Day 18 _ Cut Back

More isn’t better.
Better is better.

Day 18 is about cutting back — not quitting, not losing momentum, but deliberately reducing excess so progress can continue.

Most people stall not because they aren’t doing enough, but because they’re doing too much. Too much volume. Too many goals. Too many decisions. Eventually, something gives — usually consistency.

This session teaches you how to recognise when it’s time to pull back so you can move forward.

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify signs of overload before they become setbacks
• Reduce volume without losing intent
• Protect energy, recovery, and focus
• Stay consistent during busy or stressful periods

Cutting back is a skill. It requires self-awareness, honesty, and confidence in the long game. This isn’t about lowering standards — it’s about removing unnecessary load so the important work stays sharp.

This day reinforces a key performance principle: sustainability drives results. Training, habits, and routines that can’t be maintained eventually collapse. Those that can adapt endure.

Cutting back allows you to:

• Preserve movement quality
• Maintain momentum
• Avoid the boom-and-bust cycle

Strip it back.
Keep the signal strong.
Let progress continue.

Day 18 teaches restraint — a skill every long-term performer needs.

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."

The odds were stacked against me:

● Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work, abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years period of my life

● Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping school

● At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier, at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning coach
38+: The next evolution begins
