TRAINING DAY! Reducing Stress While Increasing Productivity, Building Brotherhood, and Secrets to Physical Transformation

Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode.

EP090 - TRAINING DAY! Today's episode is inspired by EP089 of IBI with my Brother J. Stamatelos. Check it out on Spotify or Apple Podcast.

Shout-out to my Brother BobbyT (@justbobbyt) for helping me see that I was committing one of the cardinal sins when it comes to training - putting Quantity over Quality. It's time to start focusing on QUALITY once again by making every rep (aka episode) count by pairing each up with a solo episode highlighting the mighty MMU.

Here is our Training Split for today's episode:

💪🏾 Day 1 - Physical + Emotional Health & Fitness: What can you do when you've managed to put your emotions on the back burner so you can still get shit done but you're not enjoying the level of peace, fulfillment, and excitement that you want out of life? (5:50)

Notable Quotable #1 - “I think it starts with not being afraid of your feelings in the first place.”


💪🏾 Day 2 - Relationship Health & Fitness: How do you ensure you're surrounding yourself with Brothers who will honor you for who you are, help you see through your own bullshit, and ultimately help you step into the powerful truth of who you are? (16:35)

Notable Quotable #2 -  “I do really think that what we want most is to be loved for who we really are and if we are always wearing a mask that’s impossible because at no point are we actually getting love.”


💪🏾 Day 3 - Full-Body aka PREP: How do you get over the stress of being a perfectionist who insists on doing it all alone so that you can reduce your levels of stress and get more shit done in less time all while enjoying the process way more than you currently are?

Notable Quotable #3 -  “Living in a hyper-competitive yet isolated world is perfect for cultivating a deep inner critic that generates shame because if I live in a world where I’m dependent only on myself and my success and failure is dependent on me I need to be as close to perfect as possible because any personal flaw can be a disaster. I don’t have a tribe behind me.”


💪🏾 Day 4 - Physical Health & Fitness: How can a man who suffers from poor body image learn to both love and respect his body more and stop shitting all over himself for not being as 'jacked' or as 'ripped' as he believes he should be?

Notable Quotable #4 -  “No one has to try to be this amazing person that’s without flaw. No! That’s not the game we’re playing here. This is not about becoming perfect. This is about healing and improving the relationship with yourself and you do not need to be perfect for that to happen.” 

 👊🏾 GIVE A SPOT. GET A SPOT.

When it comes to the ultimate workout that is everyday life, we all need a spot from time to time to carry the weight of relationships, mental health, work, and living with purpose.

Share this episode with a Brother you sense needs a spot or if you're the one struggling to lift the weight, share it with the one guy you know is always there to give you a spot when you need it.

I'm all about giving a spot when a Brother needs one so feel free to hit me up for a spot on IG @ignitetheimapct so we can train together
