Will you always lift?
Of course you will, you love training and it's the best damn sport. But hey I'm not talking about now while you are at uni, or currently between jobs or single or while mum and dad are cool with you living at home. No I am not talking about will you train in your early twenties when you can head out drink piss, chase girls and still feel ok for your squat session. Nor am I talking about in your early thirties when you can still manage time and hey the extra cash means you can spend more on supplements and gear!
No I am talking about being in your forties fifties and beyond when your your test is half the level it was in your twenties, when a deadlift workout takes 10 days to recover from, when no matter how much mobility you have some shit continues to ache.
Will you always lift? Probably not, I hope you do but many of you won't, the odds are against it. See it's not how you train when you are on holidays or only doing 20 hours a week at University. It's about whether you still man up for a session after a 12 hour day and two plane flights. It's about still hitting your numbers after back to back weeks of no sleep because your new born just won't sleep. It's about doing manual labour in 40 degree heat day in day out but still getting under that fucking squat bar and giving it your all.
Training is like life, it's not about your intentions it's about your resilience: how well can you cope when shit doesn't go your way.
So will you always lift?
Stay Strong
