You Think You’re Doing the Work?

Welcome back to the Primitive Podcast – your source for raw, real conversations from the floor of Primitive Movement x Swole AF Gym. In Episode 2, Coach Adan is solo behind the mic to challenge a mindset most of us fall into: thinking we’re “doing the work” when we’re really avoiding the hard stuff.

This episode isn’t about motivation, it’s about awareness. If you're chasing results but ignoring the details, this one’s for you.

What’s Inside Episode 2

• The hidden work: You’re showing up… but are you actually doing the things that move you forward? Adan breaks down the illusion of effort and the cost of inconsistency.

• Self-judgment as growth fuel: Judgment doesn’t have to be negative — it can be your most powerful accountability tool if used correctly.

• Why reps matter more than results: From folding towels to lifting weights to building a business, progress lives in the smallest habits done with intention.

• Athlete mindset meets life: Whether you’re a parent, coach, or business owner, the lessons apply — do the work, even when nobody’s watching.

This episode delivers a necessary wake-up call: most people aren't overtrained, they’re just undercommitted to the right work. If you’re ready to stop playing in the shallow end, this is where you dive deeper.

“You're not actually doing the work. You're performing the idea of work. That's not the same.” — Coach Adan

Discipline Over Motivation is more than a title, it’s a mindset shift. If you're tired of waiting for the perfect conditions, the energy, or the mood, then it's time to let that go. You don’t need more motivation. You need movement, systems, and a reason bigger than your excuses.

Show up. Not when it feels good, but when it matters. If you’re ready to stop coasting in the shallow end and start putting in real, reps-driven work… this is your episode.
