Branch



Many of you out there aren't bodybuilding fans, but I have always followed it.

Well, there were a few years where I didn't, I was lost in the wilderness somewhere.

Anyway, the Olympia is coming up, and I am pretty interested in it this year. Some great bodybuilders vying for the title. I really like Branch Warren, especially because he trains like a MADMAN. I have never seen anybody train like that in my life. Sloppy, yes, but who cares? It is fascinating to watch.  He has maximized every ounce of genetics that he has, just squeezed every last sweat drop onto the gym floor to reach his potential. It is easy to discount those guys, but man, it takes an incredible amount of dedication to be a bodybuilder.

 Here is a short clip of Branch Warren:

All About Being a Lifer

What's a Lifer? Someone who isn't in to something for just a day, a month, a year...it's for life. Whether its training or your family or your job...it doesn't matter. You work at it, you build on it, you see the big picture . You don't miss workouts because it means something to you. You are like a Shakespearean actor- no matter what is going on in your life, you block it out when it's time to train. You walk into the weight room and all else disappears. Worry about it later.
