Take some "Me" Time

August 4, 2011 By Gregor Winter

The following is an excerpt from Jim Wendler’s “531: The Simplest and Most Effective Training System for Raw Strength”

You already give 8-10 hours a day to your boss and to your work.

To boredom and to people and organizations that couldn’t care less about you. Then your family and friends get the rest of your time.

What about you? Do you really think so little of yourself that you can’t sacrifice an hour or two, 3-4 days a week, for yourself? This “me” time isn’t spent shopping, watching TV or getting on the internet. You’re spending it reinvesting in your body, building strength, and building character.

Kicking ass and training consistently – and with some balance – will do wonders for both your body and your mind.

Get rid of all the meaningless crap in your life and your training. Get rid of the things that bleed your energy in the weight room and in life.
