Poker or Chase the Dream?

I was at a coffee shop one day and the guy working there saw my Underground shirt on. He told me he saw us on you tube, heard about us, saw us in the paper.

He told me he was trying out for the nearby minor league Baseball team, but he never made the cut the year before. He was a skinny dude, no doubt, so, I asked him, what are you doing now to change that?

He told me he was working out. He then asked what it takes to become a member and I told him about our trial workout. I told him to stop by after his shift and we'll set him up with a trial date.

He told me tonight was no good, he had a poker game to attend to.

The story continues.....

I received a call from a guy prepping for his first MMA fight. I told him about the trial, the intensity required to make it here. We spoke about his current regimen, and he stated he was not training the way he needed to for MMA outside of his MMA club.

He was ready to rock! He was preparing to bang heads. He set up his trial session and I told him, "Give us a 24 hr. notice if you decide not to do it, need to R/S, etc."

His response was an aggressive way of telling me that there was no way in hell he was gonna miss this.

Guess who never showed up and who never called. Can we guess who was at risk for getting his teeth knocked out, gassing out too early and getting choked out, losing strength and stamina too easily and getting ground n' pounded into submission.....

This reminds me of the poem above the squat rack at the old Diamond Gym...

There are those that do

and those that don't

Those that will

and those that won't

It makes me wonder, which one are you? Will you or won't you?

Life has a top 5%.

The top 5% will.

Now it's up to you.

In Strength,
