NOT born this way - The official podcast of the Iron Legion Strength Co. and NOT Born This Way brand apparel.

Episode 194-Training once a week. Is it even worth it?

Sometimes circumstances change and we can only swing one workout a week. Is that even worth it? The answer may surprise you.

Episode 193-Science doesn’t give a shit about your circumstances.

Sometimes we expect the laws of science to somehow change to suit our needs. Somehow things “should” work differently because they way they do work doesn’t suit our circumstances. The faster we can understand that isn’t happening, the faster we can get where we need to be.

Episode 192- "So where are you going with this?"

My wife asked me this last night. A very reasonable question. “Where are you going with this Powerlifting/Bodybuilding thing? How much bigger do you want to get? And why?” It really made me think and I think the answer might be something you can relate to.

Episode 191- Why am I even doing this?

This is a question you will probably ask yourself several times. You’ll ask yourself this at 5 AM when the alarm goes off. You’ll ask yourself this at 6:30 PM when it’s dark out and you have to go to the gym. You’ll ask it when you’re tired, you’ll ask it when you’re sore, you’ll ask it when you just don’t feel like doing it. The key to success is having a good answer to that question.

Episode 190- “This shouldn’t take this long.”

Have you heard yourself say this? About what? Getting in shape? Losing weight? Getting your business where you want it to be? We all have thought that but here’s the deal.

Episode 189- Today was a shitty day. Literally.

Some days just suck. Today was one of those days. But here’s how I found the upside.

Episode 188- The struggle makes us stronger.

Sometimes it seems like the deck was always stacked against us. We have had so many obstacles to overcome. How much better would like have been if we didn’t have those struggles? Wouldn’t things be so much better? Possibly... But what if those struggles are what made us who we are today? What if our best attributes and strength came from facing those challenges?

Episode 187- Being successful will require much more than whatever you are doing now.

We want success. Usually massive success if we are being honest, but are we willing to read more, learn more, become more in order to achieve it?

Episode 186-Sometimes all you can do is the best you can.

“All in.” “Go hard or go home.” “Team no sleep.” All cool things to say, but what about when you also have a life?

Episode 185- The strength to get over the past.

A lot of strong people have gotten that way by overcoming bad shit in their lives. The struggle makes us stronger. Tough times come. That’s a fact. How we deal with them is what determines what their ultimate effect on our life will be.
