We all say it....LIFT! It is at the very core of MRP. It is the cornerstone on which we build our strategy.

And somehow, at the start of my journey, I thought I would do other exercises and diet and somehow it would work out ok for me.

I was wrong. And I realised it and owned that shit and now, three months later, I can wholeheartedly tell any noob, LIFT!

The results, sofar, I am still building on years of inactivity, I have made good progress, both mentaly and physically.

And the unexpected benefit? I used to be an insomniac. Now I sleep. I hit the pillow and I sleep, and wake up before my alarm clock. I lie in bed and stretch, drink some water and then leap out of bed or onto my wife.

Previously, I would wake up at 2AM and just lie there and start up the hamster wheel. I would lie there agonizing and analysing my relationship with my wife. These thoughts would dominate my nightly routine of slumberless tossing and turning. Untill I eventually get up, start snacking and watching some mindless shit on tv or porn. Sleep would return at about 04h30, to be rudely interupted by an alarm clock. Ugh. This has not happened once since I started lifting.

I don't presume to know the scientific reason behind it, but my thinking is that my body now just shuts down to sleep, and in no way will a squeaky hamster wheel stand in the way. As I said, not very scientific but the body must be taxed in some way to function properly.

So, do you lift bro?
