Weekly Inspiration: Fight Club



In my top ten forsure...



This week's motivational force (and a recurring one) is one of my favorite movies: Fight Club! It's a deeper film than what people give credit for but this blog's not for movie talk. I guess a big reason why I like this film so much is because of Pitt's character, Tyler Durden, pretty much one of the sickest bad asses ever created. Aside from that though, I guess I feel a connection with Pitt/Durden because we have that similar Ectomorphic body type.

Creating mini-goals along the way makes things easier and more rewarding, and I suppose, this will always be my first (and a pretty damn respectable) measuring point. I say my first because I think it's the closest physique I am to. I see this very reasonable and I'm sure by the beginning of summer I'll get it; we (Pitt/Durden and I) are very similar, physically speaking.



Bad Ass...Note: get some more tanks and some chin hair...
