Building the Diesel Dad
Welcome to the Diesel Dad 100

“Where the hell did all the time go?”
This is the number one thing I found myself wondering when I had my
daughter in 2018.
Six month after she was born I woke up at 205 pounds - 15 pounds more
than the day she was born.
Poor sleep led to poor nutrition and inconsistent training.
Being an ex-athlete, I know how to cut weight, so that is what I did.
I immediately cut the calories, got to 190, and felt like an athlete again.
Unfortunately, I still had not built the systems and structures into life
that allowed for long term, sustainable success. Over the next 6 months,
I again fell off the wagon, and ballooned up to 201.
This time, instead of cutting weight, I realized I needed to shift my
identity.
The old athlete that trained 60-90 minutes a day, ate whatever,
and spent hours at the gym was a thing of the past.
I was a dad, I had new priorities, and less time than ever
to get everything done.
When I competed in sports, life structures were easy.
I lifted, ate, and lived the life of an athlete. Every decision, friendship,
and system was designed to make me better at ice hockey, CrossFit,
and weightlifting.
None of that was me anymore.
THE DIESEL DAD 100 | 6
Building the Diesel Dad (CONT.)
Now I was Dad.
But’ “Dad” sounds boring and I haven’t trained and competed my
entire life to be some regular dad with inconsistent workouts, average
nutrition, and a soft dad bod.
In my heart I am still an athlete and I still want to train hard.
Herein lies the problem: balancing fitness, family, and fatherhood.
This is when I created the superhero. The dad I aspire
to be every day of my life.
The dad that is strong, lean and athletic.
The dad that is a savage father.
The dad that is a savage husband.
The dad that runs a savage business.
The dad that is a savage in the gym.
The dad that is strong, lean, and athletic without sacrificing family,
fatherhood, or fitness. That dad is the Diesel Dad.
...and it was time to build the superhero.

OWN YOUR MORNING
The second my daughter wakes up, I no longer own time.
I immediately feel behind the eight ball.
Diapers, brushing teeth, combing hair, making eggs, getting
dressed, and getting her in a car seat to go to preschool is nothing
short of a 90-minute long, chaotic, NASCAR pit stop.
Going from dead asleep, immediatley into hardcore dad, is a
terrifying way to start your day.
On top of that, as soon as I drop her off, business is in full swing.
Emails, team meetings, and whatever else is on tap for the day.
If I am lucky, sometime around noon, I may get 20 minutes to
breathe, go for a walk, and actually do something for myself.
This is not how the Diesel Dad superhero starts his day.
The Diesel Dad needs quiet time to focus, check in with his body,
brain, and make a strong cup of coffee before the world wakes up.
The Diesel Dad starts his day with the most effective morning
routine for getting strong, lean, and athletic without sacrificing
family, fatherhood, or fitness.
THE DIESEL DAD 100 | 8
The Diesel Dad 100
The Diesel Dad 100 is the most effective way for busy dads to get strong, lean,
and athletic without sacrificing family, fatherhood, or fitness in under 10 minutes.
Instead of waking up and getting fed to the wolves of fatherhood and breakfast
time, I look at the morning as an opportunity to improve my fitness, positively
start my day, and block out time just for me.
It started by setting the alarm clock 30-minutes before my family wakes up.
I would creep out of bed, turn on the pot of coffee, and while it was brewing, hit
some push ups and air squats.
The simple movements made me feel amazing.
Getting some blood flow to the muscles, becoming more alert, focusing on
quality movement, and fitness started my day in the most positive way possible.
Very quickly, I started using dumbbells, kettlebells, and light weights to the
routine.
To add structure to this routine, I made a commitment that immediately upon
waking up, I would accumulate 100 quality reps of 2-3 exercises to start my day.
Suddenly, I owned my mornings.
I was wide awake, excited for the day, had a nice pump, and did something for
myself first thing, before anyone was awake.
The momentum carried throughout the day.
I ate healthier because I had positive momentum.
I was motivated to take walks during the day instead of sitting for hours on end.
I became more consistent with my training because I felt better and was less
tired throughout the day.
I am nine months in, consistently waking up 30 minutes before my family sees
the light of day.
I turn on the coffee, go to the garage, hit the Diesel Dad 100, accumulate 100
quality reps of 2-3 exercises, and if I have time, I take a morning walk.
The Diesel Dad 100 is the golden ticket to owning your morning, creating space
to build positive momentum, and filling your cup before the world wakes up and
demands your attention.
THE DIESEL DAD 100 | 9
TRIGGER > HABIT > REWARD
The goal of the Diesel Dad 100 is not solely to get out of bed
and do some push ups.
The goal is to build habits that become the systems and structures that define
your life.
To become a Diesel Dad, you have to do what Diesel Dad’s do.
Your daily practice creates habits.
To create a habit, you need something that triggers a behavior, and that
behavior must be met with a positive reward.
For me, I set the alarm 30 minutes early (trigger).
While the coffee is brewing I go to the garage and do the Diesel Dad 100.
There are five major rewards that have led to my consistent success
with the 'Diesel Dad 100':
1. O W N T H E M O R N I N G : By the time my family and business wake up,
I have already gotten in a small workout, cup of coffee, and some fresh
air. Everything else is easy when you fill your own cup first.
2. S T R E N G T H : I like lifting weights. The simple act of waking up, doing
something I enjoy, and telling my muscles they are needed makes me
happy, a little stronger, and physically prepared for my day.
3. M O B I L I T Y : I no longer wake up and feel cranky joints or stiffness. My
body is prepared to move and accustomed to movement early in the
day without a big warm up.
4. C O N F I D E N C E : I feel like the Diesel Dad 100 gives me an edge in
life. While the entire world is sleeping I am awake, getting stronger,
and preparing my body and mind for the day. By the time the world
wakes up, I am miles ahead of them in preparedness, and the daily
commitment is compounding interest.
5. H A P P I N E S S : There is no greater feeling than accomplishing
something meaningful first thing in the day. Momentum is hard to attain
and everyday we fight the inertia to get moving. The Diesel Dad 100
starts your day with a win that carries into every aspect of that day.
These rewards create a system of behaviors that drive me to building the
superhero I aspire to be, the Diesel Dad.

