Motivation is good for getting you enthusiastic and getting something started. Discipline is what keeps you going when the motivation fades. You need both in my opinion.
Nine years ago I had some serious undiagnosed health problems. I went from fit and adventurous to weighing just six stone and unable to get out of bed. I went through the abusive relationship thing...
I'm a tiny female (strong for my size but really tiny) and I've been training karate for 5 years and have 7 months of Muay Thai and BJJ experience. This is purely anecdotal, but it might give some...
Will the stream be showing any of the side events (grappling, boxing, etc), or just the bodybuilding? Just wondering whether it's worth tuning in really early to see the other stuff.

I experienced massive weight gain on microgynon, but I wasn't on that for long - I got taken off it because I get migraines. The weight fell back off instantly and I returned to my normal...
I have a pizza + garlic bread every friday night. That's my cheat, and I love it. The rest of the time I don't touch fast food at all. Even when I'm on the road - I either find a "proper"...
