"The barbell teaches you a different lesson. The barbell holds the opportunities of getting stronger, change your body, and build resolve. BUT (and this is the important part) the barbell doesn't give a shit about you.
You pick it up and it gives you positive, life-changing results, or you don't, and gives you NOTHING. The barbell doesn't care one way or another. It looks you right in the face and says, "This is going to be hard and it is going to take a lot of work, but the pay-off is going to be awesome. Take it or leave it"
In today's society, it's a lesson many need to learn. Life is a barbell! The opportunities are right there. You simply need to pick them up and start GRINDING.
It's all on you.
It has always been.
It will always be."
