Ritual Podcast

Episode 103: We’re talking about squat PR’s, the right way to say caramel, and getting buried alive. . In the midst of all that, we discuss the differences between striving to have a positive mindset on a daily basis and continuously working to what find what works best for you personally, vs the fake positivity and ‘one-size-fits-all’ life advice that is rampant on social media these days. We talk about the fact that we’re all individuals who have unique life experiences, and the importance of not passing judgement on other people just because their experiences are different from our own. . No YouTube this week due to some technical difficulties. . #SBTR

This week we have Daniel Tinajero hanging out and talking lifting on the podcast. . Since I moved to Florida, Daniel has become one of my favorite people to learn from. He’s a 20 year veteran of the sport, boasts a personal best total of 2502 in multiply gear, and he is hands down one of the most compassionate coaches I’ve ever known. He is brimming with knowledge and experience in the sport of powerlifting and we touch on everything you can imagine. Daniel is a rare kind of guest for us because, simply put, there are just not that many people like him. His experience as a lifter alone makes this a valuable episode for you guys. This is one you don’t want to miss. . Ritualapparel.co . #SBTR            

Video killed the radio star (GET IT??) This week is our first video podcast, so feel free to watch on YouTube and enjoy what is probably the most attractive podcast on the internet. This week we talk about what’s been going on in our life: Tim and Molli’s recent run in with an unruly Florida Man, Diet Coke and how much ice is the right amount of ice, how our current training is going, and how unnecessarily mean Tim is. We also touch on the recent Ritual Restock, and how much you guys continually blow us away with your diehard support for Ritual, both the apparel and the message that makes us who we are as a brand. All of you who fuck with Ritual have helped us create such an amazing community of strong people, and we can’t ever thank you enough.

This week we are not only excited to have Tricia King on the podcast but we are also excited to announce that we are welcoming Tricia as the newest edition to the Ritual Athlete team! . Tricia is not only an elite powerlifter with an 1102 total she is also, a mother, a coach, a cancer survivor and many other things. Talking to Tricia reminds me that human beings are incredible. She’s been through a lot, she’s lived a lot, and she still continues to fight for what she wants, take risks, and grow as an individual. We talk tattoos, lifting, weight loss, parenting, her experiences with cancer and many other things. Tricia is a great ambassador for personal growth and resilience you absolutely will get value out of this podcast. Her personality shines throughout this episode and she is just as fun to listen to as she is easy to talk to. . #SBTR

This week we are talking about Regression To The Mean. This is a phenomenon that accrues in a wide array of research that states that if a sample point of a variable is extreme, then a future point will be closer to the mean or average. How does this apply to our lives? Our experiences can be applied to this phenomenon in the same way. If we have an extreme experience wether that experience be bad or good, the likelihood is that future experiences will be closer to average. So when we acknowledge the temporary nature of extreme situations in our lives, we are able to also acknowledge that things will eventually go back to normal. Given this information, and the pursuit of bettering ourselves, our option is to learn from the extreme to improve on our average. If we can improve on the mean, and improve on our ability to deal with the temporary extreme we CAN live better.

Big changes this week on the podcast! In Episode 98 we are discussing the importance of self reliance. We get into development, application, and the benefits of being your most reliable resource. We also talk about the importance of people and the pitfalls of the “lone wolf” mentality. Often we rely on the security provided by situations that are not making us happy. If we can learn to value and bet on our own ability to create solutions for ourselves, we will be far more likely to live independently and happily. #SBTR

Everyone has something to offer. We all have a skill or talent or gift that we can share with the world to make it and the people around us better. Sometimes that thing finds us quickly and sometimes it takes a while to manifest. . In Episode 93, we dive into this topic and how too many of us feel rushed to figure out what that gift is. There’s no timeline on finding a passion or developing a skill. . Once you can learn to silence out everyone else’s journey and focus on living your truest and best life, you will find your calling.

Ian is one of the most intelligent people I’ve had the pleasure to sit down and talk with as he is a multifaceted coach, well-rounded athlete, and an elite level powerlifter.

Today we dive into a topic we’ve talked about, put on t shirts, and been an underlying theme on many episodes: Time. . It’s a topic thats hard to understand in a world where we get gratification so quickly and so easily. Time is our friend, the more time we put into the development of a skill the better we get at it. It seems simple but if its so simple then why do we expect ourselves to be great at the starting line?

This week we welcome @dbell_74, who currently holds the all-time world record total for both the raw and classic raw divisions. Not only has he achieved the highest total in history, he is genuinely one of the nicest people I have ever met. .

@rileypresnell and @tim_ritual delve deep into something that’s been frequently discussed on this podcast: authenticity. So many of us get caught up in meeting people’s expectations, bending to our friends, and living a life we don’t truly love. We do and say things “for the gram” and we dilute ourselves with spoonfuls of synthetic filler. Our best is who we truly are. This is the place we can grow from, reach out and find like minded people in our community, and become better versions of ourselves.

We break down how your mindset in relation to food is hindering your long term goals and some new perspective on how you look at the fuel your body needs. As well, we touch on how everything you do at your current age will help dictate your future in terms of financial independence. #SBTR

Instant gratification is killing your long term potential. #SBTR

You haven’t earned it yet. . The top 10% of people in anything are easy to look at as oddities. They are. People who defy the norm will always be celebrated and propped up because their achievements fall outside the margins of possibility for most common people. . Why? . In some cases genetics undeniably play a factor. However, even with that factor most of these people posses an unmeasurable capacity for work and focus. We tend to disregard this when looking at their accomplishments in awe or we look at this capacity as innately inhuman which some are born with and some are not. The problem is: work isn’t genetic. Its universal. . You’d be hard pressed to find a successful person without their own set of challenges and unique reasons why. We just tend to make mountains of our indifference. Our best weapon is seeing who we are objectively. Knowing how to take off our rose colored glasses when looking at ourselves is extremely powerful. What time isn’t being allocated to our goals? What habit is prohibitive an

This is what we are all aiming for. No matter the scenario. we remain the best version of ourselves.  Mindset determines the weight of negative or positive influences. In Episode 84 we get into this topic, talk about palm trees, and have many laughs.  Check it out on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and Ritualapparel.co #SBTR
