Instagram - @brquse  Goal 1 - 100 followers on IG. 9:16pm, February 19th, 2024, Bedroom, UT All-time PR on bench today. Hell. Yes. It feels so good to know my best has yet to come, when, for a while, I thought I had peaked. All the sudden, that original goal of the glorious 3 plates doesn’t seem too far out of the realm of possibility anymore. Interesting realization today when I saw my behavior t...

Instagram - @brquse  Goal 1 - 100 followers on IG. 10:53am, February 18th, 2024, Outdoor Workout, UT Self discovery – It is impossible to read with the intent to learn and develop if I do it too close to bed. It is a WAR trying to keep my eyes open to read those pages. I had to, again, take 2 power naps mid-reading session. How silly is that? But, again, we got it done and we keep the momentum bui...

Instagram - @brquse  Goal 1 - 100 followers on IG. ?:??pm, February 17th, 2024, Outdoor Workout, UT I am actually so bummed at the thought that in the near future, my ice bath days may come to a temporary pause. Option 1 - Get an apartment that is $1200/mo with no space or ability or allowance for an ice bath freezer. Option 2 - Get an apartment/townhome that is $1800-2200 with space for an ice ba...

Instagram - @brquse  Goal 1 - 100 followers on IG. 10:42pm February 16th, 2024, Bedroom, UT Day 19 of Phase 2 of Live Hard. What a tough one. These types of days really put me to the test. It’s hard sometimes to want to get the shit done you know needs to get done. It’s mentally taxing and it adds up really quickly if you don’t manage it well. There’s only so much you can do. But like I've said in...

Instagram - @brquse  Goal 1 - 100 followers on IG. 2:47pm & 8:??pm, February 15th, 2024, Work & Outdoor Workout, UT Great guy. Very helpful. Odd way to do it. I need the ability to exercise creativity in the workplace and to experiment with new ways of doing things. Regardless if I fail, mess up, or find out that the way it’s been done is in fact the best way. Curiosity killed the cat but...

Instagram - @brquse // Let’s get the social media ball rolling a bit. Goal 1 - 100 followers on IG. ?:??pm, February 14th, 2024, Outdoor Workout, UT Not doing something with the excuse being “I’m too busy” means that in order for you to do the thing, you need to be in a phase of life where you are not busy. Chances are, life is going to happen to you every week. You’re always going to have somethi...

2:48pm, February 14th, 2024, Clinton, UT, Car To someone who doesn’t have any desire to improve in life in minuscule ways, this may sound obsessive and crazy.  “I missed the part where that’s my problem.” — Peter Parker  I have this form that I’ve made for myself to answer every night. For no other reason than to track my productivity, mood, behavior, efficiency, and find patterns. I want to see t...

7:12pm, February 13th, 2024, West Haven, UT, Outdoor Workout  A day full of stress: good or bad? It depends on the light that it is viewed in. I’m gonna keep this one short and sweet. There was a lot of problems today. There were many situations where I was extremely irritable and annoyed. There were many moments where I would’ve quit in the past. I had a mountain of inconveniences (in the context...

?:??pm, February 12th, 2024, West Haven, UT, Outdoor Workout  Came across a video on social where a dude is breaking a thick layer of ice with a sledgehammer. It’s his outdoor ice bath, and it happens to be 33°.  My first impression was “that’s so bad ass. This guy is a legend. This is real ass discipline.”  Let’s be real here. If you take away every benefits from the ice bath, every single one, y...

115. 5:01pm, February 11th, 2024, West Haven, UT, Outdoor Workout Mid superbowl, we gettin’ it done. Flexing hard for the haters on one (just kidding, I do not care). Go patriots. I read last night; it was the very last task for my day. It was brutal. I was so exhausted that reading a mere 10 pages became the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It took every ounce of my soul to not fall asleep while rea...

5:55pm, February 10th, 2024, West Haven, UT, Grass Field I have had this feeling of “falling off the train” ever since Ep. 106. I feel like I am not as disciplined as I once was. As I talk about in this episode, I think it is actually due to the fact that I’ve been doing this for half a year now very consistently. It is molding into an entirely new lifestyle for me. I draw comparisons back to Colo...

?:??pm, February 9th, 2024, Clinton, UT I struggle personally with trying to deviate from a set schedule of tasks that need to get done. I need to clean my ice bath out, and that’s no short task given the circumstances I have. I also would like to sit down and revisit my goals, my why, and what I’m doing. I’d like to get back in line with those. I tend to overcomplicate things in my head. Somethin...

