Tuesday


Another really great "ugly face" from JP

Another great article from our friends at Again Faster:
"In the bottom of a clean, quads burning, you'll want to quit. Pulling deadlifts, the skin on your hands tearing, you'll want to quit. Your body protesting, crying for relief as your veins pump waste, you'll want to quit.Your mind will scream from its high perch, commanding you to stop, lest you break, crash, and burn. Feeling the outer limits of your capabilities, it will hit every physical and emotional alarm in the arsenal, rocketing pain, misery, and doubt into your thoughts.It would be easy to give in to the hot rush of your brain's emergency brake. To drop the bar. To get off the rings. To let your knees collapse as panic breaths heave through your chest.
Don't. Superhuman performance is separated from mere fitness by the undeniable need to persist, to never give up. Those who achieve are resilient. Standing when you want to fall, punching when you want to tap out, and running when you want to walk are the necessities of elite athleticism..." continue http://www.againfaster.com/articles/dont-quit.html
