This video was filmed on my very first day in the gym with @tompurvisptrts at the tail end of May. He’d never met me before, and we were on the back of an impromptu 1-hr whiteboard lecture 📝 on what most of the world calls “warming up” and at RTS we generally refer to as “exercise preparation”. - A lot of our later conversations were much more technical 🤓 but I thought this was a really accessible way to introduce Tom to many of you who won’t be aware of the man who is behind so much of the accurate information you’ve learnt over the years. - Tom’s a big proponent of his own RTS motto of “Think science, speak client” and meeting the person you’re talking to “where they’re at” 🗣 You’ll note how casual his terminology was here because he wasn’t sure yet what I was comfortable with. A month later it would probably sound like French to most of the general population 😂 - Anyway, here he’s putting in quite simple layman’s terms what is happening during a warm-up set ⚡️ He’s just getting his muscles “used to” contracting, because 5 minutes ago they were doing nothing 😴 - Think of those sets in terms of their purpose. They’re to prepare your joints for the range they’re going to have to explore, your muscles to contract and the force they and their connective tissue are about to produce and translate respectively, and your neural system to make all of this happen with maximal effort 💯 Yes, the process will encourage increased blood flow so don’t worry about that🫀 - Lastly, they represent your opportunity to focus on what feels good today and what doesn’t 🤔 and what cues you’re going to focus on delivering in your set this session (based on either an intention bias or something in particular you’re working on or experimenting with) without the distraction of managing and controlling heavy load 🥵 - If you start thinking about your “non-working” sets in this manner, you might just find you stop wasting too much energy “getting warm” 🤒🤦🏻‍♂️ and instead spend it improving the readiness of your mind 🧠 muscles 💪🏽 and joints 🦾 to execute the sets ahead of you. - Bonne courage, mes amis préparés. Go forth and contract.

Have you heard the saying, “A penny saved is a penny earned”? It’s just not true… a penny saved is still just a penny. Now, I'm not saying you won't save some money that way. But you cannot hit your financial goals by saving a few pennies every day. I've found it’s way easier to make more money than it is to spend less. That is why I am a big proponent of High-Income Skills. Because with the right skills you get paid for the results you produce, not the hours you work. So you can always increase your income by delivering more results. Now, a lot of people don’t believe me when I say that High-Income Skills are your safety net.⁣ ⁣ But, I can tell you in my career, I’ve had a lot of ups and downs.⁣ ⁣ Sometimes my businesses made money and sometimes they didn't.⁣ While riding the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, I can always count on my skills to make me money.⁣ ⁣ And if I didn’t have my skills... I never would have made it in business, period.⁣ ⁣ Now, one of the most profitable and easy to learn skills is high ticket closing. Why? Because high ticket closing gives you the ability to improve your relationships with others. To communicate better and with more confidence. If someone develops this skill at the highest level, they can influence almost anyone. So, ⁣don’t think you'll make it in business without the right skills. That's how I ended up in $150k in business debt by age 21. But, once I focused on developing my skills, everything changed for me. If you’re ready to develop your skills… I can show you how. DM me "I'M READY" to see if you qualify.
