Making the Decision Every Single Day

Here's a little something for you all to think about as you get ready to do whatever it is that you do.

Every single day, you make a choice.

Think about that statement. I'll even repeat it for you...

Every single day, you make a choice.

You wake up. Go to work. Eat your little sorry lunch. Grab an unhealthy ass snack because you didn't meal prep on the weekend. Drag yourself to the gym. Cut corners with your program. Sulk on home and get on Facebook and like a meme that says, "being an adult means you're tired all the time."

That's the daily routine for a lot of you out there because at no point in the cycle did you say, "wait a minute, this shit ain't working and I have the power to change it."

You see every single day you're blessed enough to wake up, regardless of your circumstances, you make the choice to live you best life. You either decide to do well or at least do better, or you just let the inertia of life take you wherever it goes. You have all the power needed within you to change what tomorrow will be like, but too often we let modern life convince us that it's outside of our power to do so. We get so wrapped up in the social and financial aspects of daily living that we often forget what our purpose is, and how we have an obligation to ourselves and the world around us to be better than we were the day before.

When you wake your little sorry ass up in the morning, I want you to be EXCITED that you have another day on this planet to enjoy the beauty around it and the blessings you have been given and take pride in the things you have earned and created. If that's not how you feel in the morning, it is a gigantic red flag that you have to change your perspective and become an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in your life.

Every single day, you make a choice to complain.
Every single day, you make a choice to wallow in self-pity and doubt.
Every single day, you make a choice to let negativity influence your decisions.

Fuck that! I don't care if you have to set a tiny ass goal as simple as "I will take the trash out today." Make a choice to live just a little bit better than the day before. Progress, however small, is progress, and all you have to do is make the choice to do it. Motherfucker you make a thousand choices a day anyway, why continue to make poor ones?

Make the right choice. Believe in yourself. Love yourself. Set a goal and start inching toward that motherfucker, it might take you longer than the next person, but you WILL get there if you make the choice!

The New York Pro 2020: Florida, the Temporary Empire State

New York Pro 2020, held in Tampa, FL this year. L ast weekend we were blessed enough to have an IFBB Pro show go off without a hitch this year, as so few things have gone hitch-free during the COVID Pandemic, as the New York Pro was held in Tampa, Florida.  As restrictions are not uniform and the state of Florida continues to be welcoming of all manner of gathering, the event was moved south this year and we have a brand new winner in Iain Valliere who beat out a handful of IFBB stalwarts and qualified for this year’s Mr. Olympia.       Since winning his first amateur show in 2010, the Canadian heavyweight had powerful start in the world of bodybuilding winning six amateur shows and earning his Pro Card in 2014. While earning a Pro Card in four years seems good enough, Valliere won every amateur contest he was in during that time in his homeland before traveling south to Mexico in his campaign to get the elusive Pro Card at the Amateur Olympia. Life as a pro has been more of a steady c

Mr. Olympia 2020: The Welsh Dragon Joins the Battle

  On the surface it would be easy to dismiss anyone competing up into a bigger or more competitive pool of contestants, especially for their first time doing so. Of course, to dismiss Flex Lewis, the “Welsh Dragon” and seven time winner of the 212 Mr. Olympia title for any reason, might be a poor bet to make. But is this year’s Olympia the best place for the Dragon do tread into open water? Maybe it’s the perfect time. This year’s contest is stacked, and while the favorites are the defending champ Brandon Curry and returning seven time champion Phil Heath, the last two years have shown us that the static that once held the Sandow in place for years and year, might have lost its grip. With two new champions in the last two years, the rise in competition could be the perfect place for a dialed-in Lewis to not only make a splash, but make history. Though he ran roughshod over the 212’s for years, he was almost always among the largest contenders-or at least those appearing to be the l

What's the Deal with Cedric McMillan and the Olympia?

Most of us proud meatheads fall into two categories with bodybuilding, we love the freaks like Ronnie Coleman or Roelly Winklaar or we champion the classic physiques of Frank Zane or Dexter Jackson. In the history of the Olympia we’ve seen that the judges tend to prefer a mix of both from year to year, but when the points get added up-they often don’t reward competitors with physiques in the middle. Such is the case with Cedric McMillan, the man who wins EVERYWHERE except the Olympia and there really isn’t a good reason why.   Cedric McMillan, champion bodybuilder and proud member of the United States Army McMillan came on to the scene a little over a decade ago winning his pro card in 2009 and won his first show in 2011. Since then he has competed in thirty IFBB Pro League shows and won eight of them, including winning a little show called the Arnold Classic (Columbus) in 2017. In fact, other than two early outings at the New York Pro, McMillan hasn’t finished lower than sixth place a
