Ep 459: You Bench 405, But Can’t Do a Pull-Up...You Suck With Coach Jimmy!
Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast! This week, Trent sits down with the beard-wielding, strength-slinging savant, Coach Jimmy of Modern Athlete Strength Systems (MASS)—because apparently we still need to explain why doing curls and skipping cardio won’t cut it in Special Warfare.Jimmy drops 20+ years of strength & conditioning wisdom (and shade) on everything from why 30-day programs are garbage, to how being “jacked and useless” is an actual epidemic. They dig into MASS’s 90-Day Unchained program, the myth of muscle without function, and how neck strength might just save your career and your spine. Oh, and Trent confesses to avoiding deadlifts for half his career—so, there’s that.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 “Neck and Traps are the New Abs” – Team Yoke is real. Stop skipping your carries. 💥 30-Day Programs Are Trash – You’re not a new person in a month. You’re just sore and confused. 💥 Relative > Absolute Strength – Cool, you bench 405. Can you move your own body weight? 💥 Pull-Ups Are King – If you can’t pull your own body up, you’re not a tactical asset—you’re cargo. 💥 Your Workout Shouldn’t Kill You – You’re training to last, not collapse in a puddle. 💥 Zone 2 Is the Hill to Die On – Boring? Yes. Effective? Also yes. 💥 Start Early, Lift Forever – Barbell doesn’t care how old you are. It only cares if you show up. 💥 Train Like Your Kids Are Watching – If you can’t play with them, what’s the point? 💥 Don’t Be That Cop Complaining About Body Armor – Train your neck and act like a professional. 💥 Buy In or Fall Off – You don’t need more time. You need structure and discipline.📢 Call-to-Actions:✅ Like this episode if your pull-up count is higher than your squat PR. 💬 Drop a comment if you've ever maxed out curls and skipped your cardio day. ⭐ Leave a review—unless you think 30-day challenges are the pinnacle of training science. 🛒 Visit OnesReady.com for merch, memberships, and more. 🎧 Subscribe, follow, and tell a friend who still trains like it’s 2004.Support the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pro...

Ep 458: I Joined Special Ops Because I Sucked at College: Trent's Story
Send us a textIn this heartwarming, sarcastic, slightly chaotic episode, Trent joins M42 Adventures to unpack 20 years of Air Force Special Warfare—and the wild decision-making process that got him there. Spoiler alert: It all started because he hated being told what to do... so naturally, he joined the military.We dive into what makes someone pursue a path where 90% of people fail, why burning your life down might be the best prep for basic training, and how Ones Ready accidentally became a podcast that survived five years, a global war, and zero profits.This is an episode for the ones who never fit the mold, who failed college but found meaning in uniform, and who figured out that purpose doesn’t come from clout—it comes from hard lessons, late nights, and unshakable discipline. And yeah, maybe a little stubbornness, too.You can find M42 Adventures on YouTube at: https://youtube.com/@m42_adventures?si=FenWAdC7eZKH5GTE🔥 Key Takeaways:Trent went from self-proclaimed “stubborn failure” to special ops instructor by doing the most Air Force thing possible: choosing structure over chaos.Military training pipelines: where 90% fail and 10% are too dumb to quit.“The itch” is real—whether it’s to serve, to suffer, or to find out what you're made of.College was a bust. Basic training was a buffet.Culinary school and special warfare have more in common than you think.Living on base is like working retail and sleeping in the stockroom. Don’t do it.Podcasting while active duty? Totally allowed. Just expect side-eyes from every commander ever.Retirement: Freedom through discipline, baby. Sleeping in is the new OPORD.Still no beard. Still no profits. Still doing it for the tribe.🎯 Call-to-Actions:📢 Smash that like button like it’s a failed ETP📲 Subscribe so we can keep giving you free therapy disguised as military talk💬 Drop a comment if you’ve ever been saved by structure (or the Air Force)🛒 Hit up OnesReady.com for merch that says “I made it through the suck”💣 Join the membership—we're not in it for fame, just freedom and communitySupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pro...

Ops Brief 025: Daily Drop - 10 April 2025 (Frankenjets, Family Day Cuts & Insider Real Estate Scams)
Send us a textToday’s Ones Ready Daily Drop is basically a masterclass in budget cuts, broken jets, bureaucratic gridlock, and spicy Space Force drama—with a splash of congressional nonsense and some suspicious real estate investments for good measure. Jared breaks it all down like a tactical briefing crossed with a roast.We’ve got $15 billion drone programs under review, a B-2 flying over Iran “just to say hi,” and service members getting offered their jobs back after being kicked out over a vaccine—because yeah, that’s how leadership works now. Oh, and Space Force might finally get to move to Huntsville, so go buy some land before another general does.From Air Force “Frankenjets” stitched together in a garage like military Frankenstein, to “mil-spec” gear that barely meets minimum standards, to ISR flights over the U.S.-Mexico border triggering cartel drone wars—this drop is full of “wait, what?” energy.🔥 Key Takeaways:Programs more than 15% over budget? Welcome to the chopping block. Sentinel ICBMs and Air Force One—your days might be numbered.B-2s deployed to Diego Garcia. Iran? Interpret that however you want.Vaccine holdouts have until April 26 to rejoin the party. About 400 out of 8,000 are biting.Air Force & Space Force canceled family days in 2025. Sorry, your BBQ just got operationally unfeasible.ISR missions on the southern border heating up as cartels start using drones. Special ops guys are getting itchy trigger fingers.“Frankenjet” is real—F-35A rebuilt from two wrecks for $11.7M. Frankenstein would be proud.Mar-a-Lago has had 25 no-fly zone violations this year. Apparently, no one reads charts.Space Force is working with South America to jam drug lords and track satellites. Sci-fi meets Narcos.Huntsville insiders probably already bought the land. Hope you’re not late to the party.Pentagon acquisition process: still slow, still broken, still helping China catch up.AI for defense: test fast or get left behind—but maybe don’t bet the war on ChatGPT just yet.“Mil-spec” just means it meets the bare minimum. You’re not special, Todd.🎯 Call-to-Actions: 🔥 Like this drop? Then like the video.
