- This clip is from the video vault in my Keep the Blaze Alive Coaching Squad (aka “The Squad”). The Squad has three levels of membership, and we meet weekly online with a 2-hour livestream where I answer questions and tell stories, and the Tier 1 members get two monthly two-hour Zoom calls where we talk face-to-face. I also host two 3-day events per year for my Tier 1 members. Learn more about The Squad at / coachingsquad

To have this not hidden behind a paywall is cool.
Appreciate it Pat
Zip it hippie!
As a physically broken man, this has given me hope to be able to stay in shape again. Thanks, brother, and God bless.
I thought I gave the Army the best of me…. Came out a bit broken. Got even more broken after the FACT but just takes some time and work arounds to get back at it. Muscle memory is insanely efficient. I’m in far better shape than I was before breaking my femur TWICE. I can’t run like I used to… who tf needed to run an 11 min two mile idk but I did so I can live with what I’ve got.
I've ruptured my quad tendon, I've got a couple of bad disks in my neck, and a couple of really bad disks in my lower back. The disks in my lower back had me thinking "if this is what my life is going to be like, I don't want to be alive".
I said f*ck that, I don't want to be broken anymore and I'm not going to make excuses. I wasd also addicted to several substances at the time. I learned to work around my challenges and, at 47, I am in the best shape of my life. My career is light years ahead of what it was and my mental health is such that I have the strength to pick other people up when they are struggling and raise 2 rebellious and stubborn teenage boys.
When I was 25, I was stronger and faster, but my diet was sh*t and I was drinking and using drugs and smoking. I have days where it's very hard to get out of bed or where I'm miserable all day. And sometimes those days turn into weeks. So I double down on my PT exercises and push through it because I don't want to be a quitter or a weakling.
If you've already decided you are a "physically broken man", then that's what you are. I don't know your personal situation and I would never judge you, because I've been there. But it can always be better.
Pat Mac could say the same thing. Lots of injuries and I guarantee he has plenty of days when he's hurting like hell. He's a certified badass, but he's a human, just like you and me. He could say "I'm a broken man" and then get busy dying. But he's convinced himself that isn't the right path and so can you.
Change your mindset to "I used to be a broken man, but I'm going to put in the work to change that" or just "I am a strong man who CAN overcome my challenges" and watch yourself grow into something that you never thought you could become.
@@hailtothe_rooster1572 gets it. Stop thinking in terms of "I've got to be the athlete I was 20 years ago" and think in terms of small, achievable goals like "I am going to the gym 2x a week and will walk my dog for 2 miles, 3x a week."
Start small and celebrate those little wins. Who cares what anyone else thinks or is doing or capable of. Prove to yourself that you can do it and f*ck the detractors or those who think you should do more.
To walk a mile, you've got to first take a single step. Then another. Then another. You don't just jump to the end in one stride.
Stay the path, you can do it, my childs mother died 5 years ago. I had many other issues that came from that very dark period. I quit drinking alcohol, focused on my diet, and then when weight startd to come off, I started training! Don't give up! The hardest part is getting started. Give thanks, try not to let the negative overwelm you man, also Stop watching the News!
@@runningdrew6654 agree, too add to that, sunlight and self love switching negative thoughts to posatives throughout the day for the mental. Tell yourself you love yourself
“Anything that you suck at” so humbling but so rewarding.
So many quote gems in this video. My favourite one has to be "Routine is the playground of a dull mind"
That’s just what people with ADD say.
Been drinking water every morning first thing for many years now. absolutely a gamechanger. I give this advice to most people if the topic comes up.
Hi Shane. How much water a4e you drinking in the morning? I’ve been trying this too and not sure if I’m drinking enough. Thanks brother.
Matt
@@supertrooper7403 I'll usually just drink about a pint glass worth so maybe 16 ounces, but then I drink 1-2 cups of coffee and then another glass of water with my vitamins before I leave the house. This is all in about 1.5 hours. I notice if I don't drink water and only the coffee I feel dizzy and weird.
I drink a full quart first thing after getting up. Big difference in how I start the day.
I’m impressed by this man’s stylistic blend of academic knowledge to tactical application. Thanks Pat for helping give our generation of warfighters a good name.
