Station 515

“I felt sorry for guys who packed into gyms, trying to look like how Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger said they should...”

you have seen the advertisements - “six pack abs”, “get totally ripped”, names like beast, tsunami, and x-plode - all promising to condense years of hard work into a shake or a pill. where do people get the idea that they can buy results? that they even deserve the physical manifestation of countless hours of blood, sweat, tears, and a level of determination that borders on psychosis?

our body is a tool, and like any tool, form follows function. so have a function. train for a purpose. make the hours matter. sacrifice. consequences will sharpen your attention.

work. work hard. work with people who will not accept anything less than your best. court failure. find your limits and expand them. take the bitter pill of over reaching with the knowledge that failure will teach you better than success ever will.

train yourself. take control. take responsibility. this is your life after all. how often is “can’t” code for “never tried”. cut the bull-shit. make decisions. make moves. make it matter. talk less, work more. work smart. what is stopping you?

it will hurt. you will survive. it will be inconvenient. you will survive. it will be
scary. you will survive. it will be hard. you will survive. keep at it, and you might
even live.

to live with a body, with a mind shaped by your own efforts. to be an individual, to know, to own your victories and defeats. to be able to taste panic, to face doubts with a quiet determination. to balance the world with the weight of our will.

that is our goal.
