Yesterday a marvelous thing happened, but with this great thing came an surpassed motivation to push harder, train more intense and continue to destroy everything. First let me provide some background, I am the oldest child of 4 siblings. My brother who is now 20 began competition bodybuilding at the age of 16. As ive noted in my bio when he first competed this provided me the motivation to get off my butt and get back in the gym as he stated that I inspired him when I was in high school by my overall dedication to weight training. Yesterday our sister who is 15 came to train legs with me, as she wants to achieve more in swimming next season. So naturally this excits me because the tradition is still being passed down the line, both my dad and step mother were very much active in the gym in the late 80’s and early 90’s and have recently returned to a lifestyle focusing on clean eating and training. Anyway, I pushed her hard for a first day, no cheating yourself and she responded very well, she caught on to proper form quickly and surprisingly didn’t complain all that much. The workout is over and my buddy and I are gonna practice posing, begin the motivation… She asks me why were going to pose, I say "for competition, gotta practice" she starts laughing and asks if im serious. WTF. I ask how come no one laughed at our brother when he competed, she says, "well you’ve always just been bigger than him." meaning FAT… Blood pressure rising, "well if he so dam built how come he didn’t come train with you? How come you asked me to train you?" No response… Exactly why? Because he doesn’t train anymore, he quit and there is no sign of him coming back anytime soon. I bust my ass, and this is the crap I get… Get up after only 4 hours of sleep on my day off so I can train her and she is gonna dis me like that. Come May 3rd she will see, they all will see. In two attempts for my brother no hardware was brought home, May 3rd I bring some home… This has turned into a family matter now, BLOOD of my BLOOD rivalry.
