INFINITE WILLPOWER    Do you believe that your INFINITE WILLPOWER    Do you believe that your willpower is a finite resource that diminishes the more you have to use it or do you believe that willpower has growth potential?    The biggest indicator on the diminishing or growth of willpower is the attitude you take towards it. Those who believe that willpower is a limited resource think of it as a precious commodity so they only use it for immediately gratifying things. They also expect to run out of willpower, so when a desire to quit or do something else comes along, they’re less likely to fight it. They think of it as a natural consequence of fading willpower and they give in to that impulse.    On the contrary those who believe in the growth potential of willpower are more apt to apply it when things do get tough. When people don’t buy into the idea of finite willpower, they aren’t affected by it. They can exercise self-discipline in one task and then do it again later, without a decrement.     If you believe willpower can build upon itself... then it will. If you believe going to the gym will help you make better nutrition and lifestyle choices then it will. But if you believe that going to the gym will make other choices that much harder then you’ll act into that belief and sabotage yourself in the process.    The choice is yours.     #SalvationSP #SaveYourselfFromMediocrity #SoulTakers #Honor #Strength #Grit #Humility #dontbeaNAF #BootiesByBrad #UpsideofPensacola #WeFinallyGotJosh #WeGotLaneyLoriandJojo #FinallyGotRusty #DidntHaveToWaitLongForJen #WheresAshleigh #TheMillersConverted #TheWilsonsGotCommitted #SmallCommunityHugeImpact #TacticalStrengthandConditioning #TSAC #TacticalTraining⁣ #OpexFitness #LookGoodMoveWell #PersonalizedFitness #ResultsRelationshipsFun #PowerAthlete #BattleTheBullshit #SeeYouAtTheTop    📸: @paytonandersonphotography

STRENGTH VS HYPERTROPHY    When most people th STRENGTH VS HYPERTROPHY    When most people think of lifting weights they tend to loop the concepts of strength training and hypertrophy training together. Although both these adaptations are indeed brought about through resistance training... they aren't necessarily brought about optimally through the same means.     When training for strength we’re intending to increase the muscles ability to generate force on an external load. When training for hypertrophy our main goal is to increase the amount and size of muscle tissue to our body.     There are three main differences to look at when considering optimal training for either one:     • Load differences — Basic strength is best built in a 3-6 rep range while hypertrophy can occur from a much wider range anywhere from 5-30 reps
  • Volume differences — Strength requires low fatigue resulting in lower overall volume of training. Hypertrophy requires more volume and can be trained for in a more fatigued state 
  • Progression differences — Strength fundamentally requires adding more load overtime whereas hypertrophy responds the most to increases in volume of training   Strength and hypertrophy can occur quite well for many beginner to intermediate lifters but over time it becomes optimal to choose which adaptation you want/need and focus on the parameters that bring success.     If you’re interested in learning more about how to increase your muscle strength and/or size, schedule your free consultation and assessment with us today.     #SalvationSP #SaveYourselfFromMediocrity #SoulTakers #Honor #Strength #Grit #Humility #dontbeaNAF #BootiesByBrad #UpsideofPensacola #WeFinallyGotJosh #WeGotLaneyLoriandJojo #FinallyGotRusty #DidntHaveToWaitLongForJen #WheresAshleigh #TheMillersConverted #TheWilsonsGotCommitted #SmallCommunityHugeImpact #TacticalStrengthandConditioning #TSAC #TacticalTraining⁣ #OpexFitness #LookGoodMoveWell #PersonalizedFitness #ResultsRelationshipsFun #PowerAthlete #BattleTheBullshit #SeeYouAtTheTop
