You know its been said that you haven’t truly failed until you decide to quit.

Failure is a decision.

It’s a choice you make personally to give up.

Many people will try something and in the end, will not accomplish quite what they were looking to do.

Those that “decide” to quit – they are the only true failures.

If at first you don’t succeed, try again, and again, and AGAIN!

Failure is NOT an option at the Forged Athlete Gym here in Omaha NE!

If the outcome of what you were trying to do doesn’t happen at first, keep trying, keep pushing and you WILL SUCCEED!

You have the choice to succeed or fail.

Which will it be??

I hit my heavy deadlift day just today and you know what, I didn’t do quite what I wanted to do.

I attempted a weight that I have gotten in the past but I didn’t hit it today.

Did I fail?  NO – I haven’t decided to fail yet!  I just found a way how to NOT lift that particular weight today.

I will lift that weight, just in good time.

Our failures can teach us alot.

They can teach us what we may have been doing wrong.

They can tell us what we need to change.

In the end, it’s up to us to make sure to make the changes and do the things to be right.

If you decide to quit, then you have FAILED!

Make the choice to succeed!

Here’s the workout I cranked today.  It was a real ass kicker and it taught me alot of where I am now and what I need to do to get where I wanna be.

1A) 1 arm barbell snatch  4 x 3

2A) Barbell Deadlifts 3×3, 4×1

3A) Mixed grip weighted pull ups 3 x max

3B) Pistol squats 3 x 5/leg

4A) Heavy Back Extensions 3 x 15

4B) Sledge swings 3 x 10/Arm

4C) TRX pikes 3 x 15

Learn from your failures but don’t let your setbacks turn you into a real failure!

You only truly fail if you choose to quit!

Push forward!

Get Forged Strong!
