Let’s focus on some extra recovery and flexibility/mobility work this week!

Last week’s PRs:

Let’s recognize those putting in that effort!

Metrics are important, and so are tracking them, to know where we’ve been, where we’re going, and how to navigate that path!

Last week these REVGYM Tribe members PR’d -

  • Miles Brown - Work up to Heavy Squat Push Press

  • Wes Shumate - Work up to Heavy Squat Push Press

  • Liz Kelsey - Sadistic Saturday III

Lean into it REVGYM TRIBE!!!

Respect the Holy Ground & your Tribe! -

I’ve been noticing a LOT of equipment being left out over the last couple weeks. This isn’t ok Tribe. When you use something, a band, a weight, a bar, a box, a plate, a red cup…. put it where it belongs when you’re finished with it.

You’ll also notice a new mat area added to the gym.

No shoes on this mat, just as our other martial art mat area.

Parents, you may have to keep a close eye on your younger ones as they get used to this mat area, and keep them from walking on it with shoes. Thank you for your vigilance!

This mat area may be used for stretching, if any martial artists, fighters, or Iron Arsenal practitioners are not using it. We will utilize this mat for existing classes, private and semi private sessions, team training, and we are actively seeking jiujitsu instructors to add to our team to begin youth and adult Gi/No Gi classes. We will also be adding several “Open Mat” times for additional practice, and for other schools to come train with us.

Yes you can!

And yes… this is about BELIEF again…

If you believe, you can… you don’t, you won’t.

It is as easy as you want it to be.

If you’ll miss that extra hour or 2 you’re literally doing nothing to move yourself forward and staying up late.

If you’ll miss satiating your lack of dopamine by trying to trick your body and mind with sugar and caffeine… stay with that.

If you can’t commit to bettering your body, mind, and spirit for at least 1 hour a day… you’ll not only stay right where you are, you’ll probably go backwards.

See yourself different.

See yourself achieving.

See yourself winning! Every day!

Take time in the evening before you sleep & in the morning before you rise… set intentions, see and feel yourself winning the moments and the day.

Believe it & make it so!

The DeepWater is dark… and it should be…you’ll find it if you allow yourself to commit to the deep end. There, in the dark, you will have the opportunity to find the brightest light… and that light is not given, it’s earned. You’ll know when you see it, feel it, own it… it won’t come in the form of a 🙌, or a 👍, or a 💪, or a 🔥🔥🔥… it will come quietly, and strong, and you’ll quit trying to be seen by anyone but yourself and the Man.

Get some!
