a byrdie inspired blogging

i am going to reiterate byrds statement of thinking i have been lifting a lot lot longer than i have been

my first comp was october 2005 which will be 5 years in two months time where i hoisted a massive 60 and 80 hahaha
i had more a less a year off of lifting in the middle in 2007 while i was away i tipped away doing some lifting but never really achieved any consistency or intensity and then it comes to the biggest mistake i have made in my lifting career my insistence in going back to play hurling for a few months after the nationals ie april everywhere in my mind a great idea what a redicolous idea .......

At best i have a training year of 4 take into account some of the crazy stupid shit i have done and my god i have done a lot of crazy stupid training all from which i have learnt and if had back i would do the same again so i truely know what works. i would give myself a training age of 2 years do to my stupidity and pissing about with no commitment and as the wiley byrd aluded to the concept of 10 years practice to fulfill your potential that leaves me 8 years

PATIENCE ANDY ----------------

patience is the key to success in this sport and realising that just because you are doing 92 and 120 today does not mean that in a years time you will magically be doing 110 and 140. in your lifting you fight for every kilo you add to your total you can break your balls 20 hours a week training or 2 hours a week training but you earn every kilo that you add to your total.

Since coming back from holidays this year i have decided not to be a soft cock and get on with training and to bust my balls and to push my body to new levels. the last two years since the world unis i have not given the same commitment to my lifting in terms of laying out things in my life and more inportantly my effort in the gym. i have pissed about doing easy things in the gym or when i fail a lift just giving in and saying ah too heavy today. i have decided thats bollox and its time i just got on with it and challenged myself. it is no co incidence that since i have stopped giving the same commitment to my lifting i have put fuck all on my total and i mean fuck all !!!!!

i snatched 94 kilo in nov 2007 and then 100 in october 2008 a lift i have not exceeded since ........ yes embaressing however when i do break this lift every minute of the work will be worth as i know i will have earned it


its all about that next kilo not about this magical number you think or someone else thinks you can make within the next month or year you gotta put your head down and put in the work !!!!!

TIME TO SORT IT OUT AND COMMIT TO WEIGHTLIFTING AND STOP BEING A SOFT COCK OR PICK A NEW SPORT