EMBODY THE IDENTITY    If you asked a group of EMBODY THE IDENTITY    If you asked a group of people what fitness means to them you will for sure get a variety of answers. But regardless of the different answers one thing is for sure... it takes an embodiment of a fitness identity to sustain the behaviors required for long term success.     Your habits are how you embody your identity. Whatever your current identity is right now, you only believe it because you have proof of it from past behaviors. If you believe you are a fit person it’s because you've repeatedly chosen to train, prepare foods, and have a disciplined sleep schedule. On the other hand, if you eat garbage, stay up all night, and only train randomly if ever at all but try to tell yourself you are fit then you’re lying to yourself. This causes cognitive dissonance which leads to excuses and rationalizations for poor behavior choices.     If you want to embody your own fitness identity then go out and prove it to yourself. Rack up the wins by accumulating actions that are in line with that identity. Take pride in your strength and performance but most importantly take pride in your discipline and persistence. Once your pride and honor are involved nothing can rock you off that path.     #SalvationSP #SaveYourselfFromMediocrity #SoulTakers #Honor #Strength #Grit #Humility #dontbeaNAF #BootiesByBrad #UpsideofPensacola #WeFinallyGotJosh #WeGotLaneyLoriandJojo #FinallyGotRusty #DidntHaveToWaitLongForJen #WheresAshleigh #TheMillersConverted #TheWilsonsGotCommitted #SmallCommunityHugeImpact #TacticalStrengthandConditioning #TSAC #TacticalTraining⁣ #OpexFitness #LookGoodMoveWell #PersonalizedFitness #ResultsRelationshipsFun #PowerAthlete #BattleTheBullshit #SeeYouAtTheTop    📸: @paytonandersonphotography
WHY DELOAD?     In training, deload is a spe WHY DELOAD?     In training, deload is a specific period, generally about a week, dedicated to lighter sessions of various sorts. The purpose is to reduce fatigue while preserving adaptations made from prior & more strenuous training.    If you train regularly w/ the intention to get better then we can assume (hopefully) that we’re applying appropriate progressive overload throughout our weeks of training. If overload is being applied then our sessions our getting harder & harder as the weeks go on & thus our fatigue begins to rise as well over the weeks. Eventually we get to a point where we can no longer perform the required work to produce an overload. When this occurs we deload to reduce fatigue & begin building back up again.    Deloads are typically a reduction in load and/or volume. Our goal is to do just enough training to maintain adaptations from previous weeks. Deloads should look different depending on your goals & your training age but either way at the end of the deload period you should feel fresh & ready to crush another set of consecutive weeks of hard training.    Some who claim to train "hardcore all the time" believe that they can tough it out & train through. This is the sign of an amateur who knows nothing about the adaptive processes of the body. Many who train straight through w/o deloads actually don’t train at all. They’re either just making themselves tired from week to week or not actually training hard enough to elicit a recovery period. On top of that, they’re more than likely not tracking if they’re getting better via more weight lifted, faster times, or more work completed.    The case where you may not need to deload is when life gets in the way. If your training is sporadic & you have stretches where you miss the gym for several days to a week at a time then you pretty much have mini deloads built in. Be cautious of this though. If the reason for missing the gym was due to a stressful life or work event then we may not actually be recovering while away from training. It’s probably a good idea after something like that to back off & only give your body what it can handle upon return.    As always, train hard... but train smart
THE COMPOUND EFFECT     The things we do most THE COMPOUND EFFECT     The things we do most often, our habits, ultimately shape our successes and our failures. A whole bunch of small, seemingly insignificant actions performed over a long period of time snowball into absolutely incredible accomplishments or regretful disappointments.     This is known as the compound effect and its the mindset that must take hold to own and sustain excellence over time. Many who set out to attain a goal want to have gratification right away. They make drastic changes that rely on motivation and ultimately end up not sustaining them overtime. Training and nutrition are prime examples of this. People get super excited to get results which cause them to go full throttle into workouts they aren't ready for and diets that destroy them. 6-8 weeks later they are spit out ready to ride the roller coaster in the other direction again.     