How I overcame constantly starting from scratch with my fitness journey…

When I was 13/14 sitting in my chair, not having ever done any real exercises and wishing I had started and it just got me upset so much.
-
-
-
I just wanted to change, I just wanted to stand out somewhat. I didn’t want to continue on with this version of myself. So I started but I was starting from scratch…
-

So I started running, just to get fucking moving, and doing some ab circuits here and there but it was a start… and I was proud of myself to get the ball rolling.

Then highschool came along and the first time I really saw a real weight room.. and I had to start from scratch I had to learn how to utilize these weights to turn myself into who I knew I could be.

I was making progress learning more and more and then boom..my senior year of highschool snapped fibula, crouches 4 months straight, PT for 3 months. And to be completely honest though the injury was bad, a fire lit up inside me that knew when I came back this was just the beginning….I squatted 315lbs for the first time in my life 3 months after. But I started from scratch…roger that.

Fast forward to college…I had never played rugby in my life, so I started from scratch I was never great at it, but I put in effort to learn as much as I could and I had a fucking blast but it was because I wasn’t afraid to start from scratch…roger that

Then I started my online training business about a year and a half ago and I started from scratch again knew nothing about it.

At this point now in my life being unfamiliar with something doesn’t scare me it excites the shit out of me actually learning something new that I know absolutely nothing about. I love being a student and I won’t stop learning about lifting or anything that peeks my interest.

If you don’t start loving starting from scratch your growth is behind hindered by so much . SO STOP BEING SCARED OF STARTING FROM SCRATCH!! You want something go learn from someone who has done it before or start learning more about it and become obsessed with it.
