A question often posed to me is, “How do I take my training to the next level?”  The following is my answer:

1)    You have to possess the mental will to push beyond the normal pain barrier.  I am not talking about pain from injury, rather the burning and discomfort produced by high intensity training.  A huge part of what separates those who are successful from those who are not is the ability to push themselves beyond their comfort zone on a regular basis.

2)    Passion.  You have to have a passion for your training.  A burning desire to succeed!

3)    Consistency is another huge component to training success.  Consistency in your diet as well as training is a requisite for extraordinary results.