So what do we do? We do a training and lifestyle audit. Where are we currently? What do we currently do on a repeated basis? It’s only from this position that we can effectively take the appropriate steps to set the compound effect in motion. Once we make our adjustments we don't expect results, we let the compounding of discipline begin. Over a long enough period of time.... you become an "overnight success."     To briefly state all of this... don’t overestimate what you can do in a short time period while underestimating what you can do in a long time period.     "We are what we repeatedly do... excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” -Aristotle    #SalvationSP #SaveYourselfFromMediocrity #SoulTakers #Honor #Strength #Grit #Humility #dontbeaNAF #BootiesByBrad #UpsideofPensacola #WeFinallyGotJosh #WeGotLaneyLoriandJojo #FinallyGotRusty #DidntHaveToWaitLongForJen #WheresAshleigh #TheMillersConverted #TheWilsonsGotCommitted #SmallCommunityHugeImpact #TacticalStrengthandConditioning #TSAC #TacticalTraining⁣ #OpexFitness #LookGoodMoveWell #PersonalizedFitness #ResultsRelationshipsFun #PowerAthlete #BattleTheBullshit #SeeYouAtTheTop    📸: @paytonandersonphotography

THE PUMP    If you've been lifting for a littl THE PUMP    If you've been lifting for a little bit and and you've done some extended rep sets then you've probably experienced a heavy flow of blood that enters the muscles and then doesn't seem to leave for a bit... AKA "the pump”    What is this and how does it contribute to muscle growth?     The primary cause of the pump is reactive hyperemia wherein the muscle contraction triggers increased blood flow to that muscle. As muscles produce more and more force, they rely more and more on anaerobic energy systems, which, unlike aerobic systems, produce rapidly accumulating byproducts. As the metabolic byproducts continues to pool up the muscle becomes irritated and rapidly lowers the force producing capabilities of the muscle.     As the muscle begins to swell and accumulate byproducts it must recruit more and more fibers in order to continue to perform the movement. The presence of these metabolites along with higher recruitment and cell swelling leads to growth in the working muscles.     To wrap it up... don't be ashamed of chasing the pump.     #SalvationSP #SaveYourselfFromMediocrity #SoulTakers #Honor #Strength #Grit #Humility #dontbeaNAF #BootiesByBrad #UpsideofPensacola #WeFinallyGotJosh #WeGotLaneyLoriandJojo #FinallyGotRusty #DidntHaveToWaitLongForJen #WheresAshleigh #TheMillersConverted #TheWilsonsGotCommitted #SmallCommunityHugeImpact #TacticalStrengthandConditioning #TSAC #TacticalTraining⁣ #OpexFitness #LookGoodMoveWell #PersonalizedFitness #ResultsRelationshipsFun #PowerAthlete #BattleTheBullshit #SeeYouAtTheTop
THE MAN IN THE ARENA    Our man Brice put his THE MAN IN THE ARENA    Our man Brice put his abilities on display this past weekend and came out with a victory in his bracket. The things we'd like to highlight from this are the discipline and focus that he displayed leading up to this.     Many don’t know but Brice wakes up at 04:00 to get his training in. On top of that, due to a demanding work schedule, he doesn't always have access to our facility. But nonetheless, Brice didn't make excuses but rather he found a way to get it done and accomplish a goal he had set out for himself.     These character traits are the essence of the Salvation tribe... are they yours as well?     "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."    #SalvationSP #SaveYourselfFromMediocrity #SoulTakers #Honor #Strength #Grit #Humility #dontbeaNAF #BootiesByBrad #UpsideofPensacola #WeFinallyGotJosh #WeGotLaneyLoriandJojo #FinallyGotRusty #DidntHaveToWaitLongForJen #WheresAshleigh #TheMillersConverted #TheWilsonsGotCommitted #SmallCommunityHugeImpact #TacticalStrengthandConditioning #TSAC #TacticalTraining⁣ #OpexFitness #LookGoodMoveWell #PersonalizedFitness #ResultsRelationshipsFun #PowerAthlete #BattleTheBullshit #SeeYouAtTheTop
