Here is a great great article (or maybe part of book, not sure about it) form the past written by Henry Rollins. It is very very motivating for me. A story about how skinny guy (himself) changed his life when he started lifting weights and what the Iron teaches him. Wow.. I just love it and re-read it from time to time. I think you will enjoy it too ;)

I believe that the definition of definition is reinvention. To not be
like you parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself.
Completely.

When I was young I had no sense of myself. All I was, was a product of
all the fear and humiliation I suffered. Fear of my parents. The
humiliation of teachers calling me “garbage can” and telling me I’d be
mowing lawns for a living. And the very real terror of my fellow
students. I was threatened and beaten up for the color of my skin and
my size. I was skinny and clumsy, and when others would tease me I
didn’t run home crying, wondering why. I knew all too well. I was
there to be antagonized. In sports I was laughed at. A spaz. I was
pretty good at boxing but only because the rage that filled my every
waking moment made me wild and unpredictable. I fought with some
strange fury. The other boys thought I was crazy.

Today, I want to post a Success story of one of the blog visitors – Jair’s story. They guy gained 15lbs in 1,5 months using advice of this blog. Most importantly though, he had enough guts and determination to eat enough and actually follow the advice and stick with it. Some people just read stuff, but don’t apply it as advised.

But Jair succeeded and agreed to share his story with us. He is inspirational for me and I hope for you too ;) Give this a read! ;)

How to Start and Finish Your Workout

We all want to work out. At least, we like the idea of working out. Problem is that a lot of times we just aren’t motivated to start or get too lazy to finish. I’ve struggled with this my whole life and I still come across it time to time these days, but there’s a way to discipline yourself and have a rewarding workout, start to finish.

You ever feel like you were born to be unsuccessful? Loser? Unhappy? And all this because of being skinny-ass weakling whose body reminds of a girl and is not attractive? Maybe you also aren’t handsome and don’t have a face of Brad Pitt? Maybe you don’t even consider yourself worth a lot (a gorgeous, sexy girl, a great career you love and lots of fun time with friends)?
Well, I’m here to say… HELL NO!!! You are not born to be so!

I will share a method with you that started a huge fire inside me, that drives me to gain muscle, workout and achieve that great looking, strong body. I already think some of you have this inside you but don’t even know this exists and that it drives you forward! Well, if you want to know what it is than read on! ;)
