Here’s Why a Team Makes You Stronger

Imagine for a second that there are two gyms, they’re just across the road from one another and they have a big lifting competition coming up in 6 months.

The first gym, ‘lifting solo’, is full of men and women who love to be the strongest in the gym. As soon as someone becomes the new strongest member, everyone else loves to chase their lifts and take the crown. When one of them becomes the strongest, they treat everyone else somewhat as enemies, and hope to stay the strongest for just another workout…

On the other side of the street to ‘lifting solo’, there is another gym called ‘team lifting’……

Why do haters hate?

"Tuna salad again?! Don't you get bored? I'll never understand you fitness freaks, just eat some cake"

Damn. I thought. I'm just eating my lunch.

^^ this is an all too familiar scenario when you're dieting

People feel an innate NEED to comment on your life

Especially when you're trying to eat clean

Suddenly you become a fitness FREAK!

for some reason, people can freely comment about what you eat, how you train or how 'realistic' your goals are.


WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS


PEOPLE HATE BECAUSE YOUR POSITIVE ACTION HIGHLIGHTS A DEFICIENCY IN THEIR LIFE


PEOPLE HATE YOUR SUCCESS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRIED AND FAILED


HATE AND CRITICISM TURNS INTO ADMIRATION (THEY WILL ASK YOU FOR HELP SOON!)


EVERY GREAT CHANGE IN THE WORLD HAS FIRST RECEIVED NEGATIVITY (for example, Martin Luther King Jr and the Black Civil Rights Movement)

Stop choosing the easy way.

Many people look for the easy option.

Whether realising it or not, we all do. It's human nature.

9 times out of 10 when, it comes to fitness and nutrition, the easy option is the wrong option.

When you go for the easy way out, you get NOTHING long term.

Get Your Focus Back

So last Sunday I had a very strange feeling...

I felt sad

Honestly I don't really know why

Years ago I used to work in a bank

I hated it

And every Sunday I'd get that 'back to work ' feeling

Which, let's face it, is basically sadness.

But right now I love what I do

yet I had that same 'sunday sadness' feeling

So I wasn't sure why I felt sad and de-motivated.

there was no reason to be sad!

...then it HIT me like a ton of bricks...

There is no PLAN B...

The problem?

I never got better at anything.

BUT

When I switched from a fleeting focus

To an ABSOLUTE LASER-GUIDED focus on ONE goal

Then I transformed myself

How can you do this with your own goals?

Well, imagine how your body could change with just 6-12 months of clean eating and intense training.

6-12 months of sticking to the basics. Eating healthy stuff. Showing up to the gym when you can’t be arsed.

6-12 months of …<READ MORE>..
