Lift Heavy Things is for men who refuse to let getting older become an excuse for doing less. The idea behind LHT is pretty simple. Use it or lose it. Strength, fitness, mobility — if you stop asking your body to do hard things, don't be surprised when eventually it can't. I'm 40, and I hear people my age talking about how old they're getting and all the things they can't do anymore. I don't buy it. I want to see just how strong, fit and capable we can stay as we get older. We're not training to stare at ourselves in a mirror. We're training so our bodies never become the reason we have to say “I can't.” That means getting strong. Staying mobile. Having an engine. Lifting heavy things. Moving your own bodyweight. Running, riding, rowing, climbing, carrying and continuing to do hard shit. Health is wealth. Motion is lotion. Use it or lose it. And most importantly: Don't stop doing hard things.

My 300 is shouldering a 300lb sandbag 15 times on each side one part of my larger Philosophy of "Becoming Dangerous" Becoming Dangerous isn't about being violent or looking intimidating. It's about developing the strength, capability and courage to be formidable when life demands it, while having the discipline and character to keep that power under control. The hero has to be capable of being the monster. A good man isn't a harmless man. Being incapable of doing harm also means you are incapable of stopping it. This challenge only focuses on one of the four elements to this philosophy which is becoming absurdly strong. I live in Perth, Australia. The biggest thing that will stop me from getting there would be just myself and not doing the work and being consistent.
