Donny Shankle says exactly what you need to hear

It's my hope, that through this blog, that I will inspire you to do something you didn't think you could do. I have no doubt that in this process you will get to a point of frustration that will make you question yourself.

When that happens you need a push. It will either be internal, from somewhere deep inside of you, or external, from someone you trust/look up to. I'm no stranger to injuries/setbacks, and I've had to pull from within as well as surround myself with awesome friends/mentors to support my goals and dreams.

This gem comes from an accountability buddy, Gordon aka Donkey Quads, and it came at just the right time. He has a knack for that.

It's by Donny Shankle, an Olympic weightlifting champ, about the tweaks and nagging pains we get on our paths to excellence. Read, and please comment on his blog or on mine if this is exactly what you needed to hear.

Ben is a C word....

Ya know, a Consistent person.

Ben trains at my gym and crushes his training like nobody's business! He sets goals and meets them. He competes and wins.

I believe that the foundation of his accomplishments is in his Consistency. His regularity at the gym is spot on, whether it be in CrossFit classes, Olympic Lifting club, or coming in to train solo. And that creates results.

Here is Ben doing some mobility work on a problem area. This moment stood out to me because I see Ben doing this stretch before every training session!

What are your goals? What will it take to reach them, and what are you willing to do over and over to solidify your success?

Train hard, train smart, and enjoy your journey!
