The chain driven Nautilus machines are getting harder and harder to find and their value is only going up because no one has come close to duplicating the rotary cams Arthur Jones created although many have tried, I'm very fortunate to now have 12 early Nautilus machines along with 9 MedX machines the two companies founded by Arthur

A great machine is hard to find in most gyms today and some of the best ever built are getting harder to find, but I wanted to share what few know which is the value of these rare machines the picture is of a Nautilus Super Pullover machine I saw listed for sale and coincidentally it's the exact same model that we have in our gym, unfortunately the fitness business like the medical business put profits before people

Learn to let go if it isn't good

We like to pretend that turning calendar pages means we are moving forward.

But time is a terrible eraser.

If an old memory still makes your chest tight or your blood boil, it is not history.

It is your current reality, actively shaping your decisions today.

As the saying goes, "The past is not past if it bothers you in the present."

Are we ever truly capable of leaving the past behind, or do we just get better at ignoring it?

A great plan!

A man who thinks he has reached his prime has already started declining.

There should never be a point in your life where you decide you have learned enough, grown enough, prayed enough, or become disciplined enough.

There will always be another weakness in your character that needs attention. Another skill you haven't mastered. Another level of discipline you haven't developed. Another lesson God can teach you.

The man you are today should not be the same man you are five years from now.

Not because who you are today is worthless, but because God gave you the ability to learn, adapt, mature, and become wiser with time.

Your body will age. Your circumstances will change. Some doors will close and others will open.

But your willingness to grow should never die.

At 30, keep learning.

At 40, keep learning.

At 60, keep learning.

As long as God gives you another day, there is still something you can improve, something you can understand better, and someone you can become stronger for.

There is no prime.

Keep evolving until God calls you home.

The breathing, the effort, the intensity, going to momentary muscular failure, this is what weight training should look like, hard brief and intense, the best way to stimulate strength and muscle growth
