No Pain No Pain

Throughout my life I’ve had many goals, dreams, ambitions, aspirations, motivations, etc. Some come and go, but others have stuck with me for life. When I was 5 years old I wanted to be a trash man because I thought it was cool that the guys got to ride on the back of the truck. [...]

Disclaimer: If you are sensitive or get your feelings hurt easily you may want to skip this one. If you know me personally you know that I am a completely different person inside the gym than I am outside of the gym. In “real life” I am a laid back, joke cracking, friendly, chilled out [...]

What’s holding you back from achieving that goal you want to reach… From living the life you want to live… What’s holding you back from realizing your true greatness… …and from being f*ckin awesome.
