Surround yourself with people like yourself

I´m only talking about training today.
Talking like this about life...Mhm, that would be a topic far too big for a blog.

So back to training...
The Chinese got a saying: "People adopt the colours of their surroundings."

This is true... If you hang around with a certain kind of people, you start acting, talking, walking, being like them.
This doesn´t have to be a bad thing... As long as YOU got CORE VALUES that are INCORRUPTIBLE!
If you can integrate yourself in a new group, you got great social skills. If you lose your values in the process... Then you just got now backbone. Sorry to tell you.

Some people consider me crazy. Who thought of that?! ;-)
They just can´t understand why i spend my life the way i do.
I got a hell of an education on the medical field, in my spare time i manage to complete an additional education/schooling, take care of my training and the one of others, eat, sleep and have a social life.
It´s not easy but i feel good with the way things are going.
No mather how often people ask me "why", "how", "why" or "why the hell..." i know that is my way and that is all i need to know.

I try to limit my time spent on the internet, in forums, on social- platforms, because much of the stuff there is mostly a waste of time...
Endless discussions, time-consuming games, you-know-what-else.
But some things you need to take advantage of.
Some forums ( http://www.fighterfitnessforum.com/ , www.rosstraining.com) can help you, because there are people who think alike, who train their mind and body constantly, who live the way i live.
There are endless ideas for challenges, fitness-games, ways to get variety in your training, nutrition, regeneration.
This gives you the opportunity to get information about a million different things without the need to do them all yourself.
If you see something you are interested in, you get a first impression and then you can decide if you buy/build/order it...

If you are working out with a training partner, look for one who pushes you, who can push you with the necessary amount of rationality, who knows how far to go and when to stop!
If your training partner is always unmotivated, is always finishing before he/she even breaks a sweat... Dump him/her!
Find someone who encourages you to go beyond your self set borders and improve as a human being!

Just yesterday i did a challenge from the fighter-fitness-forum:
Military Press Challenge
-10min
-a 16kg Kettlebell
-no putting it down
-as many military presses in the given time frame as possible.
I banged out 190 reps, because i knew i had to give it all i got to keep up with the guys there!



"People adopt the colours of their surroundings."
We can´t ignore that.
So make sure you define the surroundings!!

Enjoy life, Train hard and train smart!
All the best,
