 People tend to give advice out without being asked. They do it in alot of ways—some intentional and some unintentional. This is where they reveal whether or not they do what they say through the advice they give. I believe that the most important thing for your credibility is if you talk it, you’d better walk it. What the heck does that mean? Simple. If you say things should be a certain way, you need to be sure you live that way. If you preach about getting in shape, you’d better get yourself in shape. If you fail to do so your credibility will be non-existent. This may not matter to some people, but I am sure it matters to most people. The fact is that maintaining your credibility is a matter of having integrity. One reason people start accountability blogs is so that others can see what they are up to and hold them accountable. To me it means that if I put it out there I’d better live up to the standards I set. Even the Bible tells us that if we expect higher standards of other people, those will be the standards by which we ourselves will be judged. Thus, you have to do the things you say you are going to do. You must stick to your plans because you’ve put them in writing and published them for the world to see. You must stick to your workout plan because you put it out there for the world to see. That’s what accountability is really all about. You do what you say you are going to do. Take some time to think about it today. Make the necessary changes. You won’t be sorry. |

 Mike’s Workout Log: 
Matty’s Workout Log: Today was interesting because it involved some things that we hadn’t experienced before during this program. There were alot of body weight exercises (dips, push ups) and for the first time, we did 2 sets of certain exercises. The workout started with a bench press to the neck. This is different from a normal bench press. You start with a wider grip and bring it down right above your neck. It works the upper part of your chest. I personally feel that decline bench press would have been more effective, but this is what the plan calls for and I want to see if it works properly. We worked to our maximum effort throughout the entire workout. Matty had some trouble at first understanding the negatives on the dips. It was an alien concept to him and at first he used the dreaded term “I can’t do this” until I showed him that he could do a complete dip (which includes negatives) and he figured out what was missing from his technique. |

 Never say you can’t do something because you won’t ever be right about that. |
