Had a conversation with somebody today... they said they didn't want to do strength training because they didn't want to be big and bulky and that they didn't "need" to do it. Most people believe strength training will automatically make you big and bulky like a bodybuilder. That's not true. To be like them, you need to train in a specific manner like them. You must eat a certain amount of calories and this must happen for a very long time for you to get to that size.

It’s a surreal feeling when you get a glimpse of the ‘Future You’. It’s a short video, a quick photo someone takes, or an observation someone makes. They always come at unexpected times.

That happened to me today. I was training w/ my lifting partner & other trainer in the studio, and she looked at me and said, “OMG you look HUGE right now!” and snapped a picture. It’s a running joke that we both want to be massive but one of my actual goals is to be about 180lbs of just solid ass muscle. I’m not there yet but every now and then I see the end goal in the far part of the tunnel.
