  This is dedicated to those of us who have been lifting a long time: Don't judge me based on what I lifted in the gym today, I know my body and am wise enough to not push my limits right now. Don't judge me because I refuse to do endurance work, I am adrenally exhausted and won't kick that dead horse anymore. Don't judge me because I am not ultra lean, I am toxic and fighting disease and my body will not shed the fat till it heals. Do judge me because I have spent 20 years in the gym and lifted heavy loads that you will only dream of lifting. Do judge me because I have done ball busting, endurance work that would make the best cross fitter cry. Do judge me because for years I kept my body fat at the level of an elite athlete.

So by all means judge me, but don't judge me on just today. For champions are not made in a day or a week or even a year, true champions are made over a lifetime full of challenges, victories and defeats. Judge me on my lifetime of achievements and the fact that I am in the gym today in spite of everything and I will be in the gym for many years to come.

Hey Jrod,
Thank you for the special mention. Love the blog and this quote: "For champions are not made in a day or a week or even a year, true champions are made over a lifetime full of challenges, victories and defeats"
