Keep Moving Dirt

There’s a big white flag in the gym depicting a large shovel and a spoon.

It represents a powerful saying about training.

It was introduced to me years ago by former NFL player and strength training enthusiast, John Welbourn. His quote reads, “Training is like moving a pile of dirt. Some days you move a shovel full, other days you move just a spoonful. Either way, if you moved some dirt, you’re headed in the right direction.”

Not all training sessions will be heroic. So long as you moved some dirt, you accomplished something, and took your training in the right direction.
