Do You Ever Feel Like Wussy? (For The Guys)

Do You Ever Feel Like Wussy? (For The Guys)

A shirtless man with glasses is flexing his muscles.

Philippians 4:13 is my favorite passage. It says "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." 


This verse fires me up! I recite it before BIG lifts and challenging situations because it gives me confidence and makes me feel STRONG.


Sometimes I feel bulletproof but other times I feel like a complete wussy.


One of those times was earlier this year.


It seemed to start with a big financial setback, then tweaking my knee in Florida, followed by a lousy month of business to make it a trifecta of crap.


I was feeling like a complete wussy who couldn't do anything.


I told myself stories that I was broke, old and worthless.


These were just stories. Not the truth.  But I listened to them for awhile until I pulled my head out of my butt.


Yes, my workouts were hindered and I felt like an old man. But I knew how to restore my body from 27 years of working with the human body.


Yes, my business and finances had setbacks. But I had experienced these before and overcome them before.


I admit it - I was down and felt weak. It seemed like everything I was doing was failing.


Ever been there?


My pity party was short lived because thankfully I have people in my life who will not allow me to camp out there.


I have tools that get my MIND, BODY, and SPIRIT right when they get off course - just like using tools to fix things in my house when they break. 


There's mental and spiritual tools to get my motivation and focus back as well as squash my negative thinking.


And there's physical tools to rehab my body which allowed me to hit some of my BIG goals for the year.


I have not shared these tools enough so I've decided to put together my biggest online coaching and training program yet.


I designed it especially for men like me.


Why just men?


Well one, I'm a man and I understand the struggles of middle aged guys like me.


And because I am seeing more and more guys like me who are in trouble and seem to be getting their butt kicked by life.


It doesn't have to be that way!


I have been blessed to have great mentors and coaches teach me effective things to move from victim to victor.


This program is called MAN UP and features my BEST stuff to develop your MIND, BODY, and SPIRIT. 


I'm opening it up for a beta test group starting next week. 


So I'm looking for 10 men to go through a 12 week test run of this program at 50% of the cost.


Here are the requirements:


  • Men 35 years or older - preferably a dad
  • Willing to work out a minimum of 3x/week
  • Being coachable and willing to follow a plan without doing your own "modifications"
  • Able to commit at least 30 minutes each day to work on components of this program


If you cannot do these things do not apply. But if you are willing to commit to all of these things, reply to this email to apply to be one of the 10 beta testers. I will set up a call with you so please leave me a phone number where you can be reached.


I'm excited to kick this thing off and look forward to help at least 50 guys find their inner warrior and ditch their inner wuss for good!


Dedicated to helping you live your BEST life,


Erik Peacock

A group of people are running a marathon on a city street.
By Puravida Fitness October 30, 2024
Yesterday was the 40th running of the Twin Cities Marathon - The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America! If you are like me, you stop everything to take it all in. Marathon Day is one of my favorite days of the year! A happy place! So much goodness packed into one perfect fall day! And yesterday was no exception! 34 years ago my friend and I were curious. What is the marathon anyway? It was hard to visualize people running 26.2 miles from the Metrodome in Minneapolis to the Capitol in St. Paul. So without the assistance of Google maps, runner tracking apps or cell phones, we headed to St. Paul to "find the marathon." We rolled down our windows, drove up the Snelling Avenue hill and listened for people cheering. Sure enough we found it!

This is a sign that hung in my college football weight room. It meant a lot to me. It's what motivated me to put in extra work and ultimately become a scholarship athlete and starting offensive guard on the football team. It wasn't always like that though. My life could have been drastically different - and not for the better.
