Now, this is a redefinition I wanted to highlight.

I've been working with Marko Pavasovic three times per week for a little over two years and he is by far my most consistent client to date. The "before" pictures are somewhat misleading. Before starting the redefinition process, Marko was already in pretty good shape. Even though there was some nutritional adherence present before, we didn't track anything, so during these 18 weeks, we only had to expose what we've built over the aforementioned time. Working with super-focused and driven people like Marko almost guarantees success and makes the trainer's job so much easier. He lost 13 pounds and around the same body fat percentage with minimal drop in performance. This is a result that is very hard to repeat and is something to strive for.

Accepting 2 more private clients. Skill level, bodyfat percentage and similar stuff are of no importance to me. Only attitude counts.

I know some of you trainers and gym owners out there often hear this nonsense - It's easy for you to say, you train all the time, you have your own thing, look at all the equipment you have, blah blah... Now, if you repeat this slowly and let it sink in, it will sound different, won't it?

Nothing was easy for me. Ever. Honestly, I wouldn't mind a little wind at my back, but all things considered, it turned out pretty good. Ironically, and speaking mostly figuratively - free stuff often comes with a price, be it character development, imposed expectation or some other kind of repercussion later on. People tend to manipulate that thought and say that the best things in life are free. I especially "like" this one - Look at nature, it takes care of itself.

Yeah, try to live in nature. Truly.

Maybe the best things in life are free, but the worst ones are too if you want to look at things in black & white. But that's not the point. I guess the takeaway here is - try to do and experience as much as possible with the things you have now without comparing yourself to others. And slowly and smartly build upon it without sacrificing your integrity or vision. With struggle comes the richness of experience, the catharsis of accomplishment, and the gift of growth. Don't shy away from the battle, but train your eye to know how to pick one.
