Get Stronger Every Day

Strength is a process not an end.  There is on point where you can say, "Ok, now that I've done this, I am strong."  Each and every day you must strive to be stronger than yesterday.  I will never promise myself or an athlete that I can pack on 25 pounds of muscle in a certain amount of time, or that I can add 60 pounds to a squat or deadlift in just a couple short months with some magical technique or programming.  I can promise that my athletes, teammates and I will work and push ourselves and each other every day to improve and get stronger.  Whether it's one more pound or one more rep, an increased work capacity or better technique, or even just going past failure and completing a rep or a set when every part of your body was begging you to quit, your goal should be to make progress every single time you step into the gym.  That is what we're about at JMSB; progress.
