Most people think progressive overload only means adding weight to the bar.
That is one method. A good one, too. But it is far from the only way to make progress.
Over my last few training cycles, both personally and inside Axis Team Training, we've been using percentage based progressions for a l...
Back when I was more into bodybuilding style training, I hated cardio.
Loved lifting. Loved chasing strength numbers. Loved the pump. Loved physique progress. But running or biking or anything of the sorts? I absolutely dreaded it.
I remember having certain days in my training that were almost ent...
Over the last 10+ years coaching, Iâve worked with a lot of different people.
Different goals. Different backgrounds. Different starting points.
And yet the people who truly change their lives tend to have the same patterns.
Itâs rarely the most athletic person. Rarely the person with the âperfec...
Most people completely ignore sprinting.
They lift. They do some steady state cardio. Maybe some interval type training here and there. But all out sprinting? Rare or never. Thatâs no good!Â
Because sprinting trains something most people are actively losing as they age⌠and most people never reali...
Most training programs live almost entirely in the sagittal plane.
Squat. Hinge. Press. Pull. Lunge. Run forward. Bike forward. None of that is bad. You need those things.
But if your program never asks you to produce, resist, control, or decelerate rotation, it is missing a massive piece of human...

This was one of those âwhat do I have in the fridge?â meals.
No grocery trip. No fancy ingredients. No measuring cups! đł
I eyeballed everything. And it turned out pretty damn good.
High protein. Low fat. Easy to meal prep. Took maybe 10 minutes to throw together.
I made it two ways:

Most people are wired to believe one thing about training:
More is better. Heavier is better. More sessions is better. Longer sessions is better.
More sets, more reps, more miles, more suffering⌠more progress.
And maybe sometimes thatâs true.
But a lot of the time, that mindset just turns into mo...
There was a time when I didnât fully realize just how much stepping into the gym would impact my life. At first, it was about getting stronger, moving better, and feeling good in my own skin. But over time, training became so much more than just lifting weights or hitting a new PR. It became the fou...
When I first started actually giving a shit about my nutrition, it wasnât because I suddenly loved tracking food or reading labels.
It was because I knewâvery clearlyâthat if I wanted a better looking body and better health, nutrition was the lever I couldnât ignore anymore.
