EXCUSES.  There are none. If you break your hand, you work around it.

You have to adapt and thrive under adversity. Overcoming difficulties build confidence. Knowing - not thinking or wishing or hoping - you can overcome what life throws at you is the essences of confidence. Getting up one more time than you fall.

Anyone can train under optimal conditions. Any one can stay snuggly in their comfort zones. Anyone can go to their favorite bar and platform and perform. How about when the bar sucks, the ground is uneven and you have to perform? Character is developed by such adversity.  Adapted from Hyperfit USA

when you want something, when you can't live without it, you make it happen.

having knee surgery was devastating at at time when i was more motivated to train than ever before in my life.

you just get your ass in the box and basically make your coaches scale and adapt every single day to what you can do.

they love it because they learn, you love it because you never stop doing what you love.

win.
