What Would Arnold Do?

When you begin to doubt yourself, when you begin to falter, when you are so exhausted you don't think you can raise your arms anymore, just ask yourself, "What would Arnold do?"

That is what this blog is all about. Pushing ourselves beyond expectations. Beyond long held beliefs. Beyond imagination.

We all hold an amazing amount of ability - we just need to harness it and apply it.

This blog is all about pushing ourselves to the next level while motivating those around us.

What would Arnold do? Arnold would CRUSH IT!! No questions asked. That's what Arnold would do!

This blog is for everyone to make a contribution. Do we do what Arnold would do? What do we do?

What do you do?

The day started out slow and chilly at an early 6 A.M. to go to a swap meet at in upstate CT to look for different car-parts. Although I did go miles without finding a single car part I needed, I did find one thing that peaked my curiosity and interest; two extra rear-end / differential sets for my car. This included one full rear (the housing, two forged axles, two full sets of brakes including the drums, forged gears, and a cast center section holding the gears . . . all steel) and an additional center section holding the gears. I bought it all cheap, couldn’t pass it up, but when it came time to load it up on the truck I had to wait for my dad to back the truck all the way down the isle to then hoist up the complete rear end, and then the center section, but then I thought deep inside and questioned, “What Would Arnold Do?” So I bent my knees, grabbed the housing with all the components inside picked it up, and proceeded to curl my arms so I had the entire unit up in the air away from my body, then proceeded to walk several hundred feet to the truck. Pain and fatigue? I thought to myself again, Arnold doesn’t know those feelings. So I hoisted the complete rear end up onto the truck, went back to get the center section and repeat the process. My dad said, “If you had only waited 5 minutes I could have saved you a bunch of energy.” . . . . but Arnold wouldn’t have waited either!
