#58 - The Difference Between Gym Strong & Uniform Strong
A sub-6:00 mile doesn't mean you can carry equipment up four flights of stairs and still make decisions. A 1000lb club total doesn't mean your body holds up under sustained operations. And green on a tracker? That just means you're good at taking tests.
This episode breaks down what most people get wrong about being Uniform Strong.
We're talking about:
- Gym Strong vs. Uniform Strong
- Why "passing" standards are designed to keep you average (and what to aim for instead)
- The standards for being Uniform Strong
- What happens when you stop training for the gym and start training for who you need to become
The question isn't: What can you do when you're fresh?
The question is: Who are you when everything falls apart?
Uniform Strong isn't about being the best at one thing. It's about being ready for everything - today, tomorrow, and five years from now.
Let's get after it.
