Daru Strong Club — How to Navigate & Win Every Day
Welcome to the Daru Strong Club. This is your training ground for total human optimization—mind, body, and spirit. The goal is simple: build discipline, stack small wins, and grow with a community that holds you to a higher standard.
Inside, you’ll post daily, track progress, learn, and get direct coaching in live Q&As.
Below is your clear, step-by-step playbook. Save it. Use it. Live it.
Quick Orientation (what’s where)
  • Home / Community Feed: Daily posts, announcements, wins, and conversations.
  • Classroom / Courses: Programs, templates, and resources.
  • Calendar / Events: Live Q&A schedule and upcoming sessions.
  • Members: Connect, DM, and form accountability squads.
  • Search: Find posts, topics, or answers fast (use keywords like “ruck,” “nutrition,” “mindset”).
  • Notifications / DMs: Turn on notifications so you don’t miss live calls, replies, or tags.
Tip: Pin important posts (rules, starter guides, templates) and follow the “Announcements” category.
Daily Operating System (Mon–Sun)
Do these in order. They take 10–15 minutes and set the tone for your day.
1) Affirmations (post in Affirmations)
When: First thing in the morning—before life gets loud.
Why: Prime your nervous system, align intention with action.
How: Keep it short, specific, and identity-based.
Template:
  • I am ______ (identity you’re building)
  • Today I will ______ (one non-negotiable action)
  • I reject ______ (distraction or vice)Example:“I am a disciplined father and athlete. Today I will complete my training block and 20 minutes of mobility. I reject excuses.”
2) Public Journal (post in Public Journal)
When: Morning or midday.
Why: Transparency creates accountability; clarity beats motivation.
How: Three prompts—keep it real.
Template:
  • What I’m feeling / thinking: ______
  • What I’m focused on today: ______
  • Obstacle & plan: ______ → ______Example:“Feeling under-recovered. Focus: hydration + protein. Obstacle: late meetings → Plan: train at 6 pm, prep shake at 5:30.”
3) Book Club (post in Book Club)
When: Anytime (aim for 3–5 posts/week).
Why: Input shapes output. We read to sharpen the blade.
How: Share one idea and one application.
Template:
  • Book & page: ______
  • Key idea (1–2 lines): ______
  • How I’ll apply it today: ______Example:“Atomic Habits, p. 73 — Identity drives behavior. I’ll anchor my evening walk to finishing dinner.”
4) Today’s Training (post in Training Log / Today’s Training)
When: Before or after your session.
Why: Plan it, then do it. Or do it, then log it. Both reinforce consistency.
How: Post the plan + results.
Template:
  • Goal of session: ______ (e.g., aerobic base / max strength)
  • Warm-up: ______
  • Main Work: ______ (sets × reps / time / % / RPE)
  • Finishers / Conditioning: ______
  • Notes: RPE, sleep, HRV, anything relevantExample:“Goal: DE lower. WU: hip flow 8’. Main: SSB box squat 10×2 @55% + bands. Finisher: 6×20s bike sprints. Notes: RPE 7, slept 6.5h.”
5) Progress Board (post in Progress Board / Wins)
When: End of day (or weekly summary on Sundays).
Why: What gets measured gets managed. What gets shared gets done.
How: Post metrics + a quick win. Add a photo if relevant.
Template (daily):
  • Training completed: ✔/✘
  • Steps / Zone 2: ______
  • Protein / Water: ______ g / ______ oz
  • Scale / Waist / HRV (optional): ______ / ______ / ______
  • Win of the day: ______Template (Sunday recap):
  • Sessions done: __/7
  • Biggest improvement: ______
  • One focus next week: ______
6) Live Q&As (every
Saturday at 12:30 pm ET in Events/Calendar)
What to do:
  1. RSVP in the Events tab so it hits your calendar.
  2. Submit your question in the Q&A thread by Friday night (training, nutrition, mindset, business, leadership—all welcome).
  3. Show up live—cam on if possible. Ask follow-ups.
  4. Rewatch the replay (posted after the session) and implement one action within 24 hours.
Pro tip: Title your question clearly:
“[FIGHT PREP] How to progress alactic intervals with no running?”
“[NUTRITION] Travel week—protein + hydration protocol?”
Weekly Rhythm (zoom out)
  • Monday: Set your weekly target (1 performance, 1 life).
  • Tuesday–Friday: Execute the Daily Operating System above.
  • Saturday: Live Q&A (12:30 pm ET). Take notes and post your One Action.
  • Sunday: Post a Weekly Review in Progress Board (wins, lessons, one focus).
Weekly Review Template:
  • Top 3 wins: ______
  • 1 lesson learned: ______
  • 1 habit to double down on next week: ______
  • Obstacle I foresee → plan: ______ → ______
Posting Standards (so the community stays elite)
  • Be specific. “Trained” is vague; “SSB 10×2 @55% + bands” is useful.
  • Be respectful. Iron sharpens iron—no ego, no trolling.
  • Tag wisely. Use the right category: Affirmations, Public Journal, Book Club, Today’s Training, Progress Board, Q&A.
  • Help first. Answer others before you post your own ask.
  • Protect privacy. Share responsibly; blur sensitive data in screenshots.
Finding & Using Resources
  • Courses / Classroom: Follow the pinned “Start Here” module, then pick your current goal (fat loss, fight prep, hybrid performance, ruck training).
  • Templates: Grab the posted Affirmation, Training Log, Nutrition Log, and Weekly Review templates—copy/paste and customize.
  • Search: Before you post a question, search keywords. Many answers already exist with detailed protocols.
Accountability Squads (optional but powerful)
  • Join or start a small squad (3–5 people) in Members.
  • Agree on check-ins (Mon/Fri), minimum posting standards, and consequences (fun but firm).
Squad Check-in Template:
  • This week I commit to: ______
  • I need feedback on: ______
  • I will report back by: ______
Troubleshooting
  • Can’t find the live link? Go to Events/Calendar → Saturday → 12:30 pm ET and click the event.
  • Missed a call? Replays are posted in Events or a pinned Q&A Replays thread.
  • Too busy to post? Do a 1-minute micro-post: one affirmation, one action, one win. Consistency > perfection.
