Hi,,

What's Your Excuse?

If you're not getting where you want to go, there's a reason for it. And if you're completely honest with yourself it has nothing to do with your boss, kids, friends, husband, wife, sister, mother, customer or that crazy sob that cut you off in traffic the other day.

It's none of these things.

I have a friend who isn't reaching her goals and she's frustrated about it. She tells me she really, really, really, really wants to get in shape! She wants to know why she isn't losing weight.

I can tell you (and I told her) exactly why she isn't losing any weight. Excuses. She has a million of them.

What's Your Excuse?

Whatever it is, decide right now to ACCEPT NO EXCUSES. No BS, No Excuses.

A lot of people prefer a good excuse to a good opportunity.

And the problem with good excuses is they have the foundation of truth in them.

Excuses reinforce limitations.

Nobody ever got fit (or rich, or promoted, etc.) making excuses.

You need to start holding yourself accountable for your actions. This is not easy to do, especially in today's society where the cool thing to do nowadays is blame everyone and anyone else for your own shortcomings and failures. But you don't get anywhere by accident. Whether you are fit or obese, you got there due to an accumulation of choices you've made throughtout your life.

You'll find that the more successful you become with your fitness plan, the less likely you are to make excuses. Sure, others will always try and make them for you and unknowingly (or knowingly, in some cases) try to sabotage all your efforts. It really helps to surround yourself with fitness and success minded individuals, not people who will try and keep you down at their level.

And speaking of no excuses, despite my shoulder injury, I'm continuing to train. It has taken some experimentation, but I've come up with a routine I can use without shoulder pain.

I found out earlier in the week that I can do deadlifts without shoulder paing. I think I will do a deadlift and squat program of 10 sets of 5 reps with 1 minute's rest between sets. This way, even though the last few sets will be brutal, the overall weight will not be that heavy so it will take some stress off my shoulder on the deadlifts. I think I'll workout every other day like this:

Squats or Deadlifts (alternate each workout) 10 x 5 Pushups - work up to 200 as many sets as it takes with 1 minute rest between sets. This includes a variety of pushups such as feet elevated, pushups between chairs, etc. Dumbbell Curls Dumbbell Hammer Curls Tricep Pressdowns

It's not the best workout but none of them hurt my shoulder and if I work really hard on the squats and deadlifts, I may even be able to gain some muscle.

Have a great week,!

No BS, No Excuses,

Gregg Gillies
