Summary
Matt & Niki discuss their pre-workout routines, from when they train, how they plan for training on the road, food, water, clothes: everything about how to properly prepare for training--physically & mentally.
Rituals both help prepare us for training specifically (e.g. laying out our clothes the night before or making some overnight oats ensures our outfit or pre-workout nutrition are ready). Beyond this, however, doing something repeatedly before the same event primes our body & brain for the event.
Training--and habits around training--also help provide a feeling of control during chaotic, challenging times in our lives.
When it comes to preparation for a workout, it can begin far ahead of the workout. When do you plan your workouts? If you program your own workouts, you have to set aside this time. If you have a coach, you may need to communicate things such as vacations or other events that may affect training. You must consider packing clothes and equipment and what equipment the gym will have.
For typical workouts, when do they occur during they day. What do you do prior to and after the workout. How do you ensure you are mentally and physically ready for the workout?
To some degree, simply having a routine will help, as your body will know training will occur, though binging fast food probably is counterproductive.
Matt trains in the morning after urgent work but before important work. He enjoys training and trains with his wife. He also has a list of items and actions that contribute to his routine.
Niki does BJJ in the morning but trains as a way to end the work day. When she trains, she knows she has no more work to complete for the day. Because she has completed her work tasks, she can fully focus for training and not be thinking about work or something she needs to get done. She can take her time and enjoy it.

| 0:00.0 | Hey listeners, this is normally when we would talk about a holiday sale or how |
| 0:07.4 | now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money |
| 0:10.5 | you can save. However, as I met with our marketing team earlier this month to |
| 0:14.8 | discuss promotional ideas, we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes |
| 0:19.3 | for people who want to work with a coach and that called to mind how many of |
| 0:23.1 | our clients got into this for the form corrections and ended up making real |
| 0:27.8 | life transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal |
| 0:31.9 | barbell logic client is not afraid of hard work. They don't just have goals, they |
| 0:36.5 | are driven by continual self-improvement. They pursue strength because they |
| 0:40.7 | care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. We know that |
| 0:45.6 | price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for |
| 0:48.9 | something. But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully |
| 0:53.0 | deciding where to invest their money, they're also very intentional about how they |
| 0:57.3 | invest their time. And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that |
| 1:01.8 | you could waste your time and not see the results you want. If any of this sounds |

| 1:10.8 | workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, we will |
| 1:14.9 | give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case scenario is |
| 1:20.2 | it ends up costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest in yourself |
| 1:24.7 | and you get exactly what you want out of your training. The only risk is about |
| 1:28.7 | on yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where your goals are. |
