When you are in your 20s you don't see the slight differences among people. You're just living it up. You're moving forward. Then, you hit your 30s and you're charging forward in your own life, so you just put your head down and work. You assume everyone is on a similar path of pushing for growth, success and strength.

How Heavy Lifting Teaches You Success
Lifting heavy is far, far more than a means to an end of getting you stronger for bigger muscles or to achieve more success in life. The guys I met 10-12 years ago told me I wouldn't be able to keep this up.

I also have a message for the naysayers.... Watch this short … [Read more...]