As a guy who is just starting to train after cardiac events, I seriously appreciate your simple approach to hydration, diet and work out. I'm 69 years old and I thank you.
Absolutely agree. Transverse plane is the most crucial. We exist within a dynamic & ever-changing environment, so learning to perform in multiple planes is important.
Would Brazilian jui jitsu and wrestling be considered transverse?
@@Cheesusrice69222 Absolutely. I've been training in mixed martial arts for 5 years & there is always a component of rotation through the hips. Wrestling could be considered more of a saggital practice but there's always a carry over with transverse movements.
Pat - these short videos on a specific topic have been really great. I appreciate the “here’s a broken down defined task that we are going to focus on today” type of video. 👍👍
Makes sense! In high school in the late 60’s we had top notch sports programs. In basketball practice, tougher than my basic military training, we got strong-quick-and fast and then we did everything left handed, backwards and with stress (yelling and loud noise).
Great to see you talking about this again. Really enjoyed the practical uses for the exercises. Keep up the awesome work man.
Passing on knowledge. Basic dude stuff.🤘🏻
Fantastic video! Please do some demonstration workouts!
Up vote this bad boy comment!
I fuckin' love Pat's enthusiasm!
I literally stopped and clipped his Arnold impersonation :). and then carried on.
Thanks for your guidance sir!
U are an inspiration to us other old troopers . Looking fit brother Pat. Thank u for the post , knowledge transfer, and motivation✌️☺️🇺🇸
“Old” was the wrong word…. I stand corrected……Vintage….
@@ToysRUsKid_Critter Like fine wine or whiskey, getting better with age.
Great Post brother.
Another great video! 👍🏿
That’s awesome dude stuff right there. Thanks Pat!
Pat has done consistently well blending knowledge and comedy 👏 🤣
Love the balance of the program! Thanks!!
The reason I started watching Mac was for the workouts. Love the driveway gym since thats where I do all of my workouts with similar equipment.
Food doesn’t come in a bag or a box… love it!
The best eleven and a half minutes on CZcams. Absolutely everything a person could need on the how, when and why of working out, eating and staying fit. Simple? Yes. Easy? Hell no! This will save tons of guys a gym membership they don't need. Buy Pat's book on the same subject; it's a gem too. 💪🏻🤘🏼
Not many folks realize the difference between "simple" and "easy"... I try to do some of this, but I find myself falling into the same routine after while.. Thanks for the reminder to change it up!!!
The possessed preacher of performance ☘️
The only time I ever heard the term 'combat chassis' before this video was in the first Terminator when Kyle Reese is describing the terminator to Sarah Connor.
I’m early to these videos and I like it. Binge a few of these while I drink coffee. Get an uncomfortable caffeine buzz and hit the gym.
the world is better because of you brother. thanks for all these free vids
Birds sound beautiful.
Some demonstration for people who do t have much at home would be awesome. Someday I'll be a patron to help repay what you've helped us with
I felt my pilot light click on, lets do this. Thanks Pat.
Routine is the playground of a dull mind…
This hit me like a ton of bricks. As usual Mac you are one point.
CST has completely changed the way I workout for the better. You're the man Pat - thanks for everything you do
Thank you sir, I need this at 55
I love how you said it’s simple but not easy, so true
Love the hummingbird in the upper left hand corner.
Several of us used Twights Gym Jones method when we were in the Navy. At the time It was very difficult to find information about the system, workouts etc online but emails and questions were always answered. It was more focused than Old school CrossFit and between the two it helped a group of us excel in our chosen paths. I am enjoying the Mac CST these days.
No BS - Good stuff. The other thing is staying motivated, setting goals within goals.
Better than motivation is discipline.
@@spacemanspliff7844 discipline gets you to the starting line- motivation gets you across the finish line
Sweet! I’ve been looking forward to this.
Jesus he knows everything about everything!
“Changing things up”! YES. My sensei in Japan would tell us after a day of training, “ok, tomorrow we will focus on X weapon system, so bone up on that and prepare for X weapon day (e.g., sword, kusarigama, or short staff).” Then, when we got to the dojo, he’d say, “today it’s judo day!” TOTALLY FUCK with us, to keep us off guard and changing things up! Good job, Sensei, in keeping us on our toes, or actually off-balanced and ready for anything…..
