The Language Came Later. The Reps Came First.

For thirty-six years, I’ve been doing the same thing.

Picking up heavy things & putting them back down.

Do I think everyone should lift weights? Absolutely.

But not because of body composition, longevity, bone density, or any of the reasons you’re expecting.

I think everyone should have a practice they return to often enough to meet themselves.

For me, that place is the weight room.

• I found my voice there

• I learned to fail there

• I learned to trust myself there

• I learned that growth rarely looks dramatic while it’s happening there

Which is why Pick Up Heavy Things & Put Them Back Down isn’t really a fitness book.

It’s a reflection on one of the places where consistency shaped me and while *my* practice involved barbells, yours may look entirely different.

Pick Up Heavy Things and Put Them Back Down is the third book in The Consistency Advantage series and a companion to Everyday Consistency: The Hidden Power of Showing Up.

Everyday Consistency explores the broader principles of showing up and the companion books focus on specific places where we learn to put consistency into practice.

This one just happens to take place in the weight room.

Pre-orders coming soon.
