why "Bring the Pain"...

"I've never met a strong person with an easy past" 

As with most thing's I do, there's always meaning. For my first tee shirt I wanted to breakthrough with a little bit of a motivational delivery. In life we all go through so much struggle and at times pain. Whether it be an emotional pain, a physical pain due to injury or illness.. if we make it through that pain 99.999 percent of the time we are a lot stronger and wiser than we went into it with. We all have our journey's and along the way, this shirt is symbolic of saying we aren't afraid of what's to come. We will overcome and prosper. 

In fitness Pain is almost unavoidable. in the middle of every workout we feel a sense of pain whether it be through the muscle fatigue, through our endurance reaching it's peak and pushing our capabilities further and further toward strength. In the recovery; strength, power, efficiency, and speed are being built propelling us that much closer to the better, stronger, faster version of ourselves. The pain is that threshold that we look for in order to know "it's working" 

Many who know me personally also know that I am a BIG Wu-Tang Clan fan. Method Man is easily my favorite MC of all time. Along my fitness journey music has been my best friend along the way and while I was working on my weightloss I would replay "Bring The Pain" before many many workouts to get me in the zone.. it became ritual! The beat, the delivery... it's all I needed!!  

Bring The Pain... we'll overcome!
