THE REASON FOR GRIT LIFT

GRIT LIFT was created by me, Daniel Corbett - NASM CPT, Precision Nutrition PN1 Coach, 7 year bodybuilder, and current student physical therapist assistant. I made GRIT LIFT to give everyone access to what I thoroughly believe are some of the best evidence-based lifting and nutrition protocols out there. As bodybuilders, gym-goers, or aspiring to be either, we all know that we must work hard. This we know for sure. Past that, the average joe bodybuilder, or dare I say many top bodybuilder's workouts, recovery methods, and nutrition methods, are based on gym tradition. Gym tradition, as I will define it now, is a technique, tip, or trick that has been used by bodybuilders or gym-goers that becomes common knowledge and is then passed down to the next generation.

Not all of these gym traditions are bad, but many are. Many gym-goers and bodybuilders base their workouts on anecdotal evidence and gym tradition, but not scientific evidence applied to lifting. Additionally, there are gym traditions that don't have a lot of scientific evidence that seem, for now, to be beneficial. That being said, I personally believe it is my job as a personal trainer, coach, lover of bodybuilding, and educated individual to do my best to combine the most current evidence-based lifting protocols and the best beneficial gym traditions, to optimize results. I do this because I care. I care about being the best I can be, and I care that the hard work we put in day in and day out produces the best possible results it can. We deserve no less. GRIT LIFT is about knowing we need to work hard, and knowing that working hard in the gym is not enough. We must optimize and implement strategies that are proven to keep giving us lasting results. Or, at least I need to, and you can join me in reaping the benefits of it through GRIT LIFT, and keep on building lasting results as you and I continue to grow and learn.
