mindset

Every repetition is an opportunity to get better.

Are you running toward something or looking for a way out?

Training without analysis isn’t really training at all. It's not about smashing yourself and trying to get as sore or tired or beaten as possible.

One stroke at a time, one step at a time, one breath at a time.

Training comes down to stress management. The more you can apply, and the more you can handle, the better your results will be, and the faster they’ll come.

A correctly designed program with all the right exercises and sets and reps is only half the story. The other half is the effort you put in.

Power is a state of mind.

If we don’t use our freedom to impose limitations then we will never be free.

Adaptation is when the body changes, and it’s a process, not the prize.

You have to take control of your fears.

Resetting your defaults will yield success and drive insanity out the door.

Focusing on the small steps that need to be taken on a consistent basis is the key to success.

Find some balance in your life and remember to have fun and don't suffocate the good stuff.

If you can’t abide at the gym by participating with genuine heartfelt presence the way you would at church, then you should find someplace else to go.

Failure is hardly the worst thing that could happen.

Maximizing our potential requires that we break free of our need for constant comfort.

If you are stuck, maybe you don't need to train like a pro bodybuilder or think that you might be one.
