These rules are NOT for those competing. They are not for those who want to increase their “longevity” in the sport. They are not for the beginner, intermediate, or advanced lifters. There are different rules for all of these groups, and these are NOT them.

NEVERsate started off as a band name and became the name of Brian Alruhe's gym — but there's more to the name than that.

Washed Up Meathead Rule #1
Washed Up Meathead Rule #1
Up until a few years ago, the most time off training I can remember was no more than a week or two. It wasn't part of my belief system, and when I did take off two weeks, the joint pain got worse. In a way, it is like a race car slamming on the brakes.

Are you thankful? Or just boasting?
Are you thankful? Or just boasting?
The real gratitude we reflect upon doesn't come from others. It is not a gift that we are given. And it’s not some new way of thinking that we don't already know. In reality, it is inherent in every human being.
Express Gratitude This Thanksgiving
Express Gratitude This Thanksgiving
We all have things that we are grateful for. You won’t know it, though, because it isn’t posted on social media or the headline of the e-blast you are about to receive. Likely, it’s a culmination of little things that collectively bring happiness to our daily lives.
Blast & Dust
Blast & Dust
I don’t know you, but I do know that we all have our demons. We all have our pasts that we don’t want to deal with, and we have things that we’d rather forget. If we didn’t have these things, we wouldn’t be alive. What I’m questioning here is whether you’re alive or just living.
The Blame Game
The Blame Game
Stop blaming other people for your situation. Learn to be accountable and in charge of your actions, and for others if you are the one managing or leading them. ⁣
