Animal is...
I walked into the gym today in an Animal shirt, with my Animal gym bag and Animal hat. Caught myself in the mirror and wondered, what’s it all about? I’m not sponsored, so what’s it all represent?
I hit squats today for the first time in over 4 months due to various injuries. Had a great start and got real hungry to get my numbers back up just after one day using less than my usual warm up. That’s what sets me apart. The Animal hunger. The desire to be more than I am. Not settling for my place at the table. Pain is the Animal currency. Dreams don’t come cheap. The others fear pain. Today the bar felt way heavier than it should have. But that’s just the iron letting me know my place. It woke something up in me. It didn’t slap me down. That’s Animal. Challenge accepted. Other people stop when it gets difficult, but that’s where the Animal gets started.
What does Animal mean to you?
