1) How can I wake up earlier, I struggle to get up as it? 2) What are your thoughts on smoking (on nights out for example)? 3) How can I stop being bullied? 4) I'm spending over an hour in the gym, how long should my sessions be? 5) My question, therefore, is how does one break through the mindset of accepting mediocrity as a baseline(ie. 'I've been good enough today so I deserve this')and excel to get nutrition and training on point simultaneously?
