Your Mind Is Your Worst Enemy

Your mind is and will always be your worst enemy both in the gym and in life.  With it's over protective nature it will have you feeling and therefore believe you can't lift as much as you really can or do as many repetitions as you can.  That's because it doesn't want any harm to come to your body.  However you need to push past the limitations your mind places on your body in order to achieve real results.  I've said this before and I'll say it again, if you have workout partners utilize them and push yourself beyond your limitations.  Lift heavy, your workout partners won't allow you do drop a weight on yourself.  Go for that extra rep, your workout partners will spot you as needed.  Push your body a little harder/further and it will blow your mind.  Ever lifted something you had no idea you could lift?  That feeling you get from doing it is your mind coming to terms with what just happened, realizing that the limiters it placed on you are far greater that what is needed.

conquer your mind and you are sure to succeed.

good luck with all your fitness and life goals ~ http://www.avadeanlewis.com

*good-bye* Daddy

One night a father put his three-year-old daughter to bed, told Her a story, sat and listened to her prayers, which she ended by saying: "God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless Grandma, and *goodbye* "Grandpa." Ah why yuh a say *good-bye* Grandpa'"fah? the father asked. "Mi noh know" the little girl said. The next day, Grandpa died. The man thought it was a strange coincidence. A few months later, he put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers, which went like this: "God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy And *good-bye* Grandma." The next day, the grandmother died! "Rahtid, thought the man, dis yah pickne can see inna de future." Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed, the man heard her say "God bless Mommy! and * good-bye* Daddy." The man practically went into shock. He couldn't sleep all night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office. He was nervous all day. He figured if he could get by until midnight he would be OK He felt safe in the office, so he stayed until the end of the day, looking at his watch jumping at every sound. Finally, he went home and is wife asked... What happen?" "Mi no waan talk bout it," he said."Mi jus 'ave de worst day in ah mi life." "Yuh tink yuh had a bad day?" the wife exclaimed.  "You'll neva believe wha happen' Dis mahnin', Desmond next door, drapp dead pan de verandah."

Love

“We have this idea that love is supposed to last forever.  But love isn’t like that.  It’s a free-flowing energy that comes and goes when it pleases.  Sometimes it stays for life; other times it stays for a second, a day, a month, or a year.  So don’t fear love when it comes simply because it makes you vulnerable.  But don’t be surprised when it leaves, either.  Just be glad you had the opportunity to experience it.”

The Importance Of A Team

It's true no man is an island so it's important to have a team behind you.

A team is only as strong as it's weakest link.  So when you look at my team you'll see no weakness.  We all know that if one person is weak, the team is weak so we take the time to build each other up.  You have to focus on everyones strength and be mindful of there weaknesses.  The key is positivity.

I've never been alone and I don't believe I'd have the success I have if I were.  In the gym my workout partners push me far beyond the point I'd push myself.  It's easy to say fuck it and just give up but with a team like mine that's just not an option.  They just don't let you and that is important and beneficial.  This isn't just in the gym this in life.

So if your failing I suggest you surround yourself with strong positive people.
