DISCIPLINE & MOTIVATION       Many times t DISCIPLINE & MOTIVATION       Many times the things that make or break someones success in training is their ability to stay motivated and disciplined through the process. What tends to happen is someone has a reason for action (motive). When a reason gets brought to the surface it typically brings with it a high level of enthusiasm. Over time, the enthusiasm fades and the difficulty of the pursuit slaps us right in the face.       This is a critical moment and one that repeats throughout the course of your pursuit. We need to have a keen awareness for when enthusiasm fades because this is when we must employ discipline. Discipline is simply the expression of our commitments through actions. It's a self enforcement of behavior which lacks energy or positive emotion yet yields a positive outcome towards our motives.       Next time you feel a "lack of motivation" reframe it and tell yourself you’re only lacking enthusiasm and enthusiasm will come and go. Motivation is still there. You had a reason for the behavior you are supposed to do. Discipline only works if there is a motive... a reason to do something regardless of the emotion around it. If you can keep the motive at the top of mind and then master the skill of action without enthusiasm... then you become unstoppable.       #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

INDIVIDUALITY & SPECIFICITY A principle is a fund INDIVIDUALITY & SPECIFICITY A principle is a fundamental truth that explains how something works. In training, there are fundamental principles that when violated result in unsuccessful outcomes. The methods of training are many and can be overwhelming but principles never change. We have to have the ability to look at our training through the lens of principles. This is one of the driving reasons why we utilize custom programs for our clients. When a large group of people are pushed into a single training program the principles of individuality and specificity tend to get violated. Individuality - Every exercise method will elicit different results for different people. Everyone has a different training history, a different schedule, different stressors outside the gym which leads to different recovery timelines. Specificity - The training stress needs to be specific to the desired adaptation. We must implement methods that reflect the desired goal. Do we want to lose fat? Build muscle? Get stronger? Have more endurance? What modalities do we need to be competent in? We have to pick which one we're going for and specifically stress in that direction. Only complete beginners will enhance multiple qualities at once to a significant degree. When you implement these two principals you optimize your training. If you’re interested in how your training can reflect your specific goals and individual factors then schedule a free consult with one of our professional coaches. #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
CONFIDENCE & HUMILITY       These two trai CONFIDENCE & HUMILITY       These two traits could be some of the biggest byproducts of training. When you have a high amount of confidence and humility you carry yourself differently. Regardless if the training is for performance or body composition, that byproduct arguably could be the only one anyone ever needs.       True confidence is a level of trust and belief in your character and capabilities that can only be built through humbly addressing and overcoming adverse experiences.       Confidence isn't arrogance. The truly confident don’t need to prove themselves to others. They know what it took to foster the capabilities they currently hold and there is no need to posture or create an illusion of greater strength than is actually possessed. They know exactly who they are and where they stand. The non confident are insecure in their position so they must put on a show.       When you leave the gym after a day of honest self evaluation against objective measures which demonstrate your competence and capabilities you foster true confidence and humility together. Everyday is a chance to honor your commitments to yourself, to challenge yourself physically and prove that you’re living up to your values and goals. Nothing outside of yourself can rock you of that foundation of character.       Its a new week... go get some.       #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
BUILD MUSCLE & BURN FAT?      A very commo BUILD MUSCLE & BURN FAT?      A very common question we receive about training is can you build muscle while simultaneously burning fat? We understand that this is highly desired for many who are training but unfortunately there are only a couple of circumstances where this will actually happen.       1. You've never trained with weights before or have very little exercise history
   • Adding resistance training to the schedule for the first time will create a new stimulus and a demand for an adaptation of muscle growth. In addition it will aid in burning calories which could help with fat loss. 
   2. You've never followed a proper diet to support lean body composition 
   • By supplying the body with the appropriate nutrients and proper amount of energy (calories) we can create adaptations that will lead to the development of muscle and the removal of fat. 
