The Consistency Report – Volume 9

Your Friday dose of fitness, mindset, and lifestyle takeaways to help you stay dialed in.

My twins turned five this week.

As you can probably expect, having twins is no joke. I already had my oldest daughter when they were born, so I thought I knew what I was in for. I didn’t. One baby is tough. Two at the exact same time is a whole different game.

Those early days felt endless—diapers, feedings, no sleep. The saying “the days are long but the years are short” couldn’t be more true. I blinked, and now they’re five.

It made me think about how much the little things add up over time.

With kids, every small routine, every late night, and every moment of consistency add up to something bigger.

Fitness works the same way.

You don’t wake up one day strong, lean, or healthy. It’s the result of hundreds of small choices over months and years that quietly compound until the results are impossible to miss.

Here is what I have for you this week.

Fitness

I get asked all the time if there are any over-the-counter testosterone-boosting supplements that actually work.

The truth? Not really—at least not in the way most people imagine.

There are a few vitamins and minerals that can help if you’re deficient, but the big levers are all lifestyle: sleep, stress management, and maintaining a healthy body composition. These are the things that move the needle the most, and they’re completely within your control.

I wrote an article this week breaking it all down.

Mindset

No one is going to give you permission to work toward your goals.

Have you heard of the Eisenhower Time Matrix? It breaks tasks into four categories:

  • Urgent and important

  • Important but not urgent

  • Urgent but not important

  • Neither urgent nor important

Most people live in the urgent and important category. But the real game-changer is the important but not urgent box. That’s where long-term goals live—learning a new skill, starting a side hustle, writing a book, or prioritizing your fitness.

These things shape the life you actually want, but they’re easy to neglect because no one is demanding that you work on them. That means it’s on you to make them a priority.

First, recognize what your important but not urgent tasks are. Then, start each day by working on one of them before doing anything else.

What I’ve Been Into

Rebuilding My Bench Press:
I took about a year off from barbell bench, but I’m making a comeback. I’ve been adding it back in over the past month and slowly building weight each week. Thinking it’s time to hop on some more structured programming. Goal: back to 400+

Here’s a clip of an easy single at 345lbs, followed by 8 at 275lbs:

Happy Gilmore 2:
Okay, what did you guys think? It had some funny parts—a lot of nostalgia and cameos. It’s hard to revisit a classic. The original was so good. Honestly, most of Adam Sandler’s 90s/early 2000s movies were: Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Big Daddy, The Waterboy, The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates. That was a different era of comedy. They don’t make them like they used to, lol.

This Week’s Podcast

The Only 10 Exercises You Need [Q&A] | EP 516
Derek and I tackle some big-picture questions every lifter thinks about—starting with the only 10 exercises we’d pick if we had to train with them for life. We also talk about knowing when to switch programs (or stay the course), the one nutrition rule we wish everyone followed, whether chasing strength can hurt muscle growth, and which athlete we’d pick to train with for a week.

Final Thought

Kids turning five reminded me of something: when they want something, they just go for it. Relentlessly. They don’t overthink, make a list of pros and cons, or wait for the “right time.” They just start.

Sometimes that’s the mindset we need with our own goals.

Less planning. More doing.

Have a great weekend.
