Eye of the Tiger

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!

– Rocky Balboa

For Valentines Day my M bought me the Rocky Collection and just so you know, I have loved those movies for as long as I can remember.  I really cant describe it but there is something about the music in Rocky also that makes you feel like you can run a marathon or take down giant. When I was younger I remember me and my dad boxing in the living room as soon as it went off.  Sometimes even today I will Listen to the soundtrack while working out or watch the movie just to get my mindset on working out.

Coming up with this Q for today I knew I wanted to incorporate a Rocky theme.  I began to let my creative juices flow and came up with a fun and challenging workout for my fellow PAX

YHC reminded everyone that with all the battles that we face in life, we never fight alone. God stands with us the whole time, pushing and encouraging us to stay fighting.  The best news of all is that the greatest battle has already been won, Death has been defeated!

  • A lot of Pax were eager to get this one started knowing that it was a Rocky Themed Beatdown. Everybody seemed to really enjoy it with all the positive mumble chatter.
  • Happy Birthday to Woodpecker! What a great way to spend the start of your birthday. Most people would have probably Fartsacked but Woodpecker is a reliable PAX who will more than always be there(Except when its Raining)
  • Lite Brite and Flossy were very close to finishing Drago but unfortunately time just ran out. YHC had planned on Drago being at least 8 Minutes but time became a factor. You two guys pushed it though so Tclaps!
  • During CoP,  YHC threw in some new Warmups which the PAX enjoed.   We are Not Worthy, was a favorite and will definitely be used again
  • Every PAX busted their butt to win each match and even though some fell a little short, you guys pushed it and went the distance.
  • Pooh Bear even pushed so hard to beat Clubber Lang that he broke his coupon after pushing out over head presses.
  • YHC will put this one in his back pocket to use later on again to see the progress everybody has made.

Thank you guys for coming out and giving your all time and time again.  It really means a lot for a  Que to hear that he is doing a great job so always continue to encourage other Ques like you do me.

Until next time,

YO!!  ADRIAN!!!
