Dads Who Lift

Dads Who Lift Our Online Coaching Program helps busy Dads fight the fear of failure on their journey to bigger arms and a slimmer waist. A few rules of this group:

1.

This group is for busy Dads who are trying to look better in a T-shirt. They are trying to improve their lives through healthy fitness and nutritional habits and be role models for their children to follow. We all support each other as we strive to reach our fitness goals and start looking like a Dad Who Lifts! This page is from the Owner of Dads Who Lift, Coach Ryan Collins. DWL is a company that

provides Online Coaching Programs to Dads who want to look, move, and feel better. Programs and Services are only offered to guys who have at least 1 child, are wanting to add muscle mass, and/or have more than 5-10 lbs of fat to lose.
2. If you are not a father, then this group is not a good fit for you as topics discussed on this page will only relate to fathers.
3. No Spammers allowed. If you have a product or a service you wish to promote, please get it cleared with Coach or it will be removed from the page.
4. If you have a friend, neighbor, or someone else you know who is a father struggling with keeping up with their fitness regimen because their life is busy and overwhelming, please share this group with them. The purpose of this page is to help Dads get their time and energy back and to enjoy life with their growing family!
5. If you have a specific question you would like addressed, please title every post "ASK" so it is clear to anyone who sees your post that you need help with something in particular.
6. Do not bash other people on this page. We are here to support each other. It doesn’t matter how much you can squat or what your percentage of body fat is: what matter is that we all have the same goal of being healthy, strong fathers to our children.
7. Any outside links must first be approved of by Coach before it can be posted on this page. Not doing this will get your post deleted.
8. This page is for Dads looking for guidance with their fitness and nutritional goals. All topics discussed should be related on how to improve the mental, physical, and spiritual health of the busy father. Any topic that does not relate to this will be removed.

Save this post for the end of your next leg day workout and let me know how much you hate me afterwards

If you’ve been training hard for a while, you’ve probably run into this problem:

The dumbbells aren’t heavy enough for rows anymore.

That’s a good problem to have.

That’s where the One-Arm Landmine Row comes in.

The split stance creates a stable base while the hip hinge loads the glutes and hamstrings, forcing your posterior chain and core to stay engaged throughout the movement.

To get the most out of this exercise:

✅ Set up in a split stance with the outside leg forward

✅ Push your hips back and maintain a slight bend in the knee

✅ Feel a stretch in your hamstring before you start rowing

✅ Pull your elbow toward your hip, not straight up toward your shoulder

This variation is great for building a stronger back, stronger glutes, and a stronger core while allowing you to keep adding weight when the dumbbell rack is no longer challenging enough.

Less momentum.
More tension.
More muscle.

If you’ve ever outgrown the dumbbell rack, drop a 💪 below!

Most guys don’t lose themselves when they become a father.

They lose themselves when they stop investing in themselves.

Workouts become optional. Discipline fades. Life gets busy. Before they know it, survival mode takes over.

I’ve seen it happen. I’ve felt it myself.

But when you’re building strength, it’s not always  about putting up big numbers or adding muscle. It’s proving you can still do hard things, grow, and move forward. 

Your family doesn’t need a perfect dad.

Your family needs a dad who keeps showing up, getting stronger.

A Disciplined Dad who never stops trying to get better.

If you’re on a mission to get stronger, tighten up your stomach and need some guidance doing so, reach out to a coach.

A good coach will help you collapse time in helping you reach your goals. 

And if you’re a Dad who lifts and wants to work with Dads Who Lift, shoot me a message and I’ll fill you in on the details. 💪

Kids don’t just inherit our values.

They inherit our habits.

Our sons see two parents who make health a priority.

Our daughters see two parents who show up even when life gets busy.

Now they’re creating those habits together.

That’s the real goal.

Not just raising strong kids.

Raising kids who know how to become strong adults.

Grateful to build this life with my family.

Discipline isn’t just about looking better.

It’s about becoming dependable.

The small decisions nobody applauds:

* waking up early,
* training when you’re tired,
* staying patient under pressure,
* keeping your word,
* controlling your habits…

Those choices become stability later.

Most men want security while avoiding the process that creates it.

Discipline today becomes security tomorrow.

Like this post if you agree 💪.

Most dads don’t fail because they’re incapable.

They fail because the day gets away from them.

Work.
Family..
Responsibilities.
Distractions.
Excuses.

And by the end of the night, the workout gets pushed to “tomorrow.”

But discipline is built in moments exactly like this.

Not when life is quiet.
When life is full.

That’s the difference.

The dads who stay strong long-term don’t rely on motivation.
They rely on clarity and consistency.

Make a plan.
Get the work in.
Lead by example.
Repeat.

If you want accountability, structure, and a customized program that fits your schedule this summer, send me a message so I can give you the details.
