4-year difference
This journey with my body has not been easy. I have had to defeat my self-doubt every single day just to be capable. I lost interest in the aesthetics over decade ago and decided to strive for functionality. In my mind, it was like the day that I realized that opportunity was more important than the amount of money I could make, and time was a more important currency. If I could perform at a superior level, the aesthetics would follow. Hypertrophy (the gains) became second nature.
My body now represents transcendence. It's not just a fitness but a representation of my journey as whole. I chose a very unconventional way to live, and it has paid dividends that I couldn't have imagined. I am always seeking improvements, but I don't allow those improvements to overcome my will to live a life of peace. Through all the ci**rs and bottles of tequila, I transcend and continue to elevate my mental and push my limitations.
