Sounds good? Then let's get started shall we?
Your daily dose of motivation!
"It's not what happens to you but how you react to it that matters."- Epictetus
Any situation can be either positive or negative, it just depends on how you react and adapt.
Now take a quick 5 minutes of your day to give this video a listen. If you keep telling yourself "I'm going to make it" you'll make it. Yeah, it's that simple.
Workout of the Week
Forearms Shredder
Building aesthetic forearms is a crucial part of your training journey. In fact, the forearms are one of the only muscles others can really see when you’re wearing a T-Shirt, a polo, etc. That said, it might be hard for you to grow them, so let us help you out:
Disclaimer: We know this workout is kinda short, but you can always incorporate these exercises into your arm workout. It's a short one, but if you do it right and consistently, you'll see results.
Warm-up
Do circles with your wrists for about 30s to warm them up. We don't want them getting stiff during our sets.
Section one
15 reps of barbell wrist curls behind the back
12 reps of overhand EZ bar bicep curls (focus on feeling the exercise in your forearms)
10 reps of barbell wrist extension
2 min rest
Repeat 3 times
Section two
12 reps of across the body hammer curls with a focus on the forearms
1 min rest
15sec of on handed bar hang (each arm)
2 min rest
Repeat 3 times
Now Let's get to Work!
Lateral Walk With Band
This glute exercise is perfect if your gym is crowded. You only need an elastic band and a few meters to do it. It’s pretty simple, you just walk sideways and activate those glutes!
Daily Self Growth Tip:
Develop Empathy:
Develop empathy by trying to understand other people's perspectives. In some situations, understanding what other people are saying and taking action accordingly to their sayings is a great feature. If you find yourself blocked in a situation, other perspectives might be useful…
Workout song of the day: French Drill 7 by Saamou Skuu & ASHE 22
The drill is always a good vibe for the gym. A bit of exotic is always appreciated, just like the french lyrics in this song. There’s something satisfying about vibing to a song you don’t understand a single lyric to. Listen and vibe hard!

There's always another mountain to climb.
The game never ends.
As you keep playing, you discover new levels you didn't even know existed.
The beauty of the game is to keep playing.
Forever.
