I'm breaking down why I will always go back to strength training no matter what season, prep, or goal I'm chasing.

I also make my case for why strength should always be the foundation underneath any goal whether that's a marathon, an Ironman, HYROX, or just playing with your kids. I also introduce our new Strength Collection: Pre, Pump, and Post, a three-product system built to maximize your training.

I sat down with my wife Stef, Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East, and former NFL player Andrew East to dig into their new book, The Courage to Commit.

We talk about why this generation is running from commitment, how defining your family values creates real peace, the collateral damage that comes from being committed to the wrong things, what Shawn and Andrew learned about commitment after their elite athletic careers ended, and why the deepest joys come after, not before, you plant your flag and go all in.
