Summary

Learn about the good news - the gospel of hard. Hard things done intelligently and consistently create good results.

The Gospel of Hard: Voluntary Hardship

We at Barbell Logic have been spreading the good news of voluntary hardship for years.

Truly, if you expose yourself to hard things, intelligently, consistently, good things will happen.

Truth be told, even if you do this somewhat poorly, the persistent hard work often produces results.

Hard does not feel good, especially at first. But if you repeatedly expose yourself to hard things and overcome them, you will learn to associate hard with opportunity, and build a lifelong habit of pursuing challenges and the fruits of these obstacles.

The Gospel of Hard: Physical & Psychological Benefits

This is Barbell Logic, so clearly we love the physical benefits from strength training.

That being said, the psychological changes matter and may be bigger.

Completing hard tasks builds confidence. It builds a pathway that you can apply in other areas of your life.

A heavy set of squats can help you become a better father or employee or friend.

We obviously love barbell and strength training, but we highly encourage you to pursue something hard regularly, especially in the physical realm.

See the fruits of your efforts.

If you're looking to begin, but are stuck, look for a coach. Look for someone who can help you with technique and programming, but also connects well with you.

Experience the gospel of hard.

0:38.4	Good afternoon again. Good afternoon. Here I am with Andrew Jackson. I am Nicky Sims by the way, but you know that I think by this point. We're best friends now.
0:47.0	So Matt came out with a podcast on Friday that uses a word we talk about frequently. It's almost in one of our
0:55.9	core values. The word is hard. Uniquely hard I believe was the title of the episode.
1:01.8	Yeah. And this is a definitely I believe was the title of the episode. Yep.
1:03.0	And this is a definitely a recurring theme within our company because we like our training to be simple,
1:10.9	hard and effective in the moment of your workouts. We love when we hear our
1:16.5	clients say in any variation it was hard but doable. And a really cool point that
1:22.0	Matt was making is that you kind of need, you need to feel that.
1:25.2	Yeah.
1:26.2	And that it doesn't feel good most of the time.
1:29.2	Or at least, I think when you haven't done a lot of hard things, that feeling is associated with something that's not good.
1:39.0	I think somebody who's been doing hard things almost has like an appetite for doing hard things.
1:47.0	You kind of crave doing hard stuff. I can remember the first time I did a legit squat workout I think it was 3 by 10
1:56.9	probably 135 or something like that was the first time that I ever worked up to a
2:02.1	full range of motion body weight barbell squad.
2:04.3	Went down to the bottom of the Oregon State football training area.
2:08.9	It's a dungeon of a gym at the time. It's now of course I've got some multi-million dollar facility but it was this dark, dirty, old squat rack and the strength
