One of them is how deeply soul stirring, and heart aching this disease is as it grips so many of us. I’ve realized that it’s our most profound test of grace, to watch our loved one, slip away. And despite how protective, caring and loving our hands are, there’s nothing we can do. Except keep them as happy as we can. For as long as we can. My journey with writer/director Greg Kwedar has already been life changing. A deepening bond through the experience of this disease, that will live far beyond this film. Thank you brother. And thank you to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and @Artists Equity for being there for Greg and I. Embracing our project, and embracing this subject with unconditional love and humanity. Shoulder to shoulder. May the sunspots guide us. We look forward to sharing this with all of you. FREE BYRD

Wins or losses. What’s more valuable? The wins are f*cking amazing and at the end of the day, we always play to win. But no one wins all the time, and my losses and failures have proven to be more valuable than any win. Failing to make it to the NFL, failing at pro wrestling (my rookie year), divorce, and how that affects trying to be a good father to a 5yr old little girl. The list goes one. When we win at something, everyone sees it. It’s joy and everyone celebrates - as WE SHOULD, because we worked hard for it. But the losses and failures are quiet, and where we learn the invaluable super power of ENDURANCE. Get knocked down. Get back up. Wipe some blood off your face, welcome that new chip on your shoulder and keep on keeping on. Thanks for the great questions. And cheers to the chip that never goes away 🥃😉

Hurts my heart, and sending my condolences, love, light and mana to the Satterley family. Despite pro wrestling being globally popular, it’s energy is still that of very unique subculture and breed of passionate performers who support each other because we all know the daily hardships and the nightly pressures of chasing squared circle dreams. Stay strong, Satterley family. And “thank you for the house”, Benjamin 🕊️

When art and grace meet discipline and beauty. USA Artistic Swimming 🏊 You know I love, appreciate and respect my bad ass women, and these incredible female Olympic athletes honored us by creating an original performance for our new cover, “We Know The Way” sung by @Dinah Jane & @Stan Walker from our new Moana inspired album, “Voices Across The Ocean” In person, these women perform their craft with such elegance, poise, and power and I loved that our young daughters got to see this level of discipline and greatness. THANK YOU ladies for being so cool to my family and for pulling my lil’ tornadoes 🌪️ into the pool with you guys at the end to swim with them 🙏🏾❤️ Next time I’ll get in the pool too, but I’ll need a custom Speedo that fits my big hips, so I’m not Muffin Top Rock 👀 😂 We love and appreciate you bad ass ladies!! And bring home the GOLD in 2028 🥇 DJ #LaurenHashian #tiananonosina #kaylafaamaligi @Disney Music

Um… whoa “Your Dad” climbs to #1 song on International Pop Chart! I’m absolutely floored by this incredible “pinch me” news — thank you. It’s so cool - and humbling - to see this original song, that @Iam Tongi and I I wrote together, about my three daughters, resonate with so many people across the oceans. I loved the creative writing, artistic + performance process (thank you @Teremana Tequila 🥃😜) and curiously inspired to create more music in the future. Til’ then, thank you so much for connecting with “Your Dad”, just as much as I do. #YourDad #1 #VoicesAcrossTheOcean

Motivation vs Discipline. Motivation is the loud noise - “LFG” “GRIND UP” “NO DAYS OFF” Discipline is the quiet voice - “you already know” Years ago I learned that quiet discipline over loud motivation was my anchor and it changed my life. Happy and productive FriYay! You already know ⚔️ ⚓️ 🤟🏾 ps - the quiet discipline voice will also tell you that carbs are your friend. You’re welcome 😜💪🏾

Here’s a final set of presses for my chest training. When hitting peak fatigue, I’ll do two rest pauses and as many half reps as I can at the end. CONTROL THE WEIGHT - ESPECIALLY at the end when you’re so f*cking fatigued and all you got left is your grit and guts 🤪 - that’s the time to really CONTROL YOUR FORM. At this point it’s all mental flow state through the pain - and that’s where the magic happens. On the other side of is your pain, is your greatness. Then we’ll cry together after the set 😭😂 🤜🏾🤛🏼 As I said in my other post, I took a full year to drop approximately 50lbs (to play my character in Benny Safdie’s Lizard Music”) going from 285lbs which was my weight for filming “The Smashing Machine” to my current weight of 234lbs. Wanted to take my time and cut the weight in a smart, wise way that didn’t involve anything extreme or any kind of crash cutting. Doing it this way created a great opportunity for me to become super acutely attuned to my body - mentally/spiritually and of course physically. It’s also given me a completely new perspective on the “mind muscle connection” that we as athletes are always chasing. Full sovereignty over my trials, errors and progress. That’s the way we want it. I’ll post more training/training philosophy vids as I’m able to. And can’t wait to expand this overall conversation with all you guys about training, health, nutrition, wellness, peak performance etc - when we launch @ProjectRock 10.0 🗡️ 🛡️

This is insane 🤯 🎶 📈 I wrote and performed “Your Dad” as my love letter to my three daughters - Simone, Jazzy & Tia. A record exec called me and I said “ahh you’re calling to tell me congrats on my song being #3. He said no, I’m calling to say congrats on your song becoming a “global top 10 hit”… that’s a better way to phrase it” Yup much better way to say it 🤣😎🎶 Every man wants a son, but every man NEEDS a daughter. I’m blessed beyond words to be my daughter’s dad and as I say in the song “a deeper love that I never knew, you took my heart and you pulled me through…” Amazing to see how this song has touched so many of you - because you live it as well. Shout to my co-writer and brother @Iam Tongi, for helping us bring our fatherly emotions together. I know what this song means to you too and one day we’ll sing the “other” version to our own dads who are in heaven when the time is right - in our hearts. Love you uso. #YourDad #VoicesAcrossTheOcean

Post workout meal since I’m always on the go and don’t have time to sit down and eat. (approx 30-45min after training) - 75g protein powder (prototype I’m working on) - 1 cup blueberries - Ice - Stevia - 125g of carbs cooked jasmine rice Blend. Enjoy. Lots of great questions about my current training split, diet, cardio + conditioning. My current weight is 232-235lbs and holding conditioning very nicely. I took a full year to drop 50lbs for my current role I’m shooting now (Benny Safdie’s “Lizard Music”). Wanted to be strategic and wise about the weight cut and not implement anything extreme. My high carb days (approx 450grams carbs) fall on my 2 leg days + Sun and my low/medium carb days (250-300g) fill out the rest of the week. Feel phenomenal at this weight, strength, endurance, pumps with training are all fantastic- cardiovascular is excellent and holding conditioning nice and tight. Of course my muscle fullness fluctuates through the week with lower carb days, but nothing a few pre workout rice cakes, honey and pinch of salt can’t fix 😋 💪🏾
