Motivation can come from a lot of different places, some internal and some external.

Driven by Fear
Jan 14
I’ve just hit a point where it occurs to me that I’ve never really gone into much detail as to what exactly I do when it comes to lifting, conditioning and all of that happy nonsense that keeps me fit and sane… or at least as sane as I’m ever going to get. I do [...]
