In 2003 Matthew Withrow ran a 14:54 5k as a high school senior at the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships. I think this guy won because he was the toughest guy out there.

"Every time you stay out late; every time you sleep in; every time you miss a workout; every time you don't give 100% - You make it that much easier for me to beat you.

365 days. There is no offseason." - Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.

The men on the picture is Hafþór messing up Stefán Sölvi (placed 4th in World's Strongest Man 2010) and Brian Shaw (WSM 2011!!!). Brian is about 210kgs and Stefán 160kg.

Hafþór has been training seriously for little over a year.

My fellow TLers.

I just gave myself a 30-45 minute rant in my car (yes to myself). Bottom line is I wasn't performing how I wanted, and holding myself back by placing blame on other things.

After a lot of cussing, tons of venting, and a promise to myself (that included me not sitting in my car doing the same thing next weekend. Not like this is a regular thing for me though lol), I've come to type it on TL.

Fuck everything, quit shifting the blame on other stuff, and do not be less than your possible best. Always strive to build yourself; don't say you have it when you haven't truly done it, and that you could but just haven't, and don't be a bitch. Do what you are afraid to do. Live in the present while it happens. Sure. You will fail. Go ahead and repeat that to yourself out loud. That's what it takes for it to set in. But you can't be successful without failing. You won't be. If you haven't failed, then you haven't lived.

Sorry for the cussing
Also Zafrumi, you win the thread. I am way too in love with chucks girl.

Pretty much how i live my life. If i ever don't want to do something i literally just tell myself to quit being a bitch. It's gotten to the point where the fact that i don't let anything stop me it physically pains me when other people bitch out of shit they should just do. Whatever, just means i'm getting that much better.
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

I don't know if this counts for everyone else but this song really does it for me:

Basically, don't let the world stop you doing something you want.

For all of us in finals. Seriously, I'll be doing this next quarter. Fuck facebook, twitter, skyrim, and all that jazz. The only website I'll be on will be fitocracy. All I need is lifting, school, and some social life on the fucking weekend. The part at looking at your goals instead of whats directly in front of you hit home with me.
