What pushes me
Simple…… you push me. I am competitive and I want to beat you.
You push me when I see your profile and you have better abs than I do. You push me when I read your diet and I see that you are working harder than me. I can’t have that. I want this more.
You push me to when I see you improving, If I don’t fight harder then you will beat me and I can’t have that!
You push me when I see you in the gym lifting me than I can. I must work harder. I want this more.
You push me when you run faster than I can, I can’t have that, I must run more and train harder, I will be quicker than you.
If you are ahead of me, then you better work harder because I have you in my sights and I am working harder.
If you are behind me, then I know you are there, breathing down my neck, but I am still working harder.
Don’t get me wrong I love it when I see you achieving your goals too and I will do whatever I can to help you get there……..
But I am still going to beat you.

Your effort inspires me. If we were to race, I’d race you with every ounce and fiber of my body, but ultimately my biggest competition is with myself. It’s my bad habbits I have to break. It’s my fears I have to challenge. It’s my goals I’m trying to reach. I hope to keep moving forwards and enjoy the journey. I’m not afraid of some competition, I relish the challenge. But ultimately I have to answer to myself, did I leave it all on the line. Thanks, for the thought provoking blog.

Ok hero.. You’re on… Time for you to kick it into high gear on the bench. And while you’re trying to catch up to me I’ll be working hard to catch you on squats, deads, and rows…..

Sounds good Jeff, chest is tomorrow. I will be thinking of your 150Kg every rep.
January 14, 2009 at 2:46 am
Although I do have to admit Jeff that the squats is the bodyspace calculation of my one rep max. The most I have ever squatted is down at 165kg but for about 6 reps i think.

Yeah, but the last time I was doing squats it was somewhere between 100kg and 110kg, and I’ve never done deads, so I’ve got some serious work in front of me… So I think you’ve got some breathing room Ryan.
