Why do you do what you do?
I ask "What is your why?" because it's actually the most important part of any goal. To make changes in your life you have to have something very powerful motivating you. I realized that early in my running career. I committed myself to running my very first marathon. What happened is that it changed my mindset completely. I started looking at my running differently. If you're going to succeed, you need to ask what your why is, because if it's not powerful enough you're probably not going to follow through with it.
This means that before you get into the nuts and bolts of strength training, you need to get into the why. People usually lose their goals because of what's between their ears, not because the training is too hard or the diet is too rigorous. We can endure amazing things when we have a really good reason for doing what we're doing.
The "why" is the real answer and drive for everything in life. Not the what or the how.
