Exercise Quote by Stuart McRobert
““people have the perseverance to stay the course (drug-free) before “seeing the light.” Nearly all of them will give up training, or resort to “staying in shape.” There’s nothing wrong with training to “stay in shape,” if that’s what you want. But if big and strong muscles are what matter to you, to resign yourself to “staying in shape” is a disaster.””
