================================================== ========

When you have the courage to turn within and learn about "your" inner laws of being (i.e. what worked in the past and what didn't) and take the positive and constructive aspects, can you truly experience satisfaction in your life.

I truly believe that if we envision a goal and stay positively focused, that anything is possible; it's important to learn from past failures; whether it be in relationships, career or family. Without taking a risk and facing our fears, then an individual will never grow and will only stay stagnant.
================================================== ========

Whatever is your goal, whatever is your dream, just keep going; keep trying, keep pushing, keep pulling, keep fighting.

Realize that pain and discomfort WILL be present often enough to get you to think if all of this is really worth it.

Realize that sometimes you WILL hear words of discouragement come out from other people's mouths.

But when you know in your heart that you CAN achieve your goal, when you know your dream CAN become a reality, you accept these facts; you become aware that they will be a part of your journey. You acknowledge all of this, focus on what you desire AND YOU JUST KEEP GOING.
================================================== ========

The communicative-artery between your goal, and whether you stand on your personal podium of achievement, is the flesh occupying the contents of your skull, and its personal abilities to apply diet and fitness education toward the application of your fitness goal.

This is the greatest supplement known to man/woman.
================================================== ========

YOUR HEAD IS YOUR LEADER:its like screwing in a light bulb: Twist your mind INTO YOUR GOAL, and IT WILL LIGHT THE HELL UP!

Greatness won't find you. You have to work for it and it will be the hardest job you will ever have.

All the 'boys' I know of started with fullbody routines and that's how they got big

In my estimation; which by the way comes from 32 years of training and over 20 years of hands-on coaching, 99% of the weight trainees of the world have 'real lives'. By 'real lives' I mean they have real life responsibilities / loves such as family, career, academic, spiritual, and social to name a few. The flip side of this is that most of the training information that these 99% use, comes from trainees who don't have real lives - their only responsibility (or choice thereof) is to train, eat, sleep, and more than likely take steroids. Even some of the rare well-intentioned writers gleam most of their training info from these trainees. These programs or even toned-down derivatives of these programs will not work (or work very well) for you. Be honest. If you have been trying to make a program work for you that is based on the information derived from the 1% - is it really getting you to where you want to be? I know it isn't.

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.


The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens.


The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.


What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.


The best activities for your health are pumping and humping.

If a guy is small and weak they just need to be doing strength training irregardless of their goals IMO.
