Every rep is a battle. If I lose a battle, I learn, adapt, and conquer during the next work out. This may seem a bit dramatic (and maybe even a little psychotic), but it works for me. :dumbbell: -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"

It is a great read I recommed it. There are some very motivating stories there.

But definitly, the mirrors, they are a good idea, if you have flaws, they won't let you hide from them...ever. -------------- She sits and wonders why.....no more.

I set them just out of reach, but seeing them everyday forces me to achieve them. -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.
