1. Never say you're too old. I started serious strength training at the age of 69. Today I'm 72. Aging isn't "lost youth." It's a new stage of personal growth.
2. Never fail to warm up first. If you fail to get your blood cells moving, you're asking for an injury. I never lift until I've spent at least 10 minutes warming up.
3. Never say never. Today I was able to do three consecutive wide grip pull ups with proper form. It was a milestone for which I am VERY grateful. When you celebrate micro-wins on your way to your dream, it can boost confidence and increase the likelihood that you can achieve your goal.
I can tell you firsthand that Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't have felt any better receiving his first Mr. Olympia title than I did today.
It's all grace. Thank you Lord!
