Hard Training


This is what it is all about. Hard training. Nothing is easy. Plan out what you would like to do. Increase your upper body strength/power? Decrease bodyfat stores? Increase your vertical? Pick one thing to work on and put it to a plan. Then work your ass off everyday towards that short term goal. Do not get distracted by "shiny things" ( I love this analogy.....I believe I read this on a kettlebellers blog and it is right on!) - things that change direction or alter your plan. Example- you set up a 6 week cycle to increase your deadlift and by week 2 you read about some new workout program and start that before you finalize your 6 week DL cycle. This attitude will keep you spinning your wheels. Do not do it. If you want to try a new program, wait till your current cycle is complete. Check your results? Did you get the gains you were looking for? Maybe YOUR program is the right one for you, and not the latest, greatest thing.
