All the routines and training advice in the world don't mean shit unless you actually go to the gym and lift. You want some respect around here, log some workouts. Go get some.

[CoopDawg]

A change "can be" good, Coop. You cannot control everything that happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

Have your mind WIDE OPEN, and allow progress in your training to be a BASE for your motivation to bread INTO other aspects of your life, and use your brain to bring in differing aspects of inspiration to keep you motivated when your lifestyle environment wants to sand blast your internal will and desire

Always tell yourself you can do better, and you will. Willing it to happen, has been the cornerstone for many successes.

Congrats on the new routine. Stick with it long enough to see if will work for you young man. I wish you much success, and you KNOW you will be successful in this personal journey you are participating in.


Peace and Happiness to you and your family,


Don

You are very welcome, Coop. It takes hard work, dedication, persistence, and an educated level of "deprivation" (a sacrifice for the benefit of something else)to earn a goal one seeks. You are required to pay the toll to see your goal. There is no other way. If you fully accept this as truth, this is a major accomplishment toward establishing your goal. To be your goal, you must think and act according to your goal on a consistent and on-going basis, and likewise, your body will be consistent in rewarding the same. You have to provide the body "a valid reason" to change, and with this log and routine, you will do just that. You have all you need. It is the contents of the skull, and the flesh covered with skin: You.


Best wishes, Coop
