Exactly ;0) lol unfortunetly for me, I think the worst has already accured so... well ok not unfortunetly, let's say fortunetly the worst has already accured. So, there's nothing else really bad that can happen to me. Thank God lol Plus, I'm a strong chick, I can handle it.

Obsessed is a word most often by those who are weak to describe the dedicated.


Goals without deadlines are nothing more than dreams.

Sorry if this one has been posted.


  1. Warm-up: foam rolling, static stretching and jumping rope (or something similar).
  2. Lift Weights: 5/3/1; keep it basic and strong.
  3. Condition: Run hills, push Prowler.
That’s it. Do this 3-4 times a week and you won’t fall into the trap of being normal. You’ll be strong, healthy and in shape. You won’t make New Year’s resolutions because you’ll be living it every day. You can eat that final piece of pie and not count carbs because you just ran 20 hill sprints for the third time this week. You can wake up and not feel like **** because you’ve actually taken the time to foam roll and stretch. You actually have some traps from deadlifting. You don’t fall for fitness trends, because you know what works. You stop caring what people say on the internet, because you’re always making progress. You’re always moving forward toward something.
People ask you how to train, and you answer, “I look at what you do, and then I do the exact opposite.”
You’ll actually be able to move because your feet will be fast from jumping rope. You won’t be out of breath all the time. You’ll be able to take on any physical activity you want. You’ll be different once you’ve spent time straining to get a rep PR in the squat or pushed a Prowler for 40 minutes. Dealing with the idiots at work or your boss will no longer be an issue. It’s hard to bring a man down after he’s had three weeks of personal records in the gym. It’s hard to get mad at the guy who cuts you off in traffic after you’ve left your lunch on top of the hill after bear crawling up it. Who cares about all that meaningless stuff? When your training and your life are moving forward, you certainly won’t.
It doesn’t take a lot to do this. You already give 8-10 hours a day to your boss and to your work. To boredom and to people and organizations that couldn’t care less about you. Then your family and friends get the rest of your time.
What about you? Do you really think so little of yourself that you can’t sacrifice an hour or two, 3-4 days a week, for yourself? This “me” time isn’t spent shopping, watching TV or getting on the internet. You’re spending it reinvesting in your body, building strength, and building character. Kicking ass and training consistently – and with some balance – will do wonders for both your body and your mind.
Get rid of all the meaningless crap in your life and your training. Get rid of the things that bleed your energy in the weight room and in life. What’s better for you? The Prowler or a stroll on the treadmill? What do you think is going to make you better?
Don’t fall for the crap that people are peddling on message boards, in magazines or on TV. Get your **** in order, and get your training in order. Start kicking ass, and take out the crap that doesn’t matter. Start doing and believing in the stuff that works, and do it today and forever. You want science and studies? **** you. I’ve got scars and blood and vomit.
This is a call to arms for some of you. It is for me, too. Stop all the things that make you a ***** and steal your energy. Get your life back.
-Jim Wendler, 5/3/1
 
^^^^ one of the best right there, get that tattoo on your back
 
Well, i suppose i could post my story, maybe someone will find it somewhat motivating. Don't mean to whine or anything. Anyways let me see, i used to be a dope fein junkie that lived at the beach, and walked 16 miles a day just to get a fix, the little money i did make i spent on drugs. The **** i've done to get high, the heights i've gone too to get a fix, and all the deep dark places mentally i've been because of my experiences have made me an overall stronger person. When you wake up one summer morning, and all u see is dirty needles laying on the even dirtier floor, and you look at yourself in the mirror and say "i am a complete ****ing waste of life, i can't think of anything good in my life, i have NOBODY and i see no reason to stay here on earth living" you feel the most dark empty loneliness a human being could possibly feel. You suddenly re-cap your life. You think about when you were a kid, the precious memories you, your brother, mom and dad had. You think about the crazy **** u did when you were a teen. How you were a wild card but never meant any harm. It's like how the **** did i go from this fun-loving teenager just trying to have a good time to this drug addict that shoved away his family and friends because this euphoric rush i got from whatever i was using at the time came first. Now im happy to say i live a happy and joyful life, with my family around. Bodybuilding is an outlet for me definitely because everytime i'm in the gym it brings me back to a good place, all i can think about is improving myself mentally, physically and emotionally. It's the type of mindstate i love to be in.

Personal fave: satisfaction doesn't build success!

If you train with a partner and he isnt going hard tell him 'if i wanted a ***** i wud hav gone to a brothel!'
 
The chorus to Til I Collapse by Eminem. Towards the end when I start to tire out, this gets me to push harder; resulting in a few people looking at me in awe when I knock out 100 dips like its nothing lol.
I LOVE DIPS.
