Summary
I was never a competitor, ever, or so I believed. "I just didn't have it in me" because someone else told me so.
In this episode, I walk you through how I stopped listening and believing other peoples limitations of myself, and ventured into something I knew I wasn't, a competitive athlete, a business owner, and a Level 1 CrossFit Seminar Trainer.
In this single year, I reached three lifetime dreams, not goals. Not because I was ambitious and knew it could happen, but because I stopped believing other peoples limitations of me, and started taking a chance to fail. 2010 was the year I decided to start believing in my dreams, even if I was the only one who did.
Stay Relentless,
- Christmas Abbott

Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals. Usually in the gym, but outside as well. In 2012 they posted their first Barbell Shrugged podcast and have been putting out weekly free videos and podcasts ever since.
Along the way we've created successful online coaching programs including The Shrugged Strength Challenge, The Muscle Gain Challenge, FLIGHT, Barbell Shredded, and Barbell Bikini.
We're also dedicated to helping affiliate gym owners grow their businesses and better serve their members by providing owners tools and resources like the Barbell Business Podcast.

| 0:16.5 | into their California. I go to their store all the time up in Carl's Bad and the fact that they |
| 0:23.1 | want to be a part of the Shrug collective makes me super happy. This stuff is so comfortable. I'm |
| 0:29.1 | actually wearing it right now. There's a built-in liner and unlike all of the other liners, |
| 0:35.6 | it's actually comfortable. It doesn't give me all the weird chafing and tightness and weird stuff |
| 0:42.1 | that goes on with most liners. The shorts are incredibly comfortable. The designs are great. They |
| 0:49.1 | do not look or feel like traditional athletic gear. I love the fact that I can wear them into public |
| 0:55.0 | and they look like I'm wearing really nice clothes and then all of a sudden I can be in the gym |
| 0:59.2 | wearing the exact same thing. Be comfortable, have plenty of room to squat and they don't give me that |
| 1:05.6 | weird, I want to call it the nice clothes looking model feel like we are built to squat. We don't have |

| 1:45.5 | it. You'll want to wear it all the time. The product is incredibly versatile. It can be used for |
| 1:49.9 | just about any activity like running, training, spinning yoga. There's also great to cruise around |
| 1:55.2 | in the rest of the day as well. An athletic clothing company focused primarily on men finally. |
| 2:03.0 | Try this new athletic gear for yourself. Beory is offering listeners of the Shred Collective |
