Thats the Seal Moto! I have trained in the teams...and lived a pretty exciting life when I was younger.... but he exciting thing is this! even at 41...I still get to do the mind battle... like today... I wanted to stop with 55 lbs Dumbbell Curls.... but I pushed on to 65 lbs. After 6 sets of double douch (thats what I call doing 10 reps each arm..then 10 more reps each arm without resting for one set) I was pumped pretty good...felt great to get in the extra! Keep on keepin! Real Men Have Mass! THe Only easy day….Was yesterday! Thats the Seal Moto!

That body your chasing is definitely yours. No, I didn't get enough sleep last night. I stayed up till midnight cause I saw that one comedian on your videos and next thing I know Im watching a lot of his clips and I keep thinking, 'Eh, one more video wont hurt...' You seen his Walkie Talkie piece? Haha, HILARIOUS! Oh well, I brought this upon myself, so I'll just suck it up and try not to drag today... One thing about military training, no matter what branch, is that the actual training portion (besides basic training) is WAY more insane than the real world. And the reason is just to be over prepared. Deployments are hardly ever as intense as the training, and Im sure it crosses many soldiers minds, 'Why the HELL did they put us though that!'. Not saying that crazy stuff never happens, but at least we know we'll be able to endure it. The only thing they can't prepare one for is those DAMN sandstorms! okay, Im done. Tackle them 20 pounders full strength today! Wow, you really hittin it hard! That body your chasing is definitely yours.

Most men's egos push them past their comfort zone just to hit the "numbers" they see the big guys do. But for a lot of women they have spent so much time making fun of the people actually pushing themselves hard enough to require a little grunt hear or there, or to mentally jack themselves up to the point of tossing a weight or two that it is a task in itself to get them close to that point. The body really can take more than most people think it can. A really good example of that would be the difference in how you held and cared for your first child vs. your last. The first one you didn't let anybody touch and you craddled close to your body at all times...by the time that last sucker came in the world you're floppin it all over the place! LOL And like, "You want to babysit??!!! Great!! I got a just in case bag in the trunk!!" LMAO That is one of the largest battles when training women.
