The human brain is a pretty interesting organ, without any conscious thought we can do things - our brain has automated certain processes, and efficient as it is, we work on (semi) auto-pilot. Did you also know you can change habits? That’s right, even your shit habits. Nothing comes easy. Yes, humans are creatures of habit. But we’re also, by nature, lazy as shit. Energy preservation is an innate part of human survival. But, some of our habits develop and stick because we quite simply can’t be fucked to do more than the absolute minimum. So we develop a habit of minimal effort. Yes, dedication to continually improving yourself, professionally or physically is a habit. One that must be cultivated. The numbers aren’t exactly encouraging, it takes about 2/3 repetitions of a certain “bad” behaviour for it to become habit. “Ok, so how long do I consciously have to avoid certain behaviour for it to no longer be a habit?” Between 6 to 10 weeks. Get fucked, right? Do something twice and it sticks, but I want to stop and I’ve got to deliberately focus on it for 6 fucking weeks? Pretty much, the numbers don’t lie. There’s are numerous peer-reviewed articles on the subject. In a nutshell. “In one study, volunteers wanting to lose weight were randomised to a habit-based intervention, based on a brief leaflet listing 10 simple diet and activity behaviours and encouraging context-dependent repetition, or a no-treatment waiting list control. After 8 weeks, the intervention group had lost 2 kg compared with 0.4 kg in the control group. At 32 weeks, the intervention group had lost an average of 3.8 kg. Qualitative interview data indicated that automaticity had developed: behaviours became ‘second nature’, ‘worming their way into your brain’ so that participants ‘felt quite strange’ if they did not do them.” Motivate, activate and use this knowledge to your advantage. And for everything in-between, we can help you fill in the gaps. #skilledathlete #comfortisaslowdeath #ytb #shoot #program #platform #lift #run #swim #cycle #row #train #strength #conditioning #progress #strong #athlete #defence #army #airforce #navy #police #australia #veterans #functional https://www.instagram.com/p/ByebIYlALuD/?igshid=18jcgpmc9maum

"I did everything by the seat of my pants. That's why I got hurt so much." - Evel Knievel Crazy to stand on top of this mound, where the structure once stood, and a man thought, "Yep. I'll think I'll send a rocket across this river and canyon." #twinfallsidaho #idaho #evelknievel #snakeriverjump #livefreeordie #comfortisaslowdeath (at Evel Knievel jump site attempt from 1974) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDP-JWDAjoj/?igshid=1k6hskrpfsm4f

Comfort is a slow death! As a masters competitor, you get and stay strong or wither away! Great shirt tonight by @skilledathlete on Viking press from tonight. 4 kg off comp weight 4 weeks our 4x3. Last set went a little over my 3. Stoked on progress on these! Back in Feb, I'd never done a viking press. Come a little way since my first session on this implement back then with @gerard_mac at the @rawperformanceden in Port Mac! 5 weeks out and getting very keen! @coalcitystrongman @eastcoastsupplements @eastcoastsupplements_rt @eastcoastsupplementsrutherford @hunterstrengthandperformance #strongman #strong #strength #strengthtraining #coalcitystrongman #coalcitystrong #ccs #coalcity #hsp #hunterstrengthandperformance #eastcoastsupplements #eastcoast #eastcoastsupps #teamecs #dothework #ecs #skilledathlete #comfortisaslowdeath #vikingpress #overheads (at Coal City Strongman) https://www.instagram.com/p/B21ND3nAfV-/?igshid=1488z96zw7ei7

I am happy to have built this small temple these last 4 months. When I enter, progress is the goal. Not only strength, but what can I do to expand to use the space wisely. What piece of equipment would be beneficial? It's my getaway. My release. That being said, I'm ready to hit the road and see something other than my office/warehouse, house, and garage gym. Adventure awaits. #garagegym #SSmittysGarageGym #comfortisaslowdeath (at Smitty's Garage Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDAZObNg466/?igshid=q239zut34sp9
