Twitter kinda sucks….
I mean, think about it: You have a private conversation but in public?
But, it’s not completely worthless.
There are TONS of fitness info tweets and articles that are on there everyday. Which has cut down the time it takes me to go though finding articles so I’m on it a lot.
Here’s just a random list of some of the best tweets I’ve come across over the last few weeks:

Don’t forget the purpose of training is to make the athlete, not make them tired.

No struggle = no muscle. No sweat = no fat loss. No work = no reward. Love that about fitness. If only the rest of society worked that way.
