HARD WORK NEVER KILLED NOBODY




Aint it the truth?
Yep - the brutal truth.
Bodybuilding is a strange lifestyle...it's not for everyone...but for those of us who choose to dedicate our lives to the pursuit of our own version of perfection, it's the only life there is.
And I daresay, it's a beautifully painful one.
I think to myself, if only most people would understand that drive, determination and hard work poured into a specific direction most often leads to a measure of success...and that re-evaluation of the plan in an intelligent process of review and re-focus...this conserves and maximizes resources, toward the ultimate goal of maximizing outcomes...
This is the bodybuilding process...the process of progressive resistance, the beautifully adaptive process of "lift-heavy-get-stronger-do-it-again-rest-grow-do-it-again-and-again".

It's a way of life for some of us.

I always remind myself of this: It's not where you end up, but where you started and how far you go with what you've been given that truly matters...
This is the real source of pride...It's the brutal truth.
So, start today, pursuing your own personal legend.

What the heck is wrong with you animals????? hahahaha... this is insane. I wish I could have been there to witness this act of "super heroism." This surely defines and compliments your philosophy of "bringing out the super hero in you." I can't believe this... wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

Brenda!
Hahaha! yep, and you are one of us, girl!
What we do gives homage to the family of 619 Muscle and to our way of life. There is no greater tribute to the good Lord than to make the most of the gifts we've been given. Steve PreFontaine, Olympic runner and inspirational athlete, said of our lives and pushing it to the limits:

"To give less than your best is to waste the gift."

Don't ever waste the gift.
