How terrifying must it be for an underdog to battle a no mercy, all powerful champion? Terrifying enough for you to work day in and day out so you can control the outcome. You must keep working until you believe that you have the power to win.

One of the biggest downfalls of human nature is comparison. We look at others and see things that we lust for and want as opposed to appreciating the things we have and have earned through our very own trials and tribulations.

Goals are key factors that should keep you driven in and out the weight room. Goals keep your mindset focused and set up a firm foundation to build on. Setting goals for oneself gives us the room to grow and to be better or to put ourselves in a better position.
