"Hey, what are you training for?"

"Hey, what are you training for??"
"Life, motherfucker."
KB weighted pushups

It's amazing to me every time someone asks me this.  As if to say, "you must be playing a sport or doing a grueling competition, otherwise why aren't you on the couch like the rest of us!"  I train because I love it.  I train to be strong.  I train to build my body, my mind, and my spirit.  I train because in life, as in sport, there will come a time when you can either push through or you can back down and quit.  What will you do when this time comes?

It's incredible what you can do with a 70 pound kettlebell, your bodyweight, and alot of pent-up anger towards the people involved in FDU enrollment and housing.
