Why…?
As most of you know, I’ve been having a crisis of faith in myself, lately… Due to the progress pics I had taken, and some comments from a few other people, incuding myself… Well, last night at the gym, I continued to mull one question over and over, again… Why am I doing this…? Ego? Personal accolades? To be a “winner”? Why…? Then, just as there was a loud crash and explosion at the gym and the power went out… I got my answer… Or answers, I should say… Because I love the feeling of going to the gym, getting the pump, and sculpting the best ME that I can… So… That said, I will compete, this year, and my only competition that I care about beating is the ME from last year… I’ll worry about challenging for a top spot next year, but this year will give me another year of experience onstage… This grand epiphany was interupted by the gym staff telling me, that I had to leave, and that it was unsafe to workout in the dark… Screw ‘em!!! I still had one more set… And, I did my set and left… Knowing that I had my answers…

We do this for ourselves, nobody else.

For me I have a couple of reasons:
1- To protect myself and loved ones, It no use if I could lift 400 lb but I dont know how to fight or protect myself
2- To be able to think clearly even in the most critical condition and sitaution.
3- I dont own my body, God’s owns it so I need to take care for the thing they given to us.
4- To have no regrets when getting older and saying I wish

That’s the attitude, its you challenging yourself to be its best and making that commitment to improve your health/fitness level for a happy long life. Never quit always strive to be your best and yes it is hard work!!!!
