[@gleehappy3366]

This is so motivating, and the part where you say that you will get everything done for yourself early so you don’t become selfish and take time away from others really hit me. Thanks man.

[@StarxPlayz7]

yes indeed, i need to be organised.my kids 8and 9 hate it when i have to stop playing with them and go to tje gym.

[@JBDacasinJr]

From one dad to another. This is easily life coach material man. It’s always important to organize all the time you have and that everyone from a family perspective understands it as well. When it’s scheduled in, it’s pretty much high chance of getting done. I appreciate your vids. Keep up the good work.

[@texasjedi8680]

Just watched this and wanted to say somethin of the same essence. Preciate the knowledge in this one fr. Hearing this methodology,no wonder he’s been making major strides in the last few years. Love to see it brotha

[@iantoppin]

Love this style keep them coming

[@davidcandelaria8863]

I definitely like the style of video. Your mentorship program is top on my list. Keep grinding Phil! I appreciate the business info and coaching videos. Podcasts are good too.

[@PhilDaruStrong]

[@Tomara632]

Their lucky to have you.... You are so caring and thoughtful towards your family.... More men need to watch this..... You can't be laughing and f###ing up at the same time.... My quote of the day.

[@claudemott]

you had me at Epictetus brother. i end my day with a chapter from The Daily Stoic devotional. its changed how I live.

[@garrettpilling6560]

I would love to see Dustin's fight prep for this upcoming fight.

[@heythere452]

This is by far the most quality MMA and martial arts channel. Keep up that good work man

[@lucasl6943]

Maan! A lot of working for one day. For those stupid that say: "it is only training.." no stupid, it's a lifestyle. Great job. Keep going. We are learning from u. Thanks. Regards from Argentina.

[@jaildaddy5310]

Gotta do vids about ur bookshelf

[@pjbrown6630]

Keep it up Daru you have opened my eyes with the knowledge you have gained over the years. I love your systematic thinking man. I do like these kind of videos but still show us power and speed training for mma etc.

[@JacobDeRossett]

Ok…… New to Daru, I’m a trainer, we have a ton of learning overlap so I’m already a fan. I gotta say, when people talk about morning routines and what not, I’m normally turned off…. But something about this is fucking motivating. So much so I’m hopping off KZbin and reading a book. ( I do tons of learning on KZbin but my stack of books is similar to yours and it ain’t gettin smaller ). Keep doing what you do Daru!

[@Ufctopdawg]

On a new level

[@ALL_CAPS__]

It 3 am watching Daru trying to fall asleep. Guess I got to be up at 430 am. 😆

[@roflswamp6]

Bro same lmao 🤣 except its 1 am In socal so I got some extra hrs lol

[@x-Musashi-x]

Yo coach I am on week three of your fight ready conditioning program during these COVID times and in the beginning I judged on how easy it looks, but dude it is kicking my ass! (In a good way) I used to do heavy lifting all the time with sprints for my MMA training, but it would fry my brain up. Entering your program, I tried lifting heavy with the rep ranges, and failed. I read the fight ready pdf on how to approach the program, and let down my pride and put down the poundages on the exercises. What I realized with your training program; Yes I am lifting lighter to reach the recommended higher rep ranges, but I am feeling energized during my day job AND my Grappling and Striking sessions. I am even stronger and explosive with me movements, single leg and double legging even the veterans!!! I ain’t tapping the veterans out, but man am I getting dominant positions in all angles. I’m giving higher belts a run for their money, and I am sparring better than ever. I would note that in just three weeks, I am MOVING efficiently. I am so hyped to be at the 3 month mark! But I got to be patient. Also, many people are asking if I am getting into bodybuilding 😂. I was 145 lbs before starting, now I am at 150 lbs. I love your program, and what I love the most is the corrective exercises. I am in love because I feel stronger in the knees and have the confidence to move without fearing injuries. I trust the process and I can’t wait on what I will become after completing all phases of your program! Thanks coach. Best money I spent.

[@PhilDaruStrong]

That’s phenomenal bro I’m glad to see this keep up the great work and keep posted on your continued progress!

[@francescomastroieni8078]

Different content from what this channels usually gives but i found it very intresting so thank you!

[@arktzen]

so good to see your interest in soviet books. we can learn so much from them, i also bought the soviet book you recommended in another of your videos.

[@shalanabdur-raqeeb4764]

I loved this video bro. Thanks all the way from Egypt.

