Motivation

Yo!

I kind of regret writing a special blog post on monday, because now I don't think I have enough material to write an amazing blog post thursday.  DAYUM. But honestly I really don't regret it. The response I got from my last post was freeking awesome. It was great! Keep them coming baby! 

So this week's post might be a tidy boring compared to mondays, SORRY. But, this one is a motivation talk. So listen up!

I got a new front squat 5RM PR this week, if that isn't motivating, I don't know what is.

We've already been through this, crossfit works because of its community. We all got that straight. We also covered that crossfit tortures you with emotions, and I have concluded that it is good for me.

Here's the thing though, with crossfit, you feel a lot of love but you feel a lot of hate at the same time. It's a love/hate relationship. Some days you walk in the gym and you feel fucking great, and you PR that day and your dancing between sets, and your hugging everybody, and smiling, and giving love and just being bubbly about life. ( the dancing part, is really pretty much only me, but you get it.) Then there's the days when you walk in the gym, and you don't really know why your there, why you didn't just stay home and watched TV all night. The days you don't PR, the days you either can't finish the WOD in the time cap or the days you finish last. The days every single muscle hurts in your body, the days you climb a rope, and you fail, the days you do dumbell push presses, and it's so fucking painful that you cry. The days when you pick up your barbell and you have to take weight off because it won't lift. The days that your hands are full of blood, that you can't hang on to the rig. The days you can't do a certain movement, such as walking on your hands or linking your toes to bar or even double unders. 

Those days. 

But it's because of those days, that we come back, wanting more. Hungry for more. It's those days that we know our community will be there for us. It's those days we know that no matter how hard we cry, every single tear will be worth it. Because no matter what, you will do what you have to do. You will be at the gym, wondering why you didn't stay home that day, but you will tell yourself it's to late now, might as well fuck shit up in the gym. 

And it's on those days we get stronger, physically, but mostly mentally. So next time you think about not wanting to be there, just remember, there's a reason why you are here. Your becoming a beast. 

Speaking of Beasts, who has ever WODED with Charles ? You don't know who Charles is, let me tell you who he is, he is THE beast. And I say it in the nicest way possible. I did a workout with him this week, 3 small rounds. Well as I was finishing my second round, he was done the WOD. I felt really lame. Because that was probably his 5th WOD of the day, and it was my first. And it was one of those days. Thanks mon petit Charles! But hey, I finished one of Charles WODS "RX" (rowing and burpees) hahaha, that's pretty cool. I'm probably way stronger now...Or not. He's impressive, and a good inspiration, Go check out his facebook page here!

The beast, Charles

Anyways, when your feeling like you just want to give up, remember, your mind will quit 100 times before your body ever does. Feel the pain and do it anyways. Because no one has become somebody without working their asses off. 

I don't say this very often, but my brother gave me wise advice the other day. He said, and I quote: " I have never been good at learning things, when I was in school I always had summer school, tutors, meetings with teachers, but I always ended up passing because I worked my ass off. When I started crossfit, it was the same thing, I couldn't for my life do a double under, walk on my hands, I couldn't even do kipping pull-ups, but everyday I practised, everyday I worked on my weaknesses even though I hated it, even though it made me mad, even though I raged, I practised, over and over and over again, until my weaknesses became my strengths". 

No need of his legs, bro doing his thing.

He is right. Everyday, we must all work on our fears, our weaknesses, or else, we will never succeed. Discipline is the fuel of achievement. And it's the frustration that fuels me to come back. 

I am the most excited person right now.  This weekend, my awesome friend and awesome team partner/training partner Danielle, My bro Marc André, my friend and trainer/bawssss Mike and my training partner (mouhaha) and friend Charles are competing at the firebreather!!!! It's going to be awesome !  Holy balls I'm excited. Like I just want to dance. WOAH. You are all going to do amazing. Don't forget to go H.A.M.

I'm going to lose my voice again. For sure! Yeah!

It's my second morning at starbucks, and there's this couple disturbing me. It's really making me uncomfortable. Eww,  couples making out in public, should not. That is all.

Spread the love, share this post.
