Every choice you make, every action you take is the first step in forming habits.
My preference is to train asap daily, immediately after work when I have a shift, within an hour or two of waking on days when I don’t.
I like training after a day of effort, I like training fasted on days off, it’s just how I roll.
I’ve never been one to try and coddle the circumstances leading to the gym. I’ve found less is more preworkout, no food, no stimulants, even kinda fatigued/tired. Just hyped up on life.
Water only. Hydration matters, though the occasional training thirsty recalls a primal power that most never experience.

It’s not trying to get it done in the sense most think, I legitimately love my gym time, it’s simply keeping the habit strong.
I’ve had a friend from the gym tell me my lifting is addictive behavior.
In the same thought he said that it’s not necessarily a bad addiction to have.
It goes back to the formation of habits.
Aside from a day off when I’m truly tired (it can happen is when you’re working labor with a part time jobs worth of gym hours on top of it), when I take a day off that little voice of bitch ass weakness is there saying such malarkey as “I’m too tired”, “I feel low energy”, “take another day off”, etc.
The only time I’m not high frequency was during a real dark mentally burnt out and depressed period, and even then I’m usually still high frequency.
There were many times the gym was my only enjoyment of the day (which is no way to live meatheads), with lowness coming back while showering up.
So it boils down to this ; I’m gonna train regardless.
It gives me something positive every single day.
Usually done in the kitchen, I’m on my face, my pushups are getting done daily.
You need good positive habits. This is what I was preaching to my buddy in Cali as we walked that night summer 2012 advising him to start nightly pushups to create a victory for himself daily.
I pray he’s still pushing himself up when the worlds got him down.
I know the daily habit has helped me.
Form for yourself good habits.
That’s why I train 365, that’s why I train daily.
Weakness is everywhere ; as men we can’t be part of it.
Until tomorrow,
Persistence & Tenacity
