Do you consider yourself free? I used to watch braveheart as a ritual before fights. When William Wallace gets publicly hung,l and tortured, he screams out FREEDOM. That got me thinking. Freedom is a mental and spiritual decision you can make. Even when you are being killed, freedom is there to access. To have freedom we must be diciplined, we must have a higher purpose, and we must take action and put in the work. I’m loving this subject for the first month of 2026. To help me create training around this idea I need your feedback. Rate your freedom in these areas from 1-10 , 10 being completely free. Whatever that means to you. 1. Physically (are you a slave to your body or are you free?) 2.Financially (are you able to do what you want and need within reason) 3. Overall mentally ( is your mindset and mental toughness at the point of being unstoppable, your ability to bounce back is strong, nothing phases you? 4. Spiritually ( do you trust gods plan, or are you at odds with who you are and what you are supposed to do? Are you connected to the Holy Spirit and can access the fruits of the spirit so to speak?)

Hey guys, I've had some t-shirt designs I can't get off my mind lately. So, I've put one together, but I need some honest feedback. I know most of you aren't car guys like I am, but I'm willing to bet we all wear or have worn graphic design t-shirts. So, please critique this design for me front and back. Branding, text font, art, or the design itself. Good or bad, I need some unbiased constructive criticism. If you like it say so, if it sucks say so, I need some opinions. Thanks, JB

I need to share this with you guys. I will write more on it later or make a video but I just want to talk to you while I'm in this. I'm processing the loss of my coach Duke Roufus. He was a great man, a legend. He taught me about fighting and life. We talked for hours on end. He could talk, and he had so much energy. Tonight I was in a rare emotional fight with my ex wife over text about the kids and it got ugly. During this i got the news. I broke down in tears. I had to keep it moving, get the kids home, and go to the skating rink where Lindsey was waiting on me to see Elliot skate. I went in, still emotional getting texts and calls. I stepped outside to take a call from a friend that also new Duke, and Lindsey calls me. A kid slapped Elliot, and somehow as I go in I miss her. She went out behind the kid to find the parent. She calls me frantic, the kids dad is in her face bowing up. With all the emotions, this guy was in a bad spot. I go outside and as I approach this man, he realizes that he is in big trouble. He completely submits and calls me sir as she yells "tell him what you were saying 30 seconds ago". I'll be honest, I was waiting for him to mess up. His smart ass kid was running his mouth. I felt the guy needed a lesson so I didn't just let him ride away, I told him what I thought. Thank god this man coward. Thank you god for giving me the strength and giving that man at least the sense to be quiet at that moment. I'm not sure I did the exact right thing, but I'm happy it did not escalate. It was the perfect storm for me to be dragged into the middle of the mess and end up in jail , sued or worse. We lost a good man today. Way too soon. He was only 55. I'm not sure I've ever experienced this range of emotions in such a short period of time. I'm just grateful that we get to live and love fully and that god gave me the strength to be a man tonight. I'll be making another tribute post about coach asap and I want to do something to honor him. Thanks for listening. Hope you get something from my experience tonight.

Went to work from 2-6, soon as I got off shot straight to the gym and had a killer session. Tonight was my first deadlift session in ages, my highest I ever maxed out at was 435 during my senior year of powerlifting, so I’ll be working my way back up to that, the goal is to hit 500lbs. Other than that, life has been good, great vibes, positive attitude and attacking my goals, can’t get no better than that, god bless y'all.
