Yes it takes muscles/strength to lift x about of weight, but it takes the strength of your mind to believe in yourself to beable to acomplish this feat! I thought I would post a few motivational quotes to have you tap into your inner strength to gain power! Isn't that all we're are after? Power within ourselves? It's you vs. you! Yes you may compete at a national level to win your trophy but what is it that you're really after? If you don't know the answer to this question, keep asking it till you get your own answer, from within!