   If you fall into these categories then you have a possibility of building muscle while also losing fat. Be aware that whatever gains you get will also be short lived. Once the gains stop then next step will be to take a phasic approach to EITHER building muscle OR burning fat.       The gist of this is in order to lose fat we have to put ourselves into a caloric deficit (burn more calories than we're taking in) While in a deficit we’re putting our bodies in a breakdown mode which means the addition of muscle is nearly impossible especially if you have training experience and or are already on the leaner side.       If you'd like to learn more about how building muscle or burning fat works feel free to book a consultation with one of our coaches.       #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
TOUGHNESS      If you are a student of the TOUGHNESS      If you are a student of the fitness industry or you follow many of the so called influencers then you have no doubt come across someone touting their training as toughness training or training to make themselves mentally and physically harder. If you see such things just know this, just doing hard things for the sake of being hard does not make you tough.... and anyone who is actually tough doesn't need to brag about it anyway.       If you’re interested in the concept of toughness then I highly recommend Greg Everett's (@catalystathletics) new book Tough. In the book he lays out a framework of elements that when developed build mental, physical, and emotional hardiness.    • Character - Who are you? Are you extremely secure in that identity? This is defined by your stated values and backed up by your actual behaviors. 
   • Capability - What are you able to do? Can you perform in a broad range of settings? Are you continually developing new skills and collecting new experiences? 
   • Capacity - What are you able to withstand? Can you cope with stress and adversity for extended bouts? Can you physically and mentally endure unpleasant experiences? 
   • Commitment - What are you willing to do? Are you psychologically prepared to cope with unpredictability and be totally committed to the process? 
   Toughness is a valuable trait when developed appropriately but it takes deep reflection and extreme honesty when asking yourself where you stand on the above traits. True toughness could be a dying value in todays society but it doesn't have to be. Develop and immerse yourself in a culture that values character, capability, capacity, and commitment. #SALVATION      #SalvationSP #SaveYourselfFromMediocrity #SoulTakers #Honor #Strength #Grit #Humility #dontbeaNAF #BootiesByBrad #UpsideofPensacola #WeFinallyGotJosh #WeGotLaneyLoriandJojo #FinallyGotRusty #DidntHaveToWaitLongForJen #WheresAshleigh #TheMillersConverted #TheWilsonsGotCommitted #SmallCommunityHugeImpact⁣ #OpexFitness #LookGoodMoveWell #PersonalizedFitness #ResultsRelationshipsFun #PowerAthlete #BattleTheBullshit #SeeYouAtTheTop      📸: @paytonandersonphotography

COORDINATION        At Salvation, we t COORDINATION        At Salvation, we train athleticism. Even if a client’s goals are completely aesthetic in nature, we challenge them to continue to enhance their range of movement abilities and efficiency. We do this because this leads to a higher quality of life outside the gym setting and allows us the confidence of being able to perform tasks instead of just being really good at flexing in the gym... NAFsss (#IYKYK)         Many so called functional training programs claim to enhance coordination without a complete understanding of the process required for proper development. Just slapping complex movements on the board for the sake of coordination is a common yet asinine path to develop coordinated movement.         Coordination is the ability to select the right muscles at the right time with proper intensity to achieve a desired action. Coordinated movement is characterized by appropriate speed, distance, direction, timing and muscular tension. This happens via two pathways:        • Inter-muscular coordination - the synchronization or sequencing between different muscle groups which are producing a given joint movement. 
    • Intra-muscular coordination - the controlled firing of muscle fibers. This includes the number, the rate, and the pattern of muscle fiber activation. 
    Properly developing coordination comes down to progressive overload... not secret squirrel ninja movements. Someone who is new to training needs to get REPETITIVE multi-joint movement with increased loading that challenges muscle action.         Routine is not your enemy.         #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
AUDACITY & TENACITY    Think about any one of AUDACITY & TENACITY    Think about any one of the many people throughout history who have accomplished something extraordinary. They accomplished something that was against the odds. Examples of Paralympic athletes, disabled veterans, or cancer survivors who had to fight like hell to do the things they wanted to do and to continue to provide value to those that cared about.    Two characteristics that all resilient people share are audacity and tenacity. Audacity in the boldness and willingness to commit to something that many would bow out of. It's an unwavering belief that even though what's in front of you looks daunting... it can ultimately be conquered.     Tenacity is the discipline required to stay on the path. It's the steadfast grip you have on the process required to accomplish the audacious goal. Tenacity is what shows up when things are really hard, when it seems crazy to keep moving forward. It is the fight required to accomplish the extraordinary.     Here’s the takeaway... anyone can do something extraordinary if you have the audacity to believe you can and then the tenacity to back it up. Don’t cower away from your goals. Be bold, fight like hell and you’ll always be of higher character than any worthless and untested critic.     #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
