Strength: The Field Manual
Developed by Dr. Mike Roussell, Strength: The Field Manual, provides all the information and tools you need to develop strength in your life. By looking at the principles of strength, fueling strength and strength in action, this guide was developed to inspire and guide you to build strength in all areas of your life.
Principles of strength
The drive to be stronger is innate. While strength can refer to our physical pursuits, strength is anything that gives us the ability to live our lives to the fullest. Our quest for strength is personal and defined by each of us according to our own desires. But no matter your personal definition, all strength is fulfilled and grounded in one of our greatest sources for strength: beef’s protein.
Fueling Strength
A balanced diet including high-quality protein and other nutrient-rich foods is an essential component for strength. Learn the science behind each cornerstone of a balanced diet and practical applications into daily life storied from people who incorporate them into their healthy lifestyles.
Strength in action
Strength is derived through the process of making positive changes. Small, daily, consistent actions are needed to keep moving toward bigger goals. Discover how we achieve strength through daily actions that move us closer to our goal, regardless of your starting point.
