Most of you will have seen the frustration over the last couple of months. I have been working behind the scenes the whole time, trying to adapt to every change Skool has made to the platform. That goal has now been dropped, because I have had enough of playing the Skool game for zero return. So from December the sole focus is content, which means classroom information and videos. Fact is, that is what you joined for and I am grateful to @Richard Clark who pointed out what was and is still lacking.😁 I am posting this now so nobody gets caught out, and so you have time to decide what you want to do. On December 2nd, which happens to be my 36th birthday (I'm sure you can work it out) , the way whwido /we-do/ works changes for good. The aim is to clean up the space regardless of member total, protect what we have built, and look after the people who actually show up and take part. Right now there are two kinds of inactive member in here, and both are affected. Group 1: the lurkers You log into Skool, but you never post, never ask a question and never speak in the chat. Some of you just prefer to watch in silence, and up to a point that is fine. The trouble is that a health and performance room only works when people share information, form checks, meals, app logs, questions and progress. There is a darker side too. Some silent accounts have joined purely to scrape routines, lift content and quietly message members behind the scenes. That ends now, so we are keeping real contributors only. Group 2: the ghosts You joined the free section to potentially fix your training, sort your nutrition, rebuild joints, build muscle, or get straight answers on supplements, peptides and medication. Then Skool was new to you and you simply stopped logging in. You have not posted, commented or sent a chat message since this announcement. If you don't start showing up, you'll be removed with everyone else who went quiet. Take this as the nudge to get back on track and back in the room.

The app just got a big update, and it now includes a full guide for members. The guide is attached to this post as a PDF, so download it and keep it on your phone for the gym. It walks you through the app in the order you'll use it, from signing up and adding it to your home screen through Phase 1 (still hidden- there's a reason 🫣), Phase 2, and Phase 3, with a screenshot of each screen. If you read only one part, make it section 15, Quick-start, your first day in one page. So what's new in the app itself? Ready-made workouts, for a start. Tap "Browse Templates" in the Workouts tab, and you'll find Push, Pull, Legs, Upper, Lower, and Full Body, and you can pick dumbbell, cable, machine, or barbell for each exercise. Plus Front/Upper/Back/Lower and Back/Upper/Front/Lower to help split the glycogen demand for Legs. On top of that, there's a Measurements log in Progress, under Measurements. Once you save your height, the app calculates your waist-to-height and belly button-to-height ratios for every entry. That matters because rep PRs (personal records) on their own can miss growth, so the tape is your second check. You can now reset a forgotten password straight from the log-in screen. The layout is cleaner too, with the tabs as coloured icons in two rows on your phone. If your app looks out of date, open Settings, tap "Check for updates", then "Update now". Any questions or bugs? Comment below. 😁

Welcome in. whwido /we-do/ is a science & experience-based strength method with one rule: You feel the muscle you're training — joints aligned, perfect form. The name means Why, How, What, I Do — and the whole aim is to make it what you do: running your own training for life, without needing me. Free: you can look around, meet the members, read The Method in the Classroom, and ask me anything in Ask Shaun. I answer every question there, the same day or within one day where possible. Paid members get the how: The full multi-phase programme, from your first session to training on your own. The app, which sets your load from what you actually did, session by session, so you stop stalling. The demonstrations, lift by lift — going up now, the first ones later this month. Building a Library of Giants — adding real sources, credited to the people who did the work, not me pretending to know everything. Paid places will be capped at 150 or even less, so I can keep that promise. This is not a money-making venture for me. So the price rises as they fill, and whatever you join at, you keep for life: Paid places 1 to 30 — $40 a year Paid places 31 to 50 — $60 a year Paid places 51 to 80 — $80 a year Paid places 81 plus — $99 a year Already paying? Thank you. Your current rate is locked, and nothing here changes it. So I can actually help you, please answer these three below: 1. Your situation and goal — beginner, plateaued, or training around a condition? 2. What's stopped you from getting stronger before? 3. The one thing you're most unsure will work for you? 4. Drop them in a comment and say hello — tell us who you are and what you're training for.
