They see the physique. The strength. The fitness.
But they don’t see the grind.
Like an iceberg, they only see what’s visible.
They don’t see those hidden reps.
They don’t see you getting to the gym every day. The food choosing and prepping. The early bedtimes.
The discipline.
But you know.
You know those hidden reps are what matter.
You know it’s not possible without toiling away in the shadows.
Those hidden reps do more for you than you realize.
It’s not about praise, admiration, or the way she likes to feel your chest (although those things are nice, don’t get me wrong!).
It’s about building something—your body. Your mind. Your spirit.
It’s about becoming a better man. A more capable man. A man others aspire to be.
So toil away in the shadows…and build something that stands the test of space and time.