Best straight Up No B.S. advice Ever!
Whoa!!! Totally blew my mind these fitness concepts.
BRO!
Solids again!!!
Throw it down like a man possessed!
Rgr that Wilco
Practicing things we're not good at... Awesome !!
Pat is such a legend, the birds chirp translate everything he says right when he speaks. They are silent when he is silent or writing.
I'm 47 pretty broke down lol this dude gives me motivation and scares the shit outta me 😂Greatly appreciate all the videos and information
Tango Mike, Mr. Mac. Greatly appreciated class.
Please and thank you. More of this Pat. Thanks for the information.
The diet advice is so spot on. I am weary of all the opinions of what and when to eat. My wife is always coming to me with some new diet or some new nutritionist that has all the answers and I always say the same thing. Eat things as direct from nature as you can, avoid processed anything and pay attention to your body because it will tell you what it does not like and what does not agree with it. I love coffee, but I know more than 2 cups in the morning is not good for me because my body tells me that it is not good for me. When eating naturally there's not a whole lot that can go wrong, but if you pay attention your body will let you know if you're eating too much of even a good thing.
Please demonstrate the whiteboard recommendations. Thank you for sharing the knowledge given to you as a warrior. Spec ops does have the best tools, knowledge, and information!
How can you not dig this dude!!
The most important issue with training is: 'resting'. Not resting leads to 'overtraining, burnout, illness and injury'.
This is the process I'm following to train for my judo black belt
Love these videos. I also like the way your equipment can be anything heavy lying around the house
Just found your videos these are great thank you!
The new Army Combat Fitness Test and your videos helped change my workouts entirely. I now have a day for kettlebell, heavy bag, power (slam balls/sand bags/sprints and others), push-pull day (pull ups, push ups, squat press, abs), shadow boxing/speed day and lastly vanilla weight lifting day. Been awesome- wish I started it 20 years ago. Thank you for the info you push out.
Great video I've been doing version of this for years
Thank you for the awesome advice 👍
Incredibly generous of you to post this. Thank you!
It is so refreshing to hear a guy talking sense when it comes to working out.
Thanks Pat Mac!
Dude I’m sittin here, watchin this with an ice pack on my shoulder.😂😂
Thanks for all the great info as usual PatMac!
Great show
Outstanding
This was awesome, thanks Mac!
Lovin it, keep it coming!
Thank You Sir!
This is the real stuff. Thanks Pat!
Amazing stuff, Pat. Such a likable guy putting out efficient knowledge. Thank you.
I have been looking for someone to finally breakdown this type of training and finally it’s happened!! Thank you!
Thanks Pat! Spot on!
Very cool, thanks.
Thanks Pat Mac
Let's get it !!! 🎯
PatMac would make the best gym instructor
Just what I needed. Really shifting to this outlook for fitness these days.
Good stuff!
Great video!
Thank you so much!
Great stuff Pat.
Awesome. Thank you for putting this video out.
Good stuff - Thanks. DOL
Thanks for the knowledge!!
Thank you Pat. Super motivating to get our and move!
Great info, thank you for posting! I've been using your IG posts as a kind of library of movements to keep things interesting. Don't have much in the way of equipment at the moment, but a lot can be done with a sandbag, sledgehammer/tire, and some bands. Good stuff, as always.
Keep the information coming Pat. Thanks!
Awesome to see you talking about CST again, keep going with it brother.
I appreciate all the info. I’ve been putting a lot of this to use the past few weeks and I have been enjoying it. You actually introduced me to how to use bands and it has really been a game changer. Thank you.
Thank you.
I love this!! thanks brother! 🤠
Pat Thank you for sharing your knowledge , experiences and educated opinions. Much appreciated.
Thank you for sharing this with us. It’s much appreciated
The best info I’ve ever seen. Concise and practical. I’m old and beat up. Multiple surgeries. Been struggling with hanging on to what I have let alone building up. Please expand on “plane of motion”. Thank you thank you
I would love to see a full weeks worth of a workout plan. Thanks for all that you’re doing for us.
An information packed episode. Great content here.
Awesome stuff!! Would love to see examples of routines for each one of the days!!
Thanks for the rundown. God Bless
Thank you so much for sharing. Cracking video, loads to think about and as inspirational as ever.
