This was not child abuse.

My 14 yr old brother was tired of having 0 confidence.

He thought he was way BELOW average.

Now, he's known for being stronger than most grown men.

He took these 3 steps to finally be proud of something he accomplished.

/ VIDEO STORY THREAD /
Step 1: Learn by doing

He had every reason to be embarrassed.

0 experience, 0 muscle, 0 confidence.

But instead, he took action.

With help from me and @TheJackBly he learned to lift by going to the gym and LIFTING.

There is no way around hard work.
He started to progress faster than he ever expected.

He was getting the hang of it.

Finally, he built up enough confidence to max-out for the first time.

In front of world record holding lifters, he grinded out a 205 deadlift.

That moment lit a fire under his ass.
Step 2: Go all in

Angel started to realize what he was capable of.

He could actually change how he looked.

More importantly, he could take actions that changed how he FELT about himself.

There was no going back to his old life of excuses & low confidence.

Step 3: Raise the standard

Listen closely.

On July 4th, Angel's yearly goal was to deadlift 235lbs.

But at first he had no idea how profoundly his actions would impact the person he could become.

No he's blown his own mind with what he's accomplished.
Adding 110 lbs to his deadlift in 6 months,

Angel is now one of the handful of middle schoolers in the world who can deadlift 335 lbs.

And the physical strength he's gained has translated to strength in every other area of his life outside of the gym.
This transformation was more about WHO HE WAS than the physical strength he gained.

Simply taking action can lead to unimaginable progress in every area of life.
If you find Angel's story motivating, retweet this thread.

It could be the spark someone needs to take action and finally become proud of the person they see in the mirror.
