2. What stopped you from training consistently?
The answers are so insightful I thought I'd share with you...

I'll tell you something right now.
It won't be MORE stuff.
You don't want more money
You don't want more strength
You don't need to focus on that.
Huh? I hear you thinking...
...but stay with me.
Read MoreI'm fed of seeing people failing to follow through on their goals
Good people too
People who should know better.
People who claim they don't have time to make a meal plan

I'll change your life right now:
Read MoreThese two rules always hold true for 'success'
1) Do the right things
