The Principle Aim of Strength Training, The Authentic Heart

Reflection from Rob McNamara (a friend of mine over at gaia.com)

“Strength training is fundamentally not interested in getting you stronger, getting more muscle or getting in shape. To follow these common side effects, or to chase after these often worshipped conventional benefits is to be confused at a very basic level. Strength training is fundamentally invested not in you getting somewhere, but in you growing in your capacity to be here right now. This is the principle aim of this discipline. To miss this essential point is to miss everything. Now lift to discover the fullness of who you are right now, train to embrace your most essential freedom.”
