DIG DEEP.
This is what differentiates an army private from a Royal Marine Commando. Dig deep to run that extra mile, dig deep to push that extra push up, dig deep to handle that freezing ocean water or dessert heat.
This is what differentiates a regular gym geezer from a professional body builder. Dig deep to push that extra rep, dig deep to work negatives, dig deep to welcome lactic acid, dig deep to handle the pain, dig deep to cry out in pain and rip your muscle fibre to induce growth. This is what differentiates a pill pusher from a real Spartan.
This is what differentiates a strongman competitor from a wannabe. Dig deep to push the human body beyond its capacity to the point your blood explodes from your nose. Dig deep to be the strongest in the world.
This is what differenties an Olympic weight lifter from the boys back home who didnt make it to the tournament. Dig deep to welcome the bone crushing weight and pain. Dig deep when your body says no, and your mind says yes.
This is what differentiates a power lifter from the irritating pisser who drops the weights and screams out like he's lifting the weight of the world at the gym. Dig deep until unleaded pertrol flows through your body. Dig deep until you light a match and your muscle fibre and nervous system turn on fire. Dig deep until you hate going to the gym! IF you enjoy your work out you are not truly working out.
Digging deep is a mental state. It is warrior training. It is the ability to reach your maximum, the most you are humanly able to achieve, when the pain is horrific and you still......you still......you still continue to do what you are doing. It's that one more rep, that one more lap, that one more lashing. Dig deep. That's what separates the warriors from the men.
Dig deep.
