Corollaries


1) It's all easy til it's Heavy.


2) If you're bored , it's not heavy enough.


3) If you seek your limits you will find them.


4) The next step off a peak is always down.


5) One should step down rather than fall off.


6) What you see depends on where you stand.


7) The higher you climb the farther you see.


8) Simple don't mean easy.


9) Avoid random acts of variety.

10) Start at your goal and work backwards.
11) The more injured people are, the better they listen.
12) It's a meal, not a party.

13) You train for sport, you dont do sport to train.

14) If you keep doing what you did you keep getting what you got.
