‘Man Up’ has seen it’s day
Masculinity may mean different things to different people and it can be confusing in today’s life as to what and how masculine Men should be !
You may see a lot of posts, about being the ‘Alpha Male’ ‘ How to Man Up’ ‘ How to be in touch with your more feminine side’ and all the others in between.
At Glasgow Man Club we aim to help you become more masculine- but what do we see that as ?
Clue – It isn’t the big guy in the pub mouthing off, or who’s solution to most things is – take you outside
We base a lot of what we do around these simple additions to your life, which should help and its something we at GMC show you how to do better.
1. EXERCISE
– Men should exercise, do manual work, lift stuff, move things, be in good physical shape, men aren’t meant to have boobs and beer bellys.
If you don’t have a manual job, this is even more important that your exercise regime involves something that needs aggression (controlled aggression) I’m not talking about getting into fights all the time or being a dick. Controlled aggression – workouts that you have to dig a bit deeper to get through
Examples would be some kind of combat sport – boxing, BJJ, MMA – none of which we do at GMC cause we’re not those type of coaches and a lot of men aren’t interested in hitting someone (or being hit).
So how do we get that aggression out ? By mixing lifting and moving heavy weights, Strongman style exercises and high intensity sessions. Forcing you to dig deeper find that inner drive to help you finish, help you progress.
Training like this also has the side effect of burning body fat, getting you in a lean, chiselled, muscular body shape.
This only works if you eat like a Man too. Tracking your food, especially getting enough protein and working within a calorie target, probably higher than you think (carbs and fats will also be tracked)
An increase in confidence, again not in an arsey way, not one of these guys that’s all mouth and nothing to back it up, You’ll become a Man confident in his abilities, confident enough that you don’t need to shout about it.
2. COMPETITON
Men need a bit of competition, doesn’t matter whether you win all the time or not, good competition should make you better. Competing with men who are an equal to, better than or even a wee bit behind can be enough to make you bring your best.
Try to keep up or catch the guy ahead of you, stay with the guy next to you or don’t let the guy behind you catch up.
By working within a team, you will always have that element of competition. We create sessions so you are working in pairs, threes or all together.
3. LEADERSHIP
Firstly by being your own leader – taking charge of your life. Becoming the Man you want the world to see you as.
Whether that’s your partner, your kids, your mates, your work colleagues.
You know what kind of man you want to be, most cases the person holding you back the most is YOU !
You can be a leader and also a follower, who do you most admire or seek a similar life to – physique wise, their achievements, relationship goals, business – whatever. Find out how they got there, learn from the ones who have ether done it or can show you how to do it (Usain Bolt’s coach can’t sprint 100m in under 10 seconds, but he showed him how to)
4. MEDITATION
