"Thought I'd share some advice with you: The success of your training should not be conditional to the sucess of you life. At times we may loose sight of this and only want to train properly when things are going well for us. This is a mistake as no matter how far out of control you may be with the rest of your life, you can always take charge with your training & be in control of it. The positive results you make with your training will quickly flow over into your personal life & improve things there. So if ever you are in a rut, fix your training 1st & space other things around it. Trust me, you'll be better equipped to cope with life if you are feeling good about your appearance."
