How About Some 100% Effort for the 100th Post

Since I started this bodily experiment there seems to be one common denominator.  Whether your goal is increased strength, speed, GPP or just bigger biceps and wicked abs, you know, for the ladies, the common denominator seems to be just plain, old fashioned hard work.  It’s all about busting your ass in the gym and in the kitchen.  All success starts with an internal “how much do I want this” conversation.  If you answered anything that sounds like “a lot” you’re on the right track, congratulations.  You then have to ask yourself, how hard am I willing to work for it.  You know damn well that the answer better be “One-hundred-and-fucking-ten-percent effort baby!”  That’s how this fitness game works.  Like everything else that you should do in life put your balls on the line, get out there and take care of your shit.  When you’re in the gym, focus, not on the uber-hott doing lunges or the scroate flexing his abs in the mirror (“yeah, work it”) but on that next set, that next lift or that next lap around the track.  Effort people. 

The best part about this approach is that it applies to other parts of your life as well, or at least it should.  Do you find yourself in financial trouble?  Manage your portfolio, work extra hours if you can, handle your business with credit card/college debt, start putting more away in savings but do all of these things with intent, purpose and the same 100% effort that I hope you do in the gym. 

I encourage you to find parts of your life that are lacking.  It could be your love life, your work, your education and really give all that you can.  It’s absolutely the only way that you’ll be pleased with the results because a half assed effort is weak-sauce and I don’t tolerate weak-sauce.

Where Should You Put Your Money?
