It’s said a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. What they fail to mention is that you have to keep making step after step, over hills, out of holes, in the rain, in the scorching sun, covers in dust and slogging through mud. Sometimes you just want to stop where you are at because it’s comfortable and the view is pretty. However if you want to finish that journey you got to keep going. Sometimes the reason for the journey changes, the destination becomes somewhere new because of the experiences you have encountered. Keep going, because it is all about the journey. #gymthoughts #morningmusings #ineednewshoes https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJHNVyg0xL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pqsd69q5ved5

there's something oddly poetic about the way creatine works.

it doesn't give you anything new. it doesn't add muscle from thin air or inject energy out of nowhere. what it does is restore something your body was already trying to make — ATP. the fuel that fires every explosive movement. every heavy pull. every sprint that should have broken you but didn't. you're not enhancing yourself. you're just finally running at the capacity you were always capable of. i think about that sometimes in the gym. the idea that the ceiling wasn't as low as i thought. i was just working with a half-empty tank. one scoop. unflavoured. mixed into whatever you're already drinking. no drama, no ritual. just fuel — quiet and consistent and real. if you've been training hard and not seeing the numbers move, maybe it's not your program. maybe it's not your discipline. maybe your muscles just need a little more to work with. worth thinking about.

I want to go to the gym but I’m too lazy. The ambition is there, somewhere under a thick blanket of inertia. Maybe tomorrow I’ll be stronger. Or maybe I’ll just keep romanticizing the idea of discipline without ever touching it.

150lbs for a 5x3, followed by Larsens. Hadn't hit over my bodyweight in several months; nice not having elbow inflammation going into it. Many thanks to @dell_grant33 for the spot on the last two sets. Kept slipping and was sorely tempted to remove the shirt to plant myself better. Glad he kept that from happening. #gymthoughts #gymtherapy #gymlife #liftingweights #liftingthoughts #justlift #fitness #fitfam #fit #bench #benchpress #povertybench #povertybenchboiz #anytimefitness #anytimefitnessruston #neversatisfied #neverstrongenough #nerdjock #nerd (at Anytime Fitness Ruston) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chp0Nz4gudS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

5x5... 2 at 135, 2 at 140, and a failed set at 145. Last went bad; felt a sciatic twinge (a shake in the second rep), and well... thems the breaks. Followed with Larsens. Many thanks to @philfrederiksen for the lift off. #gymthoughts #gymtherapy #gymlife #liftingweights #liftingthoughts #justlift #fitness #fitfam #fit #bench #benchpress #povertybench #povertybenchboiz #anytimefitness #anytimefitnessruston #neversatisfied #neverstrongenough #nerdjock #nerdm (at Anytime Fitness Ruston) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChX0UkdJoTI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

3 weeks ago, I was hit by a stomach virus that caused me to drop several pounds. What supposed progress I was making decided to go by the wayside. I was surprised 135 moved the way it did. No Larsen Press; after benching my elbows and shoulder feel beat up. #gymthoughts #gymtherapy #gymlife #liftingweights #liftingthoughts #justlift #fitness #fitfam #fit #bench #benchpress #povertybench #povertybenchboiz #anytimefitness #anytimefitnessruston #neversatisfied #neverstrongenough #nerdjock #nerdm https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzujG5gDvR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

5x5 at 145lbs, followed by a 5x10 at varied weight for Larsens. Starting to feel some inflammation in my elbows, but I'll live. I also need more sleep. A thank you to @latech_ninja for the spot on the recorded set. I'm running on fumes. #gymthoughts #gymtherapy #gymlife #liftingweights #liftingthoughts #justlift #fitness #fitfam #fit #bench #benchpress #povertybench #povertybenchboiz #larsenpress #anytimefitness #anytimefitnessruston #neversatisfied #neverstrongenough #nerdjock #nerdm (at Anytime Fitness Ruston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgPwqHcgejX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
