Day 8: Experienced person is a great working out partner!

So back to day 1 of the week.
Today was my chest workout day.
I hate this day because my chest is so weak and flat that I can't lift most of the weights......

What was worse was that I over slept in the morning.

So I had to go to the gym after I got off work.
What a great start of the day.

When I got to the gym it was around 6 PM, of course there was a lot of people at the gym.

I got very discouraged because I knew that I'm not going to be able to use the machines that I want to use in a timely manner.


However, surprisingly, today turned out to be a great workout day for me.


The reason was that there were a lot of people who is experienced in working out.

There was this one guy who literally looked like THIS↓↓↓ (0_0) lol

Usually you would get VERY discouraged working next to a guy like this right?

I mean c'mon.
They've been working hard and gained what you really want and are trying so hard to get.
They are better than others. Every rep that they do is amazing that all eyes goes to them.
And next to that person, here I am, with a body that's 10 times smaller, thinner, and weaker, working out struggling with small weights.

I think a lot of people would be like

"I'm just making myself looks stupid"
"I can never be like that"
"I'm trying so hard but why aren't I becoming bigger like him...."

and eventually gets discouraged and give up.

But somehow I was able to look at them differently.
I thought that they were the best living proof that IF YOU PUT YOUR MIND AND WORK INTO IT, YOU CAN BECOME HOW YOU WANT TO LOOK.


So I intentionally shared the machine and/or worked out next to the toughest person I can find.
By doing this, I put myself in a situation to fight against my limit and workout much more than I usually do.
This resulted in a better training because I kept on pushing myself to my limit.

It was tough, and I'm sure I looked stupid struggling with a small weights right next to the giants.
But it was all worth it.
Because I was trying my best to follow a the best example.

"Experienced person is the most reliable resource you can have"

Peace and God Bless.

Day 5,6: Slipping....lets get back up.

Sigh.....

So I got too tired and fell a sleep before updating this blog yesterday.

Although my training continues, I'm surprised that I can't even keep 5 days of constant posting.....

I'm busy doing a lot of stuff everyday. But that is an excuse.

However, beating myself with negative energy won't help improving myself.

So I say to myself

"Failure is a sign of trying"-anonymous

I saw this on FB wall the other day and I though it is a good perspective to see failure.

I've always told myself that "Failure is the key to success".

But I've always felt that this line is geared towards people with a failure that occurred after their intense effort. 

In contrast, the first line is more for people like me, who has just started to try something new.

Tomorrow is the beginning of a new week.

refresh my mind and soul.......and let's get back up!

Peace and God Bless.
