This Was Never the Plan

I didn’t set out to create a brand.
I just refused to stay broken.

My name’s Andrew Vigorito. I’m a husband. A dad. An ER nurse who works overtime.
And I’m not supposed to be doing any of this.

A while back, I tore a tendon in my shoulder at work.
No big deal, I thought. But the injection I got made it worse — a lot worse.
I landed in the hospital with septic shock, a shoulder full of pus, and a surgeon telling me I’d be lucky to lift my arm again — let alone train.

I was out for months. IV antibiotics. Surgery. Pain.
The kind of dark season that makes you wonder if you’ll ever come back.

But I did.

Slowly. Agonizingly. One rep at a time.
I trained to lift my arm before I trained to lift a barbell.

 

🩸 Then Came The Reckoning

Somewhere along that climb back, something flipped.
I didn’t want to just “get back to normal.”
I wanted to become something unshakable.

So I created a challenge.
One so brutal it almost sounded stupid:

  • Lift 6.2x my bodyweight

  • Run 62 miles

  • Crush 620 reps
    —All inside 24 hours.

Why? Because I needed a war to fight.
And I knew I wasn’t the only one.

🛡️ What Toughest Alive Means

Toughest Alive isn’t a slogan.
It’s not about being the most ripped or the fastest on Strava.

It’s about refusing to quit — no matter how many times you’ve failed, gotten hurt, or had to start over.

It’s for the quiet fighters.
The comeback stories.
The ones who lace up in the dark, do their work, and don’t post a thing — because the only person they’re trying to impress is the one staring back in the mirror.

🤝 This Is Bigger Than Me

The training. The challenge. The Blueprint. The Underground.
None of it’s just about me.

I created this so people like us — the ones who’ve struggled, been sidelined, or just want to demand more of ourselves — can find something worth showing up for.

We check in daily.
We share our wins and our losses.
And we lift each other — every single day.

This isn’t just a fitness app.
It’s a war room for the relentless.

⏳ Ready to Go?

You don’t need to be the best.
Just be willing to fight for better.
