This week was another week of normal workouts for me.  Nothing impressive was accomplished.  I stepped forward though and got a little stronger, a little more muscular, and a little more fit.  This week I was consistent with my workouts, and that was about it.  Consistent was all I needed to be this week.

Consistency is the number one skill needed to get stronger.  Even when you feel like you’re not doing much to get better, if you’re being consistent then you’re on the path still.

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.