[@deenkay236]

You can tell this man loves what he does and these men and women are lucky to have such a great coach! Keep it up my man! Got one question about sleep though: I know you can't say "You need X hours of sleep every day" because it differs from person to person. But can you tell if there's a minimal amount of time someone needs to sleep in order NOT to negatively affect your regeneration? I've been getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night lately and sometimes I feel like im more vurnable for injuries than before when I slept like 7-8h a night. This leads me to the video: I really enjoyed you being followed by the camera through the different steps. It gives us a different perspective. Also I think I need to adapt the planning and preparing part in order to use my time more efficiently. This would mean I get more sleep :)

[@PhilDaruStrong]

Deen kay I appreciate that.. I do believe a minimum of 5 hours is sufficient for everyone now with that being said I’m no sleep expert but from personal experience I do well in 5-6 hours nothing more nothing less.

[@underdogeducator4094]

What's up Phil? Ur content is really dope! Luv it bro! Can refer some more books. Just some books are fitness (Breathing, mobility, etc.)

[@wayneclark6606]

You do excellent work! I’m impressed and intrigued by all that you do, both as a trainer, teacher, mentor, just an all around leader and uplifter of men! This is what I aim to do everyday, but I admire someone who’s ahead of the game and that I can learn from. I watch a lot of your content, and follow you on social media. Keep up the great work, I am a USA masters boxer that follows your stuff! Thank you 🙏🏽👍🏽🥊💯🔥💪🏾🏋🏽🏃🏿

Most definitely please!

[@Jayscarrealm]

Thanks for the insight into your days Phil. Always inspirational to see what you do and how you do it. I agree with you fully about always learning and getting better. My mentor, who was a a football coach and retired commander of the police SWAT team, taught me if you're not getting better, you're getting worse. Always keep training your mind and body. Keep up that good work!

[@bezbeanzjett195]

I been looking for a mentor. I was watching icy Mike, but he is kinda greasy. I just found you. I have already been getting to build a new routine. I'm very glad you appeared. I'm taking BJJ. But I need more focus.

[@yahyaelissami9596]

Best of luck for you mate LETTTSSSSS GET IT

[@bezbeanzjett195]

Oh yeah! I'm lucky, I got Mike caulo as my coach. He worked for tiger Muay Thai. And we have guys from American top team, and pro fighters in our gym. So I have great support.

You the man Phil, keep it up!

[@CannabisGainz]

Good stuff ! Thanks for sharing !!

[@dmitriybelous7775]

my question is where did you put time for your family especially with a 1.5 hour commute back and forth..

[@PhilDaruStrong]

Dmitriy Belous my son is with me at my gym helping with coaching and playing hes 5 years old I have a dedicated 2 days a week where I only focus on them with my wife and 3 kids trust me im putting in the work not only in the gym but as a husband and father!

[@rubenrangel91]

@@PhilDaruStrong was going to ask the same thing bro. It gets tough being parents and learning how to set time away for just family with no distractions! Much respect bro! I like that idea of dedicating 2 days every week just for them!

[@localbugs6299]

4:30 is insane but I also don’t have a 90 minute drive or kids to get back to lol. I do follow a similar schedule. Wake up 6:30, study my Bible, get my work in at the gym, then get all my work out the way (I work at home for myself), go and spar/roll which starts at 11, after that I spend about 3-4 hours with the wife, maybe do a little work if need be, then go spar/roll some more, come home, chill out then go to bed

[@shanewalsh1868]

What you work?

[@localbugs6299]

Shane Walsh I’m a day trader. Started learning when I was young. Mock markets. Got a job, grinded my butt off to raise capital, had a few fortunate/blessed trades that helped with my capital, now I’m able to live in a basic apartment, eat rice and beans, while dedicating my time to fighting

I really like these kind of videos!!! Keep it up!

[@thewrightthings]

Great video. You and I talked on twitter a few months ago (after the Mike Dolce podcast) about the benefits of waking up before everyone else to get your workout in. It's been a game changer and I don't have to feel selfish about wanting to workout and take time away from the baby/lady. You were 100% right

[@jennypj8044]

Loved this video keep these coming 🙌🏽 thank you!

[@Eike979]

Thx

[@Departion]

Thank you for these videos

[@willesloco]

Great video, you manage to pack in so much into 24 hours! How often do you allow yourself a day off or a relaxation day? Also I've noticed in several of your videos, your warm up routine of heel to toe, lunges, walking on heels and toes etc. What are the main benefits of this warm up? Thanks for the great and informative videos.

[@PhilDaruStrong]

I really don’t have too much time off I’m still in a warrior stage of my life so things need to be full steam ahead.. as far as the base support system prep this was taken from a strength coach down here in Florida by the name of Pete Bomaritto this essentially is to increase strength and stability and mobility of the lower limbs to prime the body to do work

[@willesloco]

@@PhilDaruStrong Hi Phil, thanks for taking the time out for this concise reply. Much appreciated. I will definitely try to incorporate some of those moves to my warm up routine. Keep up the great videos! They are reaching far and wide (Wales, UK in my case!).
