Strength in all things is important.  Strength in all times is important as well.  The world is going through some strange and trying times right now.  We cannot forget that we can approach these times with strength.  In the gym we learn proactivity over reactivity.  Consistency, discipline, sacrifice are the things we learn in the gym.  Right now we are all being tested and there can be an inclination to set aside these lessons.  These lessons are still true though, holding these lessons up, that is how we stay strong in all times and in all ways.

Every week I spend a lot of time reading and looking for new ways to get stronger, healthier and more awesome.  Here are some of the best things I have found this week.
