How good do you want to be? Without expectations, effort, time, and consistency you will never know your potential.

[Brenton Cates @brentcates20]

If 95% of your teammates are showing growth and development, and you’re not… don’t come complain to me.

You won’t like that conversation.

You get what you put into the weight room every single day. You can’t hide from the process. You can’t cheat the weight room.

Eventually, it will expose you!
