Kris here.
Now that there are actually some posts going up here. I realize its going to be a little cluttered with two people writing intermittently about different topics. We’re working on a solution to this now. Still trying to work the bugs out of this whole thing really.
Now, as far as the title goes, I made it that to make a point. We are bombarded by thousands of messages everyday. BEcause you can't possibly process all the information that's thrown at you day in and day out, your amazing brain tends to filter out most of it. This is good by most accounts as the majority of the messages out there arguably are better off not in your head but an unfortunate side effect is that it also filters out the stuff you should keep. Its gotten to the point in most of our lives that even the healthier messages like you need to workout, sleep better, eat right, manage your stress, seem to have just become more noise. We know we need to listen to it but we hear it so much that even the idea of these things has lost its power. Its beating a dead horse to tell almost anyone anything anymore.
At the end of this post I make one point. Its not new, its not revolutionary. Its something you already know but I don't want you to skim over it. Read it. Beat it into your brain. Beat that dead horse until it means something again!
Got in an awesome arm workout today. I walked into the locker room looking more jacked than I think I ever have. I’m telling you, I’m stunned by the progress I’ve made in the last two weeks. I’m by no means a big guy but I can tell you my shoulders are getting broader and thicker, my chest is getting meatier, I’m starting to see my abs come out, and jeans are being held up just fine without a belt!
They say the first month is where you see the most progress and I have always agreed. I remember the progress I made the first time around. However, I’m not a beginner. This isn’t my first time around the block. What I am new at again though is just giving it my all. And if I were to be completely honest with myself, I’m probably giving it about 90%. What’s amazing is that the progress I’m making with just renewed effort is that of a total beginner picking up his first dumbbell!
I wanted to kind of hit that last point home because its important! Even if you train all the time, if you are getting complacent and half-assing it, not only are you not benefitting as much as you could be, but you probably have an entire new body underneath it all that’s just waiting to show you what it can do if you would just push a little harder. Just get in those last 2 reps, eat that one extra meal, make those rest periods just a little more honest. Just do it and see what I mean. It’s truly incredible the things we can accomplish when we give it our all!
Train hard,
Kris
