Summary
People build strong families through strength training. We're, of course, not simply talking about physical strength, but emotionally and spiritually strong families, who witness each other overcome hard things and help each other out through life's difficulties.
Strong Families through Strength Training
Mac started his fitness journey as a young lad preparing for the hurdles of the Royal Air Force. He deployed multiple times, and felt lucky to be able to complete certain extremely challenging training.
He means lucky.
What he noticed, looking back on this training, is people succumbed to injuries when heavy things needed to be carried. Despite being young, lean, and "fit," people who ran a bunch and completed many callisthenic exercises and circuit training were unprepared to carry heavy things over long distance. No one really considered strength training.
Mac and his wife had shared running together. In the middle of a deployment, Mac had his wife smoke him on a 10k run after he had been unable to run for a long period. They enjoyed the shared activity of physically difficult things.
Then, hardship struck the McGregor family.
Mac face ulcerative colitis (UC) and his wife had a stroke. He face medical retirement as the provider for his family. Involuntary hardship reared its head.
Strong Families through Voluntary Hardship
Mac had decided to sign up for strength training with Barbell Logic and had seen positive benefits to his health and fitness. Mac tried to coach his wife, but it did not work. Ultimately, Joel Rasmussen, a Barbell Logic coach from Australia, became her coach and remained her coach since 2019.
His wife has been able to return to physical activities she never thought she would do again. While the progress has been anything but linear, she has regained capabilities.
Furthermore, their children witness them both lifting and doing hard things. They seem their mom and dad getting under the bar, overcoming gravity, and getting stronger and more capable.
Strength training has provided a source of physical, emotional, and spiritual strength. For many people, like the McGregors, they can become strong families through strength training.

| 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 |
| 0:13.8 | earlier this month to discuss promotional ideas, |
| 0:16.5 | we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes |
| 0:19.4 | for people who want to work with a coach. |
| 0:21.4 | And that call to mind how many of our clients got into |
| 0:24.4 | this for the form corrections and ended up making real life |
| 0:28.1 | transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal Barbel logic client is not afraid of hard work. |
| 0:35.0 | They don't just have goals. |
| 0:36.0 | They are driven by continual self-improvement. |
| 0:39.0 | They pursue strength because they care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. |
| 0:44.8 | We know that price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for something. |
| 0:50.0 | But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully deciding where to invest their money, |
| 0:55.0 | they're also very intentional about how they invest their time. |
| 0:58.0 | And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that you could waste your time and not see the results you want. |
| 1:04.4 | If any of this sounds like you I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months |
| 1:09.7 | of two to four workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, |
| 1:14.5 | we will give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case scenario |
| 1:20.1 | is 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 a bet on |
| 1:28.8 | yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where your goals are. |
