Wisdom Wednesday #3

Ecclesiastes 2:26

For God giveth to a man that is good in his 

sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the 

sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that

he may give to him that is good before God. This also 

is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Buddha

Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.

Plutarch
To make no mistake is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.

Merry Browne
Preconceived notions are the locks on the door to wisdom.

Robert G. Ingersoll

It is a thousand times better to have common sense without

education than to have education without common sense.


  Well 12 weeks in and I'm still pushing and still learning. 

Through my journey I have have a lot of weaknesses and 

things I need to work on. Luckily I have been training at a 

place where there are many more experienced people and 

coaches who are always willing to help each other out. 

People pushing you to be better and pointing out your 

mistakes are the only way you will get better. 

  Try not to get embarrassed by mistakes, slow times, bad 

form, dropping the weight, or doing something you never

done before. As you work through and with continued

practice you will eventually get it. If you want it bad enough 

and make time for it then you will achieve it. Plenty of people

at my gym are living proof of that. Don't have to big of an 

ego to take some advice and don't be afraid to ask for help.

Even if you're the biggest dude in the gym being coached 

by a woman or a dude half your size, I promise you that you 

won't lose your man card. 

  So I was going to post a video of workout fails but we need 

to focus on going into the gym and doing the right thing. 

When you push yourself to the limit, there will be breaks in 

form, drops or misses and that's ok. Just don't train bad 

form! 

Todays workout:

2 cleans + 1 jerk - 5 sets

Have a great day people. Leave comments here and tell me what you think. Please share and thanks for reading.
