Practice Makes Progress Not Perfection

Every Sunday I like to take a few progress pictures, including these photos I took this evening. 

I've been consistently doing this for well over a year now. I take these pictures to remind myself that no matter where you start, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. 

I hope these pictures will resonate with hundreds of men who are trying to start their own fitness journey, regardless of their age. 

For a year straight I didn't miss a single week of workouts. Day in, day out, no matter what, I did what I had to do and stuck with my vision. 

I hope my journey is not only a reminder to myself but to every single one of you to take action and move past the dissatisfied version of yourself. More than anything else, strength training is about tenacity, durability, and trying daily to get the best out of yourself. As with life, weight lifting can involve great sacrifice and effort, but it can also bring rewards of exhilaration and achievement for persevering, which are all gifts from God. Celebrate your accomplishments but don't rest on your laurels. Use the momentum from one goal achieved to work toward others.

Love,

Dave
