Quoting Socrates/Plato in a gym article is the definition of badass. I also love how tangible your improvements are in the gym. It’s easier to measure progress in the gym than in other areas of life – and I think that in itself is valuable. You can count how many more reps you do/how much more weight you’re lifting/how far you’re running. But you…
