Don't Find Influence in Others

Joe, i love following you on instagram (@joedon- nellyfit). You seem like a person of intense and con- sistent motivation. My question to you is how do i prevent lulls in my levels of motivation?

What should i focus on or stay away from when looking for consistent motivation? Thank you in advance.

The Whey to go for Fat Loss

The classic physique is defined by large muscle bellies accentuated by small joints and, most importantly, a small waist with virtually no abdominal fat. The routine approach to obtain the classic look involves hardcore weight training to build lean muscle, combined with restricted caloric intake to burn body fat.
