The gym is the one place where personal responsibility still reigns. Your maximum amount of pullups isn’t decided for you by a higher power, or because your cat hated you growing up, it’s determined by how strong and determined you are, how hard you train at it and how bad you want it. Sure others can help in your success, thru coaching, encouragement and cheering on but they don’t get you over the bar, that’s all you. I don’t want to imagine a day where I start blaming others for missing a lift and putting an asterisk in my workout log because I missed a new personal record and “it was Steve’s fault”.
So we took the class on a road trip down to the beach for Wednesday night for a little guys vs girls competition.
Strength, power, stamina, CV/CR endurance, agility, balance, accuracy... just a few physical skills brought into play to accomplish a legit wallball shot. This 10 foot, 10 Kg wallball shot brought to you by Kevin M.

Despite what you might think, you don’t get stronger at the gym. You don’t get faster on the track. These are the places where you put stress on your body to force it to either adapt or die.
Your body gets faster and stronger as it repairs the damage you did to it in your workout. If you never rest, if you workout every day, or you don’t sleep enough, when is you body supposed to repair the damage?
Short answer is never.
“But my scale is very accurate! I tested it and it’s calibrated and everything!” That’s not the accuracy I mean here, how do you know that when it says you lost 2 pounds last week (which we all know is the right amount of weight to lose in a week) that it’s 2 pounds of fat? What if it was muscle? What if it was water? Perhaps you had a high colonic and dropped 5 pounds… You can see how it’s not a very accurate measure of your progress.
