Erik and Aaron discuss consistency and if you want to see real results if anything you're doing you need to be consistent at it. Being successful, seeing results don't happen over night, it takes being consistent and pushing your limits to see real results.

Erik sits down with Aaron to talk about Disparagement. It's a common problem and it's especially bad in the hunting community. Why discredit someone for their accomplishments, or are you just jealous you didn't put in the work as they did. Everyone can make excuses but it's the people that constantly grind and put in the work to be successful. So the next time you're bringing someone down, think about what you're saying and reevaluate what you're doing.1st Phorm App: https://www.1stphorm.app/MuleyfreakMegaWatt Link: https://1stphorm.com/products/megawatt/?a_aid=MuleyfreakPost-Workout Stack: https://1stphorm.com/products/post-workout-stack/?a_aid=MuleyfreakMeat Sticks: https://1stphorm.com/products/protein-sticks/?a_aid=MuleyfreakPrivate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/muleyfreak/
