I feel like wall sits get a bad wrap because a lot of folks have used them as an accountability measure or “punishment”

They are great for that because it’s really hard to hurt yourself doing them, but they make your legs feel like 💩

However, they are awesome for tendon health and reducing acute and chronic tendon pain

Do 5x45 seconds in your next warm up and see how your knee tendons feel after

You might find you’ll have more freedom to move with less pain!

You’d be hard-pressed to find somebody that got really strong and ended up regretting it

Man, woman, boy, girl, young, old, tall, short … it doesn’t matter everybody can get strong

your physical strength builds your mental strength, your spiritual strength builds your emotional strength

Find ways to challenge yourself, and get strong

Strength is never a weakness

The heart needs stress, and in my experience most people I work with do not do nearly enough anaerobic, repeat effort, sprinting, or bike sprints, or any sort of threshold training

If your VO2 max is atrocious, zone two training is just about worthless

Push yourself, push yourself hard, rest, repeat

do that 1 to 2 times a week, and your winning

The idea that you need 48 hours of complete rest between every single workout is an outdated myth that keeps people out of the gym.

You absolutely can train on back-to-back days—and do it safely—by managing volume, intensity, and exercise selection. Your body doesn’t need a total shutdown to recover; it just needs you to stop smashing the exact same muscle groups with high volume two days in a row.

When you train consecutive days, you rely on directed recovery. By shifting the mechanical stress to different tissues, one system recovers while the other works.

This keeps stimulus high and allows you to fit more quality work into your week without burning out.
Here is what a smart, consecutive-day setup actually looks like:

The Split: You don’t do full-body obliterators two days in a row. You run an Upper/Lower split, a Push/Pull routine, or alternate between a heavy strength day and a lighter, speed-focused power day.

The Stimulus: If you hit heavy compound lifts on day one, day two focuses on different movement patterns, single-joint accessory work, or core and conditioning.

The Volume: Total daily sets are kept crisp and intentional. You leave a couple of reps in the tank (managing your RPE) rather than training to absolute failure on every single set.

Stop waiting for the perfect 48-hour window. Split the workload, manage the intensity, and get the work done.
