The ONLY Rule: There are NO Rules
When I first began trianing my dungeon garage my only rule was, "There are NO Rules." I was tired of being confined to routine and rules when I was training in a commercial gym setting. I have learned that there is no 1 tool or 1 way to make things happen - there are many ways. On the flip side, there are ways that are much better than others. But if all you do is follow the rules, you will not exceed your boundaries or the limitations people tell you about. Break the rules and start … [Read more...]
