    In this week’s Quickcast, Justin breaks down the myth that you need to be “fit enough” before joining—and shares one small action you can take to move forward now, not later.

  • Show Up at 60%
    May 24 2025

    ...The truth is, those “just show up” days add up faster than the perfect ones.

    At Woodshed, this is something we coach every day. We’ll meet you at 60%, 40%, or whatever you’ve got—and help you keep moving forward.

    So try it this week. Don’t wait for full energy.

    Pick a day when you feel worn out—and show up anyway. Go through the warmup. Do something light. Call it a win.

    This season, we're keeping it simple: one action each week, tied to what we’re talking about in the gym, on our blog, and on social.

    This week’s focus? How often do you really need to train?

    (Here’s a hint: it’s probably less than you think.)

    Tune in to hear why 2-3 workouts a week might be all you need—and what you can do today to make progress without burning out.

  • All She Wrote for Season 1
    Apr 22 2025

    🎙️ We just wrapped Season 1 of the Woodshed Strength Quickcast.

    20 episodes, all focused on clear, simple advice you can actually use—to lift better, move more, and feel stronger.

    Season 2 launches next week, and we’re narrowing the focus. Each episode will connect directly to the weekly theme we’re covering—and it’s all built around one question:

    What can I do this week to move the needle forward?

    Not what to think about. Not what to plan for. What to do.

    If you’ve been stuck in the noise or overwhelmed by options, this next season is for you. One action step. Every week.

    🎧 Listen to the Season 1 wrap-up episode—link in comments.

  • Fast Mornings, Slow Mornings
    Apr 2 2025

    Do you need to dunk your head into a bowl of ice water (and then journal about it) every morning to start your day off right?

    Maybe, maybe not. Regimented, multi-step morning routines work wonders for some.

    But for others, perhaps a slower, gentler approach might start the day off a little bit better...

    And for those of you whose ears just pricked up, let's talk slow morning routines on this episode of the Woodshed Strength Quickcast.

    Smell the coffee!
