This way, when you finally get to 500, it s only 10 or 15 pounds above your previous record. Now, you have past successes to add to your sense of perspective, which should boost your confidence even more. The next 10 pounds will be conquered in much the same way. Hard work and patience will prevail, but you must understand the big picture to make this possible. I ll admit that you can t go on forever like this.
Time is the one battle no man really wins.
But, you have many years in which to build. In fact, it is my firm belief that you ll run out of desire before you run out of time. Eventually, you ll have had enough, and hopefully then you ll pass on some of your knowledge to a wide-eyed beginner. But you re not there yet so march your tail over to that squat rack, load up some weight, and start huffing like a steam engine. Ignore them and you are likely to burn out quickly and suffer a frustrating exit from the Iron Game.
