M3:D94 Determination

I realized as I was listening that he lacked the determination to get the job done.  Things are not easy, but you tell yourself you can get the job done and you will. That's what determination is all about.  You refusing to give up.  Taking on the challenge that is presented to you each time you enter the gym.  Being consistent with your planned workouts. 

Adding weight is never something easy, but when done correctly it stretches you.  You move to a different level each time you add weight.  If you have determination you will tell yourself that you are going to get the weight up and get the set done.  If you lack that determination you might not even try to add weight in the first place.  This will lead to stagnation as you make no progress in your lifting program.
