From chasing PRs to building movement literacy.

There was a time when I thought more effort = more results.

So I trained like a maniac:

• High intensity every session

• Five workouts a week

• Big lifts, big soreness, no breaks

It looked good on paper.
But underneath, my body was falling apart.

Low back pain.
Dead grip.
Sleep wrecked.
And the worst part? I started dreading the thing I once loved.

Then I learned the thing nobody told me:

That’s when I shifted from intensity to integrity.
From chasing PRs to building movement literacy.

I started rebuilding from the ground up:

• Barefoot walks in the morning

• Carries with buckets and kettlebells

• Hanging to fix shoulder compression

• Breathing drills to restore core function

• Strength work only 2–3x/week, never to failure

Suddenly my posture fixed itself.
My sleep got deeper.
I wasn’t tired all day anymore.

What changed?
I stopped lifting like someone who hated their body.
I started moving like someone who wanted their system to last 50 more years.

If you’re tired of feeling broken but still want to be strong, don’t stop training.

Just train the system, not the muscles.
