Courage

·         Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”

·         Ralph Waldo Emerson

Not intimidated

·         "The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain -- he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem -- he is challenged by it. Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain... than a thousand foothills.”

·         William Arthur Ward

5 quick tips

5 quick tips

1.) No Ego Training (NET)

It's not always about lifting the heaviest possible weight...you can build muscle with your own body weight and isolation exercises and your more likely to remain injury free. The amount of times I see people training biceps with massive weights but with no form...then they complain their arms aren't growing!!? That's because they are mostly using their backs! Don't be macho and out of proportion, be smart and symmetric!

2.) Don’t Over Train (DOT)

Every muscle including your Abs needs sufficient time to recover properly! The gym isn't meant to be for defining your jaw line by catching up on the latest gossip! Get in, focus on the muscle being trained and keep yourself motivated with music if needs be! This will prevent too many disruptions/distractions! Try and keep it under and hour with small rest periods (pending on cutting or bulking).

3.) Don’t Forget to Drink (DFD)

Drinking water is essential for anyone but more so for the training enthusiasts! Dehydration or dropping water is not the way forward! You need water to flush the system, help sweat, prevent cramping along with helping energy levels and your skin complexion.

4.) Aim For Target (ATF)

If you don't have a goal to score in, how can you win!? You need to set yourself a target to keep motivated. Observing progression is the key to staying on top. If you don't know what you want then your wasting your time...your training and nutrition needs to be synced.

5.) Natural Is Best (NIB)

Eat your way to success! Use supplements and a good progressive training and nutrition program...believe in yourself and the gains will follow.

Persist

Persist until you succeed. There may be times we face those with more talent, but never allow yourself to be outworked. Put forth your best effort. Do the things that make you perform at your highest level. Focus relentlessly and carry forward an unwavering mental toughness. Confidently know you will not have any regrets for going all in.

No limits

There really are no limits when it comes to fitness...there will always be one to push through...I love this because it shows me there will always be a new goal to reach, something new to achieve. You should never be done with your body...it is an amazing creation and deserves to be great! Push past what you think your limits are...your comfort zone and see amazing things start to happen.

limits

·         Limits are for us to define. We can go as little or as far as our minds allow. It won't be easy but achieving great things never is. It takes strength, willpower, commitment and dedication to smash through barriers. The end result...every drop of sweat, every ounce of effort you give will be worth it. Be limitless and take control of your life.

mistakes

·         Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did......
