Op mijn prikbord hangen er tussen de trainingsschema's en anatomietekeningen een aantal krachtige citaten, teksten die herinneringen bij me oproepen of voor bepaalde waarden in mijn leven staan. Hieronder volgt een allegaartje, misschien kennen jullie andere voorbeelden. Die kunnen hier opgenoemd worden. Als dit topic geen goed idee lijkt, sluiten jullie het maar.

There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength.
[...]
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

Pain is weakness leaving the body.

How much do I need to eat?
1) More
2) There is an old business adage, “don’t dress for a job you have; dress for the job you want.” Apply this to your eating. If you want to be 215, you need to eat for 215, not for your 165 pound sprint-Tri doing self. You won’t get 70’s Big by pushing bird seed around your plate at your local hippy bistro. Start with 125-150% of what you’re eating now and see how that goes for a couple weeks.
70's Big

En dit:
The human body is a facinating organism. It can withstand the most brutal injury... and yet repair itself miraculously. But you know this all too well. How many broken bones have you suffered at the hands of your husband? How many flesh wounds have you endured? With time, the bruises have healed, but your pain has not. Today, I empower you to take control of your life. Can you disconnect from the one thing that has brought you and others so much pain? With time, your wounds will heal. His, however, will not. Remove the ties that bind or bleed to death from your inactivity. The choice is yours.
