What a magnificent quote by Socrates, it almost seems like something Arnold Schwarzenegger would have said in Pumping Iron! Pushing the human body to its limits is a feeling unlike any other. The satisfaction that comes with reaching a goal only achieved through hard work over the course of many years. Recently, I saw one of my training partners rise to the occasion and achieve a massive goal. He eclipsed 315 lbs on the Bench Press for the first time in his life. It was a glorious moment, that I was honored to be there for. The same feeling can be true for all of us in our own training, when we see a lofty goal and set our minds to achieve it. This is one of the magnificent things the USAWA offers people who lift with us. The resplendent opportunity to focus on a National Record and make it your own! Whether it is the Dinnie Deadlift, the Allen Lift, the Barbell Bent Press or any of the other over 200 lifts that are available to set records in the USAWA! Now go the gym and train with vivacious vigor & break some records in the USAWA!

Remember the feeling and ………….

Embrace the Iron, Feel the Cold, Hard Steel & Know the Glory that comes from BEING STRONG!

“If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance a lot less”

– Sonny Beck, Owner of Beck’s Hybrids

As time marches on, its fellow irrefutable constant companion is CHANGE!

As much as humans like consistency, life is constantly changing. I was witness to tremendous personal change in 2023, dying on the operating table, overcoming multiple surgeries & starting a new business, but with constant change comes the opportunity to overcome and better ourselves. Change can be good, but it’s often a challenge to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We are part of an amazing organization, the USAWA, that has unlimited potential, but to continue to grow, we must adapt to the current strength world and embrace the future.  

John Maxwell said, “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.”

Tomorrow is coming and let’s embrace a glorious future!

BE STRONG!
