    Feb 20 2025

    ➢Apply for 1 on 1 coaching: https://colossusfitness.com/

    In this video we go over 7 horrible habits that are secretly ruining your life.

    These are things that you likely won't notice day to day, but can make a huge difference on your journey long term.

    Time stamps:

    1 (00:35) - Immediately checking social media when you wake up

    • this causes anxiety and interrupts your natural wake-up
    • don't go in your phone for at least an hour after

    2 (01:46) - Using TV/videos as background noise constantly

    • this trains your brain to require dopamine at all times
    • normalise silent times to let your brain relax and unwind

    3 (04:24) - Saying yes to things to people please

    • this is sapping all of your mental energy
    • normalise saying 'no' to things that you don't want to do

    4 (05:15) - Living in "someday" mode rather than taking action

    • procrastination is killing your potential
    • build the habit of starting things right away

    5 (07:16) - Only spending time with those that leave you feeling comfortable

    6 (09:21) - Mindlessly scrolling in bed

    • this will mess up your sleep because of the blue light
    • make your bed a 'phone free zone', read instead

    7 (10:26) - Avoiding trying out of fear of failure

    • don't be afraid to fail- instead, actively seek it out
    • every failure means that you're closer to success

    Jan 30 2025

    Summary of episode: In today’s episode we are going to share the most dangerous exercises in the gym. We also share whether you should avoid them or try alternate solutions to make sure you stay injury free.

    Listed points:

    1. (00:20) Upright rows
    2. (02:26) Suicide grip bench press
    3. (04:27) Deadlifts
    4. (07:00) Skullcrushers
    5. (09:58) Behind the head lat pulldown
    • General rule of thumb any behind the head movement not usually worth it/ behind the head shoulder press

    Any overuse of momentum
