Rick.Fit Training

Next week I’ll begin as the strength coach for 40+ teen girls. By winter I might be coaching over a hundred. 1/2 of them are going to spend the first month or two trying to convince me that they don’t want to look buff. Then they’ll explain how women aren’t supposed to be strong. Then they’ll do their best to convince me that women are actually fragile and shouldn’t be tough. "Im not a boy" they’ll say.

They will shrink themselves to please weak men and lazy women.

Please 🙏🏾 every time a woman gets called a man for being assertive, or strong, or dominant, or for any reason, all the other girls around them shrink just a little out of fear of being called manly or unattractive.

We should be teaching our girls to be as strong/stronger than the men. As a man, father of 3 boys, I say everyone needs to get stronger. My boys need strong people around them. My kids want other capable people in their lives. I don't want them carrying around a bunch of dead weight just because insecure little boys need someone to make them feel superior.

Besides, it's plain to me the strongest people in my life have NEVER been the men only.

She was born a woman, grew up a woman, competed with women… they still mad.
Apparently, in their minds, women can’t be that good.

Are you still striving to stay fit? We all are. Change is constant and never-ending.
Do you want to discover the secret to developing consistent, progressive, and rewarding fitness habits? It's simple:
Play.
Play every day.
Play whenever you can.
Serious play is the most effective.
Find joy in everything you do.

I believe in nothingness… if you don’t understand, just ask. I’m as woo woo as the next person. There’s a reason I dont speak in vibes and riddles.

Words like ”energy” and “vibes” are tools that have been used to exclude, shame, and ultimately oppress people considered outsiders, non believers and “weird” people. They can be tools for the authoritarian and/or xenephobe.

Do I believe in “vibes” or energy or intuition? Of course I do.
I don’t believe those words are always necessary. I can use better, more relatable words.

Beware of those people throwing these words around. If they can’t use other words, they probably don’t understand what they are saying… or worse, they do and don’t want to say it out loud.

Tbh I’m kinda sick of this place… but I love hanging with my boys.

The "alpha male" myth, debunked

Not sure who needs to hear this…
You are going to have to test your greatness with diverse experiences. Better yet, grow stronger with disciplined exposure to various circumstances.
If you are always successful, it’s likely you haven’t actually competed. Change is good.

Jason Sudeikis got jokes 😅
