On this episode of BPR, Derrick sits down to outline how your ego is holding you back. The conversation was inspired by a recent discussion with https://www.instagram.com/iamnickpags/ (Nick Pags), the founder of Project Limitless and an all-around bad-ass, world-class mindset coach. In that call, Nick introduced us to the Four Survival Strategies of ego: The need to be right The need to look good The need to be safe/comfortable The need to be in control Now, we assume that as you read through those strategies, at least one (if not all) resonated with you. As Nick introduced that concept, Derrick openly admitted that he identified with all four, and that's okay. However, the questions becomes, how do you check your ego? How do you prevent your ego from hijacking your life?

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I bring you the unpopular truth on how long it takes to build muscle, gain strength, and increase power. Regardless of what your favorite #fitspo claims on Instagram, there are no magic formulas, revolutionary training programs, or nutrition hacks that accelerate progress. Building muscle, gaining strength, and increasing power requires discipline, consistency, and patience. It takes YEARS to develop those components of fitness, not months or weeks, and certainly not days. We're here to explain EXACTLY why that's the case, and outline what you need to know as it relates to #GAINZ.
