Being creative and training “smart” only goes so far.

Stop with the training variations and start working harder.

At some point we need to stop dancing around the fact that most people need to be told to raise their intensity level.

[Eric Cafferty @EricCafferty]

If you have to tell people how hard you are working…

You probably are not working hard enough.

“A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link”… the same is true as to your reputation.

Your reputation is only as strong as your most adverse action.

Think about that before you think, speak or move.

We are a sum of our thoughts.

Exercise, good nutrition and healthy habits are the only things you can do to create more time in your life.

So next time you find yourself thinking you don’t have time to exercise, sleep or track your food...think again. You cannot afford not to.

Pressure is a privilege.

We should be looking at challenges as opportunities to grow and learn.

Your mind should out perform your body 10 out of 10 times. If that isn’t the case, it’s time to shift your priorities.

[Eric Cafferty @EricCafferty]

Determine a goal or “a dream” worth trading your life for because in the end, that is what you are doing.

The sooner you stop setting outcome oriented goals and start setting process oriented goals, the more successful you will become!

[Eric Cafferty @EricCafferty]

Focus your time and energy on movements that will give you the greatest ROI in the gym.

Stop spending your time and energy trying to “confuse your muscles.” You are the only one getting confused.
