I haven't had any alcohol in 6 years. Don't have a problem with it, but my wife doesn't drink, so I decided not to, as well. Best decision I've ever made... alcohol never did anything for me anyway.
I have no idea what you're talking about, but if it involves someone screaming at me to get my butt in gear, sign me up. (I'm taking Danish and getting beat up mentally there, so I have that aspect covered. I just need the external "softness" dealt with.)
Are you familiar with David Goggins? Check him out on youtube or instagram. He's pretty good at delivering a motivation talking to.
I have no idea what you're talking about..)
Walter Goggins seems even more enticing!
You haven't watched Flea Bag on Amazon yet?
...All those times I don't want to train, I force myself...
Every morning I wake up, I take my pre-workout supplements, put on 3 layers of clothing, a workout beanie, put in my earbuds, and hobble over to the Garage Dojo in the pitch black dark. It's fucking freezing.
The workshop that has all my equipment is old and broken and cold. Rain leaks into the shop. Everything on my body hurts because I'm Filipino and wasn't built - genetically - for this cold weather crap.
I have an Apple Music playlist called "Mr. D's Boxing Playlist" and I start off with some Pac, Tool, DMX, or whatever is on my mind, and start off with 3, 2 minute rounds of skipping rope. Then I push.
It royally sucks and it's always cold. It takes everything in me to take that walk to the Garage Dojo because not working out would be so much better. I would much rather scroll on my phone next to a heater with my cup of coffee.
Then I recall all the martial artists that want to whoop my ass and crush me and take away my morale. I think about the man across the ring on May 22 who can physically kill me, and will do everything he can to ruin me. He is completely capable of utterly destroying me, and I am terrified of that.
So then I keep training. All those times I don't want to train, I force myself because the world is filled with people who won't do what I force myself to do. I also know there are men who are outworking me, so I must come to that level.
I like David Goggins but I've tried his method of pushing beyond ones limits no matter the cost and found that to be detrimental to me in the long haul.
Still he's pretty damn motivating and goes to show what someone can accomplish if they put their mind to it. I dont think hes for everyone though, takes a special kind of person to go through what he does.
Haha...You first! I know Berto's got a Garmin now so if he shares his 7 day summary I will too (after I go run 5 miles to get my weekly total back on track)
