That is my mentality about building a better body.I leave no muscle or body part untrained.Just like I hit chest so must my forearms,calves,neck,and abs go.Every body part is just as important as the other.No shortcuts and no "i’ll do those tommorrow".Solid training and proper form ,no excuses.When it is all said and done the results speak for themselves.I have an entire lifetime ahead of me and this journey isn’t going to take me anywhere unless i put one foot in front of the other.So it is time to get going.

Get psyched up on your way to the gym.When you enter it’s like hitting a switch.A switch that turns you from human to a beast.Go straight to the appropriate spot where you will be performing your workout.Grab the weights and pound out those reps.Feel your muscles getting swollen by the minute.Use weights that only a select few will be able to handle properly.Take as much time as necessary to accomplish what you are in there for.Talk to no one unless it’s very important.Remember this is your world and everyone else is just a stranger.When your muscles are so pumped and tired and you feel like they want to burst,go for those extra reps.When you finish rack up your weights and head for the door.Once you exit and get in your vehicle,you can now look in your rearview mirror,you can now be human agian.Next time you enter the gym,those who saw you last time,will immediately clear your area.That is because you are an animal to them,and you have marked your territory.

There is no doubt that my strength has already jumped.The weight i once had trouble with is no longer heavy. This is my year.I have great expectations and I plan on accomplishing everything I put my mind to.This is the reason I love doing what I do.The mind controls the body,and right now my mind is telling it to grow.

One week into this and I’m already feeling it.Everything just falls back into place,this is why I love doing this.The "pain" is defintely worth it.No more excuses,the time has come to let it all out.Today is leg day for me,all I can say is bring it.

I did back and shoulders today.I hit it hard and intense.I did more pullups than usual,that was a good sign.I also threw in a couple of different exercises.Great things are about to happen,i can feel it.I look forward to the next workout.This journey keeps getting better,i see no end in sight.I feel like a new man,"reborn".

Only a few days back into my training and everything is great.My energy levels are up,my strength is there,it’s all coming together.By next week I look forward to seeing some positive changes both in strength and physique.Patience and hardwork will pay off,no doubt.

Day two on my journey back from a time out.I can defintrly feel the power once again returning to me.Great pumps and almost no strength loss.Once again I will go all out and leave nothing out.Time for another "growth spurt".I plan on making this my best year yet.This indeed is a lifelong journey and I vow to do so till father time alows me.Once again the spirit of the Iron Warrior has possessed me.The Gods of Iron have called me and I have responded.I will succeed ,there is no doubt.This is my life,this is who I am.

As i said today would be my day back to lifting.So it is written, so it shall come to pass.Im pumped and ready for it.Time to tear a new one into the gym.Enough said ,lets do this!

Tommorrow will be my last day from a "break".I have lots of stored energy and I’m hungry.So I have chosen Sunday to be my first day back into training.Once again I will continue this long and neverending journey.It feels like i’ve been off from training forever.What will it be?Legs?Chest?Arms?Back?I’m not sure but whatever I decide its going to be intense.Come Sunday i will unleash the beast.Those weights will be nothing as I enter the realm of The Iron Warrior.So as I prepare myself to accomplish what others once told me I could never do,I embrace whatever comes at me.I look forward to seeing the radical changes that will occur.Nothing can stop me now and the fire that burns deep within me is in a rage.I will say no more and let my training speak for itself.I am the Iron Warrior who has come to fullfill his destiny.Now brothers and sisters of iron ,I will once again be on my way.This is the life I have chosen and I intend to keep it that way.Live life to the fullest and don’t hesitate to reach for what you really desire.

Yesterday was a pretty tough day for me.I did as a friend recommended.On the treadmill I did 8 mph for 5 min then down to 7mph for 5 more minutes.Rest for 1 1/2 minutes then repeat.I did this  4 times.Then we hit the bag,3 minutes non stop and rest for 1 minute.Again for 4 sets.We finished with some grappling .Our goal is to build endurance.i’m still not back to lifting ,but the pain is just around the corner.I will go back into it hardcore.
