isn't just about being big, being strong, being fit.

Because...

If you're the guy who can't walk upstairs without getting out of breath.

If you're the guy who can't push or pull his own weight around.
If you're the guy who can't act when action is needed.

Then really...

What use are you?
To your family, your friends, your neighbours.
I'm not saying we should all have skills and training.

But I am saying this:

If my kid had fallen in the street, I'd want to be able to run out in front of a car and scoop him to safety.

Wouldn't you?

Would you?
Could you/

Wake up and smell the coffee.

Because too many of you are sleeping.
