Be grateful for your body. Be grateful for the ability to move and achieve success in fitness.
There are so many people that don’t have the ability to move like you do. Can you imagine that feeling? I know I’d go crazy. When I take the time to reflect on life, this comes up often. I see people that have issues with their body’s and cannot help but feel incredibly grateful that I’m not in their position. It’s a blessing to be able to exercise and live a healthy lifestyle.
Appreciate what you have and take pride in your body. It’s the only body you’ve got👊
That time when I attempted to complete 160kg squat for 3 reps, as part of my strength phase 🔥
Working up to this weight took me AGES, something like 5 years. The truth is that strength is developed over a long period of time (unless you’re juicing). You can’t expect to just get strong instantly. It’s all about the long term goal
The path to gaining strength isn’t linear, it’s more like a sin graph or a volatile market. It goes up and down and up and down. Some days I feel like a beast and can move an incredible amount of weight (for me😉). Some days I feel like I can’t even lift my warmup properly. I think it’s best to take your time, clean up your form and make sure that you are reaching enough training stimulus in conjunction with enough REST. Achieving strength gains is totally different to achieving muscle size gains. Your central nervous system is hit extremely hard when you’re moving weight for under 6 reps per set. That’s why it’s crucial to make sure you’re achieving a good balance between rest and training. If you don’t, you’ll find yourself getting weaker and hating every second of training. AVOID THAT☝️ it’s happened to a few great lifters I know, and it really destroys you mentally.
So, take the time to reach your goals. Keep your form as close to perfect as possible to avoid injuries and continue training at a constant rate. Work extremely hard each set and then REST. Getting the correct balance is the 🔑 to your success.

CACAO vs. COCOA 🍫
What is the difference??🤔
Cacao is produced as a seed/bean from a small tropical tree known as the American evergreen tree 🌲 it is essentially the RAW form of cocoa☝️
Cacao is abundant in nutrients and offers a wide range of benefits regarding your health, when consumed in raw form. It is loaded with antioxidants and healthy nutrients, and also lowers blood pressure and increases insulin sensitivity🔥 Not only that, but it also has been proven to enhance the euphoric feeling in your brain, leaving you feeling pretty awesome 😁 Hence, it enhances your mood👊
Cocoa is cacao that has been roasted. During this roasting process, cacao loses it’s vital nutrients by a significant amount, therefore preventing you from receiving all of the benefits associated with Cacao☝️ However, it still tastes incredible 😁
Although they both taste excellent, one is better than the other overall, and that is Cacao👊 I still enjoy a good cup of cocoa though 😉 That being said, check certain cocoa brands you buy so that you can avoid any added sugars & preservatives that can hinder your results ☝️
