<p>I love that saying because it sums up LIFE!</p> <p>This is the way life is, it is the way it always has been and I am going to suggest that it is the way it always will be.</p> <p>And that is good!</p> <p>I don’t think it should be any other way because it is through the trials, pains, and failings we ALL experience, that we become the person we are.</p> <p>The better you become at dealing with hardship, struggle, and suffering, the better equipped you are to deal with the crap life is going to throw at you.</p> <p>The younger you are exposed to hardship and challenges, the soon your mind adapts to accepting life as life, and the less likely you are to fall prey to the "poor me" syndrome.</p> <p>Every generation becomes softer than the last as modern ways of living took hold and become part of everyday life.</p> <p>I remember being blown away by a square dot bouncing side to side on the TV screen when the Atari first came out, I remember 2nd year and the NES and everyone talking about the AMAZING graphics.</p> <p>Now our children are born into a world where the internet and computers are just normal.</p> <p>We can video call our family with handheld devices, order anything from anywhere at the click of a button. But this ease of life has its costs.</p> <p>The cost is our ability to deal with discomfort.</p> <p>For generations, humans had to endure hardship daily.</p> <p>Winters were cold, clothes were hand-me-downs, kids slept 6 to a bed, food was whatever was put in front of you and you either ate it or you went hungry.</p> <p>Nowadays kids cry because they don't like peas or carrots or they didn’t want smiley faces and us, the parents, react to their cries like trained chimps and give them what they want, even though they were the ones asked for the food they no longer want in the first place.</p> <p>Are we really doing them a service?</p> <p>Is pandering to their every desire and allowing them to vegetate in front of screens all day, helping them to become the best possible versions of themselves?</p> <p>What happens if the net goes down?</p> <p>What happens if there is a war/natural disaster/alien invasion</p> <p>You get the picture.</p> <p>We grew up building forts and dens, climbing trees, running, jumping, getting dirty.</p> <p>It has been something kids have always done and it is something they still will do IF we expose them to it.</p> <p>We give them the electronic devices because</p> <p>A. There mates have them</p> <p>B. Life has evolved and they are an integral part of society today</p> <p>But that doesn’t mean they need them all the time.</p> <p>Think back to your childhood.</p> <p>Sports, two-man hunt, football in the street, scouts, rainy holidays in a caravan in some coastal area of Ireland playing snakes and ladders or yatzy or watching a black & white tv powered off a car battery.</p> <p>But we LOVED THEM!</p> <p>We went out in the morning and didn't come back to we were hungry then back out again, you couldn’t keep us inside if you tried.</p> <p>Nowadays it’s the complete opposite and WE are responsible!</p> <p>We are the parents and we gotta own this shit because then we open the door to changing that.</p> <p>We are helping to shape their outlook on life.</p> <p>What happens in 25 years when these snowflake kids are faced with REAL LIFE CHANGING decisions and events?</p> <p>This is why the likes of weightlifting, martial arts, team sports, athletics, etc are so important for development.</p> <p>It teaches ownership</p> <p>It teaches responsibility</p> <p>It exposes them to pain</p> <p>It exposes them to suffering</p> <p>It exposes them to self doubt</p> <p>It removes the blame on others</p> <p>It shows them that they are the deciding factor in their success</p> <p>It doesn’t care if they are finding things tough or not, it is there to conquer or be conquered</p>

<p>Why do you train the way you do?</p> <p>For most people, it’s a really simple answer</p> <p>“Because that’s how you were shown to train”</p> <p>We believe when it comes to weights, we all need to do certain moves.</p> <p>These all involve a barbell</p> <p>Shoulder Press</p> <p>Bent Over Row</p> <p>Bench Press</p> <p>Deadlift</p> <p>Squat</p> <p>Why? Well there are a few common reasons</p> <ul> <li>If you only ever did these five exercises, you would be pretty strong</li> <li>Most PT’s you hire will have been trained to use the barbell as their main tool</li> <li>The barbell is synonymous with getting strong and putting n muscle</li> </ul> <p>But just because others are using them, does it mean you should be as well? My opinion is a resounding NO!</p> <p>In fact, I would go as far as to say that for the vast majority of the demographic I train, a barbell is not necessarily the best way to train for the goals they are trying to achieve</p> <p>A barbell is a TOOL!</p> <p>It has thousands of ways to be used and the purpose for how or IF you use it is determined by the goal of the individual</p> <p>Let’s use the squat as an example.</p> <p>Never in the history of modern lifting has there ever been a more misused exercise.</p> <p>We live in a world where the VAST majority of our time is spent sitting or lying. Compare this to 100 years ago, when we were much more active due to working requirements and access to sugar and a multitude of other food additives that weren’t part of everyday life.</p> <p>We were fitter and more mobile AND we had no PT’s or science papers explaining how’s and why’s of what we were doing, we just did it because it made sense.</p> <p>These men and women would have had the ability to squat safely but sadly not us. It doesn’t mean there are people out there who can, nor does it mean that everyone reading this couldn’t get themselves to a point where it is possible, I just mean that as it stands, in my experience, most people I train, do not need or should not do barbell back squats.</p> <p>EVERYONE who sets foot in Primal is first given a light bell and shown how to goblet squat. This is one of the most underutilised exercises there is and if you aren’t capable of at LEAST 50% of your body weight for 10 reps, then there is no need to be under a barbell.</p> <p>The goblet squat will probably produce better results for the muscles you need to train to allow a safe and strong barbell squat.</p> <p>The same applies to ALL of the barbell exercises I mentioned. For a lot of untrained people, they are down the road, there are much better and safer options to use that will build the foundational levels of strength required to allow longevity in your training while keeping you safe.</p> <p>This is why spending time looking for a coach with a solid reputation is one of the most beneficial things you can do when starting out training again. Why risk injury or waste time making so many mistakes when there are people out there with the skills and knowledge to help you avoid the pitfalls and take you closer to your goals in a much faster time</p>
