Want motivation? If you do something like burpees for a month, you’re almost guaranteed to look better. “I really want to be healthier” is probably the biggest bullshit line I’ve EVER heard in my life, and I’m none too young.

You have given me my million-dollar idea: a nationwide chain of GripGyms, where people will stand around anxiously just gripping things and waiting for random scary shit to happen like the floor to fall away or a tornado-force wind machine to kick in. Also they can carry shopping home for people, who will ALSO pay me.

Along with the straps, get rid of those fucking gloves. Calluses never hurt anybody.
