I had another terrific workout yesterday (chest & triceps). Like Monday’s workout, I cranked up the music about 10 minutes before I started my warm-up sets. The music helped get me fired up and ready to lift hard! Once the pump and adrenaline rush took over, I felt incredible.

I may have have gotten off to a rough start this month, but I pulled it together and didn’t wallow in my failures. Never let a few mistakes or setbacks get you down. You can’t change the past, but you still have control over what you chose to do today. The longer you wait, the harder it is to get back on track. I know from your emails and PMs that quite a few of you are going through what I went through earlier this month: too many cheat meals, missing workouts, feeling overwhelmed… If you are still struggling, then I strongly encourage you to make today the day you set things straight again. No excuses, just buckle down and do what you have to do in order to make it happen. Consider the alternative: each day you wait makes it easier to put it off for yet another day. Those wasted days have a nasty habit of turning into wasted months, and you know it.
