🛡 RTR Daily: The War Room of Parabellum

Welcome to RTR Daily, where the grind becomes strategy. This isn’t just a blog—it’s your daily mission brief for building a stronger, smarter, more capable version of yourself. Every post here reflects the journey I’m living right alongside you: training hard, thinking critically, recovering intelligently, and showing up with purpose.

This page is a war journal—a raw, real-time record of what it means to train under the Parabellum banner.

Here, we follow the motto: Train for war. Build the machine. Learn to wield it.
That’s not just a slogan—it’s the framework. Whether I’m logging a hypertrophy session, breaking down movement mechanics, diving into mindset work, or analyzing performance data, every entry is part of a larger mission: physical mastery through intelligent training.

Parabellum isn’t a quick fix or an aesthetic gimmick. It’s a system forged from science, battle-tested through coaching, and fueled by the relentless pursuit of excellence. We build muscle, develop skill, and unleash athleticism—all while staying grounded in principles that scale from the beginner to the elite.

What You'll Find Here:

  • 🧠 Training Logs – Daily breakdowns from my personal program, straight from the trenches.

  • 📆 Event Updates – Where I’ll be, what I’m hosting, and how you can join the mission.

  • 📖 Reflections & Reads – Lessons from books, recovery strategies, and leadership insights.

  • 🔍 Method Explanations – The why behind our training: tempo, volume, periodization, performance.

  • ⚙️ Tools I Use – Gear, tech, supplements, and systems that keep the machine running.

This is a space for those who train with intention. Who want more than “fit.”
Who train to be ready—for anything.

Welcome to the War Room.

WELCOME TO PARABELLUM ELITE

Hi, I’m Richard Rivera, better known as Coach Rich. As a 31-year-old Army veteran, I’ve faced challenges, grown stronger, and learned the value of perseverance.

By becoming a part of Parabellum Elite, you’re not only investing in your fitness but also supporting my dream of helping as many people as I can reach their goals.

Thank you for believing in me and allowing me to be a part of your journey. Together, let’s build strength, confidence, and a mindset prepared to conquer any challenge.
