AthleticX’s BodyBlog

Its been a few days since my last blog entry.  I have been on bodybuilding.com and have been interacting with some pretty amazing people and I look forward to the continual growth of my friends list.  My stats are still pretty low for my bodyspace but thats ok.  Those stats will continue to grow and I will continue to improve as well as reach out and inspire and motivate others as well as them doing the same for me.  You can’t become a legend over night, it takes hard work, heart, and dedication.  Thankfully I contain them all.  The training has been going well and I am making tremendous progress towards my ultimate goals physically and athletically.  I’ll have new progress pics up really soon.  Make your disabilities your abilities.  Transform what once broke you down and use that as fuel for your flame.  Congrats to all of those who have overcome serious obstacles in there lives to obtain athletic and physical greatness.  Continue to work hard and may this year be amazing for everyone.

Its a great morning and another day to get in a great workout.  I hope everyone has an amazing workout today.  Mornings aren’t my favorite.  But I am slowly getting back into a groove of getting up earlier and starting my day off.  The sun and the view is awesome this morning, but where I am it is still cold outside.  Train hard and efficient.  I am continuing to move one step closer to my goals and to reach legendary status.

Here at Bodybuilding.com I feel we are all part of a great team of encouraging and motivating people.  Even if its just from a few people it makes reaching the goal that much easier.  Encouraging and motivating words go so far and they can take that person who is on the edge of giving up and bring them all the way back to being a champion.  So reach out and encourage and motivate someone.  You just might be helping the next great pro athlete, pro bodybuilder, or fitness model.  Here is your amazingly powerful and motivational quote.

I had an amazing workout today and my body is feeling better and better every day.  The physique is coming along quickly, but I still have a lot of work to do.  I can’t wait until I do my workout tomorrow.   Can’t wait to dream about my workout tonight and prepare myself mentally for tomorrow.

“You can’t let praise or criticism get to you. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either one.”

“If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.”

“It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.”

“Don’t measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but what you should have accomplished with your ability.”

“Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It’s courage that counts.”

As I continue to navigate through the amazing website that is bodybuilding.com, there are truly so many amazing people here.  It just goes to show you, you can’t ever discount the heart and the drive of someone.  We all need to continue to support one another.  If your new to the site be persistent stick with it and the results will speak for themselves.  My beginning progress pics I tell I didn’t realize life had beat me up that bad.  But those days are gone and I am a man on a mission, not only to regain my physique but my athletic prowess.  The time is now.   Everyone have a great workout tomorrow!  Another powerful quote for you to use and think about while you workout.