Habit Stacking: Training and Nutrition
The Diesel Dad 100 is the most optimal way to own your morning, build
confidence, improve fitness, and create positive momentum in your life.
However, living the Diesel Dad life doesn’t end on the 100th rep of the Diesel
Dad 100 morning routine.
In my attempt to build the Diesel Dad superhero, I started with the simplest,
easiest change I could make to bring the highest value to my life.
The answer was the Diesel Dad 100.
That simple solution gave me the momentum to go further and dig deeper.
I started asking better questions:
How does the Diesel Dad train?
How does the Diesel Dad eat to get strong, lean, and athletic without sacrificing
family, fatherhood, and fitness?
The same way I created the Diesel Dad 100, I needed simple solutions to
optimize the way I ate and trained.
In the first 18 months of being a dad my weight moved from 190 to 205 to 190
and back to 201.
At 201, I created the Diesel Dad and started living the life of the superhero I
aspired to be.
Today I sit at 189, the leanest I have been since 2014 the last time I competed in
CrossFit at the peak of my training career.
How did I do it?
THE DIESEL DAD 100 | 11
Diesel Dad Nutrition
Diesel Dad Nutrition follows two rules:
1.
2.
Manage Calories
Eat enough protein
Everything else is negligible.
Look, I am a dad.
I have birthday parties, inlaws, and happy hours that I am
socially responsible for attending.
Turning down the cake or the beer is rude.
Remember, “without sacrificing family, fatherhood, or fitness,” is a key
component of the Diesel Dad.
How many times are you going to say no to the birthday cake or happy hour
before you are a bad husband, dad, or just being the annoying person that stops
getting invited places.
Diesel Dad Nutrition relieved all the anxiety of social situations, simplified my
nutrition principles, and created a sustainable way for me to be strong, lean, and
athletic without sacrificing family, fatherhood, or fitness.

Diesel Dad Strength Training
My whole life I spent hours and hours a day in the gym.
Some of it training, most of it just hanging out, being in the place I love.
I do not have that kind of time anymore.
Time in the gym is time away from the family and I do not like the opportunity
cost of being away from my family for multiple hours so I can workout.
How does the Diesel Dad train?
The goals are clearly laid out: Strong, Lean, and Athletic.
For each goal, I designed a program for each.
When I have 45-60 minutes to spend training, I get strong.
