At six foot one and only 130 pounds, Jordan was very thin and not in good shape. He smoked a lot and felt embarrassed when he first went to the gym. Despite the initial humiliation of needing help with weights and struggling to lift even 65 pounds, Jordan persisted. He knew that starting with manageable weights was crucial to avoid injury, even if it felt frustrating at the beginning. Jordan talks about the importance of gradual progress and not comparing yourself to others who have been lifting for years. By staying within his limits and consistently pushing himself, he avoided injuries and gradually improved his strength. His dedication paid off, and over three years, Jordan gained 35 pounds of muscle while at university. He emphasizes that it’s essential to focus on what you can do and build from there rather than trying to match others right away. The video serves as an encouraging reminder that everyone starts somewhere, and the key to success is persistence and smart training. Jordan's story is a testament to how patience and consistent effort can lead to significant improvement. For anyone feeling overwhelmed at the gym or starting a new fitness journey, his experience provides valuable insights and motivation. ★ BOOKS ★ • Momentum: https://amzn.to/3kJZIAv • Build to Serve: https://amzn.to/3XZiCSg • Your One Word: https://amzn.to/3R9qVII • The Top 10 Rules for Success: https://amzn.to/3JcNZVe • 254 Confidence: https://amzn.to/3jdh9c2 ★ RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU ★ If you liked this video, you'll love these ones: • Evan Carmichael’s Top 10 Rules for Success - https://youtu.be/rePlYbzByxg • Why People Fail: You Won't Believe This Simple Reason - https://youtu.be/1-H6hl1UEZY • HABITS that CHANGED my LIFE - https://youtu.be/NqvMxE5MvMA ⚑
