First Set Mindset

The “First Set Mindset” flips the script: treat your first set (and every set) like it’s your only set.

~ Schwarzenegger​, Arnold, The Muscle Principles, 2025

Sound advice, and not just for the gym. Apply this philosophy to life and work. 

Approach every action, every task, every project "like it’s you

We can all be in the same place and not have the same experience. perspective is everything. You got who embrace hard times because they know it will make them grow. Then you have others who will complain when the hard times come because it forces them to be out of their comfort zone and they just don’t have the grind!

Not everyone cares—and that’s okay.

🔹 Few know your niche.
🔹 Fewer care.
🔹 Focus on those who do.

Serve your tribe, not the masses.

Not everyone cares—and that’s okay.

🔹 Few know your niche.
🔹 Fewer care.
🔹 Focus on those who do.

Serve your tribe.

The best way to build confidence in your solution…

…Is to get early feedback.

🟢 Discuss your ideas before implementing them.
🟢 Get someone to eyeball your solution as early as possible.
🟢 Deploy something and let people have a play as soon as you can.

Too often, I've found myself tucked away working on a feature, going deeper and deeper down that rabbit hole...

Have you ever felt the pressure of breaking the build?

We had the current build status projected on a large wall…

If you broke the build, everyone knew about it!

My anxiety went through the roof the first time I had to commit my code…

In another role, I received the dreaded email that my last deployment was holding up the release of several other teams with looming deadlines…

In software engineering, we are often encouraged to think about our contribution...

👉 What did " I " do yesterday...?
👉 What am " I " doing today...?

The language we use, both inwardly and outwardly, sets the tone for how we work and interact with others…

Software engineering is a team game; our language should reflect that…

The obvious:
👉 What did "the team" do yesterday?
