Yeah, and you have to go through that struggle.

0:02.0

Like we need that struggle, that difficult thing that scares us, like you said. If it's not scary, it's not enough. If it's not something that's going to take a prolonged effort, not, I'm not talking like two months for now. I'm talking a year or more of just buckling down and getting after it. And I needed that, I needed that discipline. The discipline is what drives me, so, you know, it would have been better to skip that day physically. Sure.

0:24.6

But mentally, you gotta wonder because that kind of in my mind means I quit.

0:29.6

1:17.7

Because you got the keg, it's just like,

1:19.9

and people are fucking getting knocked over,

1:22.2

left and right.

1:23.7

It was the revenge for all the bullshit

1:26.3

you had to go through before you know, before that.

1:28.7

1:31.0

Plus in the back, and it was Mike Isratel made a post a couple weeks ago.

1:37.1

And it was, he was doing the tricep extension.
