Hardcore Life....

Entry #4

Humble beginnings.
We often find ourselves caught up in a moment of reflection. A form of deliberation within the confides of ones mind, A comparison of such.
Almost as if standing in the middle of two mirrors, examing endless reflections of ones self. Only this time, each image is different. The harder you stare the more prominent the figures become. A likeness of yourself from years long since repressed. Caught up in a reverie of sorts... you see visions of the beginning of your journey. You recall your first gut wrenching moments in the weight room.
Those first few emotions of unbridled enthusiasm and a reckless spirit have led you down this road. At that time, you would have never realized you had just chosen a new life path.
You've matured, day after day, week after week, growing into the person you are today. Using each moment to gain, and to build upon years past. Every great monument starts with a sturdy foundation; we must remember where ours came from. Each year we are harder on ourselves and our goals are more specific, that’s the only way to survive in this game.

I will never allow myself to be satisfied and I will never forget who I was, because that alone will determine who I become.

When you think you have nothing left.

That last rep, you know the one.
Long after your muscles have failed, your last drop of that "commercial" energy drink is gone, your tired, out of breath and about to rack the weight.
You need a friendly reminder, your about to compromise your workout. So don't tap out just yet. You still have one more weapon in your arsenal. The most powerful of all muscles... the mind.
'Bino looks me dead in the eyes and he makes a single statement...YOU WILL DO ONE MORE REP YOU F*CKING PUSSY. '
The words emanate out of his mouth straight to my mind, as my adrenaline surges my eyes re-focus, and become emotionless. Glaring beyond the walls of the gym, staring straight into the face of every bad memory i have ever had. Bino stared right back knowing full well he had just poured 10 tonnes of gasoline onto a dull spark.
'wait a minute did he just call me a f*cking pussy?'....

That day I wouldn't do one more rep.... instead, I did two.

I am better than you

I do eat 7 meals a day
I do turn heads
I do use free weights
I do spend my free time gaining more knowledge
I do bring tupperware everywhere I go
I am better than you

I do wear the barcode off my gym pass
I do wear XXL shirts
I do stay up late to eat one more meal
I do have scheduled meals; hungry or not
I do my sets until failure
I am better than you

I do draw my own crowd
I do eat to grow
I do get up early for my morning cardio
I do live for my workouts
I do cook my food the day before

I am better than you,
And I always will be.

Not welcome in my Home

Its more then a weight room, its a sanctuary. A place to rebuild the framework of your life.
All day long they tear away at you. Threatening to pick apart all the dreams and aspirations you have so desperately worked towards.
"I want this report on my desk by 8 am"...."Sweetie can't you just skip the gym this once and watch a movie with me"...." Yo lets hit the club, pick-up some chicks"...."Bro you wanna grab a slice?"...
But not when you are home, a place of refuge, their nothing can hurt you.
In the weight room sure you have battles, but none that leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Those iron plates will never turn their back on you, day in and day out they remain strong and loyal to the cause. They take away your pain and give you strength, yet they ask nothing in return.
Even when life beats the sh*t out of you, we can leave it all on the gym floor.

Home is where we live, and I know damn well that they are not welcome in my F**cking home!

Entry #8

Those sad, weak 'Normal people'.

Today I sat through a barrage of torture and punishment.
I'm still sitting here shaking my head at myself with utter disgust, having allowed myself
to accept or even condone this behavior. No this didn't take place in a boxing ring, a battle field
or even a lecture hall. The setting was in the confides of my lunchroom at work, the characters were all ignorant and the plot was a lot like running your nails down a chalk board.
I found myself thrust square in the middle of a conversation about working out, the killer is who was taking part in the conversation.......'normal people'.
I sat through comments such as " I never have time to workout " ... "Yo man you don't even understand how much I eat, and I just don't get bigger "..."Its hard for me to loose weight because of my metabolism"..." I don't know why you do that to yourself, food is there to be enjoyed ."
I tried to repeat to myself that ignorance is indeed bliss. Truth be told I wanted to blast everyone of them, for each one of there comments I had ten waiting in the wings to unload. "Your weak, hell even borderline pathetic, how can you even live with yourselves? When you look in the mirror are you truly satisfied? I mean have you reached the pinnacle of success in your mind, for that matter how do you judge success? "
Then I take a step back, I realize I need to see the bigger picture here, a calm comes over me, I'm actually thank-full for these 'normal people'. For it is because of these people I strive to be exceptional.
This is not the life for everyone, its full of strife and struggle, there are few and far between that will actually survive, for the rest.......your relegated to a 'normal life'.

[STYLE74]

Great!!!!!