7:47pm, February 8th, 2024, West Haven, UT, Church Parking Lot, Outdoor Workout After that first podcast earlier today, it got me thinking about something else. Despite being back with friends and family here in UT (after moving around for 3 years), I still feel lonely in regards to the path I’m on. I would love to find like-minded individuals, but they are so rare in the realm of personal develop...

7:10pm, February 8th, 2024 (Kobe & Gigi Day 02/08/24), West Haven, UT, Church Parking Lot, Outdoor Workout Well, looks like business won’t be happening for a lot longer than anticipated. There are many options I have, and it truly boils down to how much patience I am willing to exert in this chapter of my life. The more I openly talked about the issue the more clarity it brought to me. It brou...

4:07pm, February 7th, 2024, Gym Parking Lot, UT, Car This is a piggyback off of episode 106. My baseline tasks in my life – that I do every day – are to hit my caloric intake requirements and 225g+ protein, drink 1 gallon of plain water, exercise, read 10 pages of a self development book, no alcohol or cheats, take an ice bath, and record a podcast. While on Live Hard you can throw in an additiona...

7:20pm, February 6th, 2024, West Haven, UT, Neighborhood, Outdoor Ruck I’m so sick of dogs not being on their leash, man. I love dogs. I’m a dog person. I want a big dog. But holy shit dude. It’s pitch black outside, it’s raining, and bam a black dog appears from the shadows. This might be the 15th time in the last 6 months. It’s ridiculous. Anyway, here’s some growth. I don’t care about the lack...

9:23pm, February 5th, 2024, West Haven, UT, In Bed Day 8 in the books. Almost forgot to record a show, but got it done anyway whilst laying in bed, moments away from sleeping.  I’m getting my own place once again here in the next 4-5 months and I am stoked about that. Big moves in my life and I couldn’t be more thankful.  Discipline is simply about getting what needs to get done every day. Poorly...

7:27pm, February 4th, 2024, West Haven, UT, Desk The new podcast is on its way. The real, professional, value packed, sit down, high quality one. Before embarking on this much more professional journey, I dedicated about 30-40 minutes to brainstorming a name for the show based on the information I’ll be talking about.  Spoiler alert, we came up with  - Your New Norm - The Pursuit of Personal Excel...

10:10pm, February 3rd, 2024, West Haven, UT, Bedroom I started listening to the shows I record now to critique myself and get better. I have not listened to any episodes of this show below 105. So, hearing 105 to this one has opened my eyes a bit to the things I’d like to improve on.  Phase 2 Day 6 is complete, which means tomorrow will be the end of the first week. It’s been a smooth run so far a...

6:19pm, February 2nd, 2024, Hill AFB, UT, Car Yes, this is episode 106 and a half. I have so many thoughts I want to capture. Going Off 106; I am doing my thing. I am spending my day how I want. I am doing so while also being proactive toward my goals. I’m doing a lot of what my younger self always wanted. Which was to have freedom of choice to do as I wished. Go play ball, hit the gym, go read, g...

4:25pm, February 2nd, 2024, West Haven, UT, Bedroom I feel lazy when I do the bare minimum of my tasks now. And as a result, it affects my mental game. I have to remind myself where I was at just 6 short months ago. It is no exaggeration when I say I would go to work, come home, and sit in my room all day and play RuneScape, COD, and Minecraft. I didn’t socialize, work on myself, or hit the gym mo...

4:11PM, February 1st, 2024, Hill AFB, UT, Gym Parking Lot   In life, there will be thousands of moments where you are faced with a test of integrity. You can either choose to do the harder option or the easier option — whatever those may be. No one will know what the outcome of these decisions will be except you.    You will know, and you will always know.    For me, I want to know that I held the...

Nothing like a deep breath intro for 2 straight minutes from a grown ass man eh?  In this show, I record while in the cold plunge, catch a win LIVE on the show, and touch on current conditions with Phase 2. Today is day 3. So far so good.  Day 69 of taking a 39º ice bath for 5 minutes. Gunning for another 100 milestone!

Early mornings suck. I have never been a morning person. I have always been a night owl by default. but I have trained myself to be a morning person. There for a while I was waking at 1:45am to run a mile, take an ice bath, read, journal, stretch, pack a lunch, shower, prep for work, and leave by 4:30am to get to work by 5am.  That shit sucks. I'd rather not do it if I don't have to. I am looking...

In this episode, I talk about starting phase 2 of live hard, hurting my foot, creating a new intensity technique for my workouts, and having one of the best workouts I’ve had in quite some time due to proper intent and focus. I touch on a little bit of my diet, my workout, and the entire purpose and focus of phase 2 of live hard. I’m quickly realizing that getting an episode that documents the day...
