“It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly;
who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt

This excerpt from Roosevelt’s Citizenship in a Republic speech is so important that I’ve hung it up in my gym.

Whenever you feel like quitting, remember your are in the arena and need to keep on pushing forward.

Listening to hardcore history while performing giant sets... makes you realize you’re problems are insignificant...
.
Giant set 1:
- squats, jumps, side bends
.
Giant set 2:
- Z press, barbell row, hanging leg raise CrossFit style.
.
I think that one of these days I’ll be able to touch the ceiling with my head. I think I’m almost there.
.
These giant sets are killer, inspired by @neversate. He has some amazing content on YouTube.
