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.”
Morning affirmation 2/18/2026
Today I humble myself so I can be strengthened. I release pride, distraction, and comfort. I choose discipline, obedience, and purpose. My body will work, but my spirit will lead. Every rep, every step, every decision is an offering — not for attention, but for growth. I remember I am temporary, but what I build in character is eternal. I will move with patience, speak with intention, and act with conviction. God, shape my heart as I train my body. Make me stronger where it matters most. Today I deny comfort and pursue calling.

Morning journal 2/18/26
Keep working and pressing toward your goals… no matter what others think. Belief from others is nice — but it’s not required. The work still counts when nobody claps. The reps still matter when nobody notices. The direction is still right even when nobody understands it yet. There’s a different kind of strength built in quiet seasons — when you move without validation, when discipline replaces motivation, when you choose purpose over comfort. Success hits different when few people believe in you… because you learn how to believe in yourself first. Today I stay consistent. Today I stay focused. Today I earn ground nobody can see yet. I don’t need approval — I need progress.

Training for Speed — Charlie Francis
Chapter 4 Summary: The High–Low System (CNS Management) This chapter is the backbone of the entire Francis system. The idea: speed training is limited by the nervous system, not the muscles. So programming must manage neural fatigue — not just soreness. The Big Principle The body doesn’t get tired first — the nervous system does. High-intensity work (sprinting, max jumps, heavy lifting) stresses the central nervous system (CNS). Low-intensity work (tempo, mobility, circuits) stresses the metabolic system. If you mix them randomly → performance drops, injuries rise, speed plateaus. So Francis organized training into: HIGH DAYS = Stress LOW DAYS = Recovery High Days (Speed Days) Goal: Maximum neural output Includes: - Max velocity sprinting - Acceleration - Plyometrics - Heavy lifting - Explosive med balls Rules - Full recovery between reps - Low total volume - Perfect quality - Stop before fatigue 👉 You train FAST, not tired. Low Days (Tempo / Restoration) Goal: Restore nervous system while improving capacity Includes: - Tempo runs (extensive) - Mobility circuits - Core work - Bodyweight circuits - Light med balls Rules - Never becomes conditioning punishment - You leave feeling better than you started 👉 You train BLOOD FLOW, not intensity. Why Alternating Works High intensity needs 48 hours CNS recovery. Instead of resting completely, you: - Recover actively - Increase work capacity - Improve tissue healing So the weekly structure becomes: Mon – High Tue – Low Wed – High Thu – Low Fri – High Sat – Low / Off The Coaching Insight Most programs fail because they train medium every day. Medium intensity = - Too hard to recover - Too easy to adapt Francis eliminated the middle. Hard days hard. Easy days easy. Performance Effects Athletes get: - Faster - Healthier hamstrings - Consistent speed outputs - Fewer soft tissue injuries - Stable nervous system Key Quote Idea You don’t condition speed athletes into shape.

Morning Affirmation
Today, I am the architect of my life. I choose thoughts that build me, habits that strengthen me, and actions that move me forward. I don’t need perfection, only presence and progress. Every small step I take shapes a future I’m proud to live in. I am growing, I am capable, and I am becoming.
