15 April 2013 -The Reason...

This is just a small vid on why the best do what they do. I am no less motivated most days, and on the days i am not motivated i find a way to fire myself up and do what needs to be done. Why i do what i do is for a variety of reasons. Not being average is one of them. A little narcissistic i know but really every day is a gift.

So why not do something with the health and function i have?
 My job is a big motivator. I have been both a fat slob out of shape which i NEVER want to repeat. I have also been as fit as i could possibly be (at the time). But i know there is more i can do to beat level of strength, that level of conditioning and overall awesomeness. I still have time, everyday.
It does drive me to anger some days i am injured but i keep it focused or at least channel it into something productive. I have a desire to see what i am truly made of. i have been there, I know where the line is, but for reason i am not content and i do want to go back. Back to the line physically where you aren't sure you are good enough, strong enough, or have trained enough. Some how i kept moving forward. Just like what i did from the day i was injured July 2012. Kept moving forward.

Today was one of those days i woke up fired up and ready to go.

Very solid session today. I could be a little tighter in my upper back but over all leg drive was decent and everything moved well off the chest. I have noticed i am starting to lift my head when i bench because i am trying to watch the bar. going to have to break that habit right away. That set of ten was fucking intense. I went for rep 11 but could not quite lock it out, so it doesn't count.

A little over an hr for this. Kept myself moving and occupied rather than sitting around and waiting for the next set. I did want to get some rear Delt work in but i will get it in tomorrow morning with the sled. So tomorrow is going to be like fighting a crocodile. I win or i die or somewhere that intense anyhow. Find your reason to train and live your life.

Keep Moving FORWARD, Keep Getting Strong(er)
