I realized on Monday that my goal of improving my Olympic Weightlifting abilities started just about a year ago. That's pretty groovy. I'm nowhere near where I want to be and I'm not kind of good at this stuff yet to compete where I'd like to, but fuck, dude... I found someone videos from a year ago and the change is nuts. Super proud of myself. Trying to remember everything I've been lucky enough to have @jcsmith84 cue me on. Staying tighter, stay over the bar longer, Pull THROUGH extension, don't "Pull-extend-continue Pull." The most improvement I've seen all around in the last year is my patience and study of the task. I'm at complete peace with the process and where I'm at, but fired right the fuck up to keep getting stronger and fitter. I love this shit. "Find what you love and let it kill you," and all that. Anywhoosle, here's some mediocre snatches. I worked up to 185x1 today. Solid day. #loveyourlifeorchangeit #fuckmediocrity #movethedirt #duespaid #paytheman #powerathlete #olympiclifting @paythemanofficial @powerathletehq @crossfit (at Crossfit Thunder)

Well, that went pretty okay! Trying to stay consistent and just be a little bit better every single day. #fuckmediocrity #thisisanadventure #crossfit #powerathlete #muscleup #bignastics #gymnastics @crossfit @powerathletehq @crossfitthunder @cfgymnastics (at Crossfit Thunder)

Practice. Practice. Practice. Slowly getting better. One day at a time. #powerathlete #fuckmediocrity #spreadhviii #trainftw @train_ftw @powerathletehq #getyourmindright (at Crossfit Thunder)

When you're literally dripping with sparkles ✨ (A similar shine to how I felt on the inside when I was in Europe) Thankyou @fidm for making me your Razzle Dazzle Doll. #fuckmediocrity . . . @cristaklayman @lamodelsrunway @genelebrock @nickverreos @bdavidpaul @koziakproductions #latergram #model #modelsthinking #briannabarnes #actress #tvpresenter #fashionfever #fashion #costumes #costumedesign #fidmdebut2021 #rhinestones #sequence #tophat (at FIDM) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVDhm7rJ7is/?utm_medium=tumblr

Words to live by. Life is too short to do shit you don’t like just for money. Do what you love. If you’re not sure what that is, figure it out. Try new shit. Your boss at your job doesn’t give a chicken fried fuck about YOU. Don’t ever forget that. I look around and see long faces everywhere I go. So many people go through their whole lives without having lived. Senior centers are filled with sad elderly men and women filled with regrets for not having even tried to be who they really wanted to be because they were more concerned with what others thought. The day you stop caring what others think and just start taking some risks in your life to be what you want to be or do what you want to do, you’re on the road towards freedom. #fuckmediocrity #doyouboo #bewhoyouare #freedommeansnofear #livelifeonyourownterms #dontgrowoldwithregrets (at Wanitakashiro, Otsu-shi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJoK3bHpa6t/?igshid=xt56y2amfhhe

Say "F*ck off" to mediocrity in your own self and in your life. If you really wanna achieve something huge, you have to work harder than you think. Being mediocre is never gonna help you to achieve your goals, which are above mediocrity. If you wish to 17+ inches muscle biceps than you must do more than 200 push ups daily. So does 17+ inches fat biceps needs eating 200 calories and fatty food every 30 mins. We can learn being mediocre from mediocre people and also expect the same. But if you don't wanna be mediocre, that cannot only be learn by experience and consistently improvising your self. Not being mediocre is to choose the heroic task or what is difficult and beyond your reach. THEN MAKE IT HAPPEN. - #fuckmediocrity #mediocre #nonmediocre #mediocrity #jurjun7 #motivation #inspiration #inspirationalquotes (at Ahmedabad, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHBN8vxHNyc/?igshid=ezs19dw9dzvg

Two things: 1.) Chains are way easier to load for Weighted Dips and don’t move near as much. Build to a 5RM. Big day of Accessory work. 2.) They sound way cooler and contradict the fact that I cried at the new Pooh Bear movie trailer this morning. ———————————————————— @powerathletehq @crossfitstrongman @crossfit @paythemanofficial #paytheman #burnitdown #powerathlete #HWPO #poohbear #crossfit #fuckmediocrity (at Crossfit Thunder)

Today I put 600lbs on a bar I picked it up. It was off blocks right at the bottom of my knees. A lot of people don’t give a shit and won’t. Cool. I do. My cup that is usually full of giving a shit about what other people have to say has been emptied. I’ve been drained, mentally. I’m out of patience. I’m out of curiosity. I’m out of wondering who’s doing what and why and should I be doing that and how can I and why aren’t I that good...? Fuck that. Good ol’ best friend and hardest worker I know @tracy.jones.18 bringing me back to my balance. I’ve been pouring all my energy into training and coaching and I am damn proud of how far I’ve come and how much further I have to go. You want something? Go fucking get it. Your laziness is a lie. Motivation is bullshit. Dedication is real. I’m the strongest, fastest, and fittest I’ve ever been. I’m the lightest I’ve been in four years (208lbs). I love this shit. I needed this lift. I saw it a million times in my head. I duct taped that shit to the bar and I picked it up. No matter what, I can go to bed tonight knowing I picked up 600lbs. We’ve barely even started. I’m fucking ready. Let’s burn it down. ——————————————————— #HWPO #crossfit #powerathlete #fuckmediocrity #burnitdown #paytheman @paythemanofficial @powerathletehq @blackironnutrition
