Today, I'm diving into why weightlifting sucks sometimes. The other times, it's absolutely awesome and teaches you so many life lessons. Things may not go according to plan. There's injuries, setbacks, days you don't feel like training, and everything in between. When you're having a bad time, this episode goes into why you need to look at how far you've come and why you need to keep going.
