caution as they are very powerful!

      I feel that life is a beautiful struggle. I remember the days when I was just a seventeen-year-old teenager. I was skinny with no muscles on my bones and with only enough power to lift no more than thirty kilograms in a deadlift and no more than ten kilograms with my biceps. I felt weak and unhappy, constantly saying to myself that a man should provide and protect. From that point on, I realized I wanted a change in my life and that I would not quit until I had what I wanted. I wished for a better and stronger body. I changed my mindset by saying something to myself every time I did a chest press, deadlift, biceps curl, or whatever else I was currently doing in the gym. I constantly said to myself, “I’m failing all my dreams and my entire life will be a mess if this weight does not go up.” What happened next was amazing. Every time the weights went up, my power and body changed dramatically. It all took time, but now exactly ten years later at the age of twenty-seven, a fifty-kilogram biceps curl is no problem for me. I can also perform a deadlift of more than 150 kilograms and I owe it all to seventeen-year-old me for making the effort to change my old way of thinking. I realized that if I can do it with my mind and my body, I can change my reality and make my dreams come true.
