#commitmenttoself

A slight bit of motivation after 4 days sick in bed and unable to train. I thought I would share this in hopes of gathering as much sympathy as possible. Ok I’m joking but I’m running out of reasons to post now as my mind is congested... 🤧🤧 ------------------------------------------ View my link in Bio, which will take you to someplace special!

Photoshoot by @kathyjohnson in 2003. Almost looks like yesterday. This was 6 weeks out of the 2003 Canadian Nationals. The focus and desire has not dissipated as a matter of fact I want it more now than ever before! In someways the desire is so strong I literally feel sick... I attribute this to my realization that at my age I really don’t have a lot of years left to be competitor in the group I wish. Sure I can do master till I’m dead and with all due respect, for me I’d feel that if I’m 60 and competing, I would be in essence maintaining my physique rather than challenging it to grow substantially. I have all the respect for those 60+ guys doing their best and their physiques look great... but damn it I still want to stand on stage with the pros and do a show. I want to see my legs bigger, arms bigger, everything better and way more conditioned. Maybe it’s crazy, delusional and unrealistic however as long as I believe this way of thinking who can say it’s wrong. I need to live my life as smart or crazy as I want (within reason.. my health can’t suffer and I draw the line at reckless) for it is the only life I have. There is plenty of time to reflect on what I did when I’m floating in space or nourishing the soil. This goes to everyone who has a dream .. who gives a shit what dream it is. NEVER NEVER NEVER STOP, at until you at least get it or don’t want it anymore! ------------------------------------------ #jfx #teamJfx #elitetechnutrition #picoftheday #positive #lawofattraction #commitment #commitmenttoself #dontgiveup #motivation #beastmode #precontest #gymlife #gym #ifbbprohopeful #dontquit #neverstop #fitness #bodybuilding #canada #malta #kuwait #usa #california #bepositive #bestrong #instagram ------------------------------------------ (at Healthy Recipes by John F Xuereb)

~ BACK DAY ~ always trying to improve! What is this incessant need to improve! Where does it come from ? How can it affect one so much that it actually seems to stop one from truly growing older? What’s it all for ? Well I am sure everyone will have their own answers to these questions, but mine is a simple answer. VALUE! value of my life, value of my mental health, value of my physical health, value of my word; if I speak words I aim to live the same. “If you’re going to talk the talk you best be prepared to walk the walk” In the end, those who truly care about how I feel or what I do will only be those in my immediate circle, but no one will care more than I. I have to live with myself, with my decisions and with my chose to either get busy living or get busy dying. And of course I choose life and I choose to value that life. And for that I will always ALWAYS demand the best of myself, and then expect that I follow through by being and loving my best! This is my perspective... what’s yours!? ------------------------------------------ View my link in Bio, which will take you to someplace special! Either my Podcast or YouTube or who knows.

#throwback to #2008 and 2 weeks before the #cbbf Nationals. One of my leanest conditions. Certainly top 3. I think if I can master the conditioning for the exact day of the show I’ll finally realize my goals completely. January comes the start of me checking the food and focusing on the condition for July’s competition. So I’m looking forward to that. Just collecting all the information now to be able to get my plan so as to start! This is my #motivation this year... #ifbbpro that’s what I want to hear. So like every other year I competed, I said the same thing. This will be no different and it will happen! ------------------------------------------ View my link in Bio, which will take you to someplace special! Either my Podcast or YouTube or who knows.

405 #benchpress. Lift big,get big... though now I am trying to alternate that thinking out to also train lighter with but to failure and to train at 70% to 15 reps and then train 80% - 90% at 6 reps. Give these joints a rest. Being responsible with training has a way of elongating once training duration in life! But it still does feel good to drive out some heavier weight from time to time! ------------------------------------------ View my link in Bio, which will take you to someplace special!

Day 12 - Pretty much one of my most favorite books ever.

So not really a sketch, more like a painting.

Day 8. It was almost the end of the day since I spent the entirety of my afternoon filling in that wardrobe inventory spreadsheet I made last month FINALLY... finally starting to do an inventory of my wardrobe so I can break down what I have and might not need to still need. And somehow that took up much of my day. I need to work on working efficiently and making good use of my time and not being such a slow poke with things. At least I finished listening to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets while I was doing it. I was playing audiobooks at the same time in an attempt to feel extra productive. Yay me?
