As things develop here at Travis County Strength, one thing that you'll notice is all the new stuff we have to do "fun activities" with! The methods that we use to develop mental and physical strength require a wide range of tools.

We do NOT specialize.
We do NOT periodize.
We simply WORK.

For some of you out there, the idea of not having a 12-month training plan with mirco-cycles and transition phases is blasphemy. I get it. The notion that each and every day that you enter TCS your one and only job is to work hard is crazy. That's OK.....we are kinda crazy....

You see, every single day that you and I walk this earth, we face new stimuli in unique combinations. To simplify: Every day is completely different and unique. The same can be said for the demands that are placed on you.

So, if you agree....which I think you probably do...Why would you then schedule, plan, set-up, complicate something so simple as WORK? The only answer I'll accept is that you are a specialist, in which case, continue on your way. Otherwise, you have been mislead.

Of course, all of this is my opinion, which you can agree with or completely discount - either is fine, really. I bring this up only to present some compelling questions that (hopefully) get you thinking about what you're doing and why you're doing it.

In the mean time, we'll be having one helluva time working hard and challenging ourselves in as many unique scenarios as we can possibly think of - Just so we're ready for whatever tomorrow brings our way.

Besides showing off our super sweet new farmers handles, I wanted to share this as an example of the "Train by Braille" mentality that we base our work on. This was completely impromptu....and one helluva good workout!
