In Frame Vol. 9: Presence and Progress

I stood on the red rock—solid, immovable, carved by time. It wasn’t going anywhere. Neither was I, not in that moment.

Behind it, Pike’s Peak towered above everything. Snow capped, unreachable in an instant, but calling me all the same.

That’s the Musclebuilder paradox.

Root yourself in the now. Presence. Discipline. Daily reps. Bricks stacked one by one. No foundation, no future.

But keep the peak in sight. Progress. Vision. The summit that pulls you higher.

Presence without progress? Standing still.

Progress without presence? Chasing shadows.

The Musclebuilder balances both. Grounded in the rock, climbing toward the peak.

Anchors down. Anchors up.

P.S. Pike’s Peak calls. The summit awaits. Don’t just look at it—climb.
