Stryka’s BodyBlog

The best thing about this site is that there is so many inspirational people who whether intentionally or not help me on my journey. I thought I would share some of them. Maybe they will inspire you as well.

First up is someone I don’t really know to well but if ever you think you have an excuse not to train go and check out Captain Ahab and I guarantee you that you will be in the gym faster than you can say "it must be leg day". He is a man who has achieved and overcome a lot.

Goddess Athlete has helped me as well. She posted a blog post about what her diet is which got me thinking not only about how slack I can be sometimes but where I get my nutrition sources from and why. She is incredibly ripped year round and also has some cool instructional vids on her site too. 

VT dad is one of the most encouraging people here. You have probably seen his encouraging comments on many peoples blogs with his signature "enjoy the journey and keep moving forwards". Despite temperatures that would make lesser men curl up under a blanket, VT still gets out there on the road running. He is training for a marathon and I know he is going to kick ass!

Anissa3 has had a really tough year last year but is still here fighting hard. If you read through her blog you will notice that lots of people are following her lead in things like the hydroxycut challenge.

On one of Anissa’s last post she talked about how some "more attractive people" get lots of comments on their blogs but that the people who were reaching out asking for help or encouragement miss out. This got me thinking and I set out to find more people to leave comments on their blogs (their looks were irrevelant don’t think if I left a comment on your post I thought you were or weren’t good looking   )  I don’t neccessarily believe that I know enough to add a lot of value knowledge wise but sometimes just leaving a short note letting someone know that someone has read their post can mean the world. So everyones challenge is to comment on 5 peoples blogs that you don’t know already.

I was doing this yesterday and I came across a blog under a guy called Rock23. He blew me away with his attitude to life and training and I have taken this idea from him: Treat every session like you are the world champion. Everything you do, every meal you eat, every weight you lift do it with everything you have.
