Black magic dura gains

In light of this:

I’m going to call a huge ditto to this wonderful post:

Seriously. Work your tail off in the gym first. Optimize your routine. Hit your workouts, eat healthy, prioritize sleep and do all of that consistently for a long time and then worry about extra supplements beyond the standards like creatine and Surge and the like (except this one. I honestly don’t think it’s worth it and wouldn’t look twice at it, personally).

If you ask a question, be open to learning something from other people. If you want to do your own thing, don’t ask–sure beats posting and then “well I’m doing it my way anyway.” There’s things I don’t ask here because I’m already set in my ways and I don’t need other opinions (respectfully), but when I ask things here I really want to learn and hear from others smarter than me. Not that I have to do what everyone else says, but being open and teachable and respectful to people you ask questions to goes a long way.

Are you familiar with the “sunk cost fallacy”?

“The sunk cost fallacy is our tendency to follow through with something that we’ve already invested heavily in (be it time, money, effort, or emotional energy), even when giving up is clearly a better idea.”
