It's January now, and you know what that means. The gym is packed. I'm talking to the brim every hour of the day. And that means more weight lifting gloves.
It really tests your mental toughness to stay focused on each set/rep. With it being so full it's easy to get distracted and just go through the motions. People talking/yelling, leaving shit in the squat rack, and mingling. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm a Scrooge in there but there's a happy medium. Even the reps that suck a little bit more than others. Concentrate on what you're doing and not on what other people are doing. Get your work done. Get better, and leave a bad ass. And contrary to popular belief flexing in the mirror is not bad ass. You know who was a bad ass, Rocky, in all six films, but especially in IV. For your viewing pleasure. Spoiler alert, Rocky beats the Russian. Get outside and train once in a while too.
Who are when no one is watching? How do you train? With the same intensity and passion? You need passion to be successful. With passion comes enthusiasm and life domination. It's up to you to make it happen. Move often and kick ass everyday. Whether the machines are full or not you still need to push yourself on the squat rack. It's your life. Take control.
