I was just on a Pling web sight, and read an article ‘’ 7 signs your weak ‘’ Anyway a couple of them made me laugh, but one was, ‘’ if your counting calories, and macros ‘’ it made me think of your log, and how since you’ve loosened up your diet, you’ve had a boost in strength. It was a poke fun, type article, but some were pretty relevant, ‘’ if you spend more time on prehab, than on actuall lifting ‘’ or ‘’ if you time when you take your supplements, down to the minute ‘’ I see alot of this stuff going on now days, around my gym, and such.
I think your on the right track lately, focus on putting more weight on the bar, and let everything else take care of it’s self. i guess it all comes down to goals, and what your real focus is. Anyway latter[/quote]
People get really pissed at me when I tell them that all they need to do is eat a healthier version of hamburger helper, and to lift smarter. Most people train hard as hell, they just don’t do the work properly (hit depth, or touch their chest on bench, etc) or have a plan.
I have had two people insist that they train with me. I keep progressing, and they stall, and stall, and fail reps, and stall some more. The difference? I show up every day with numbers I want to hit, and knowing how I feel/where I should push or back off. They have no clue. They think they are just going to do what I do and POOF…100 lbs to their deadlift haha. I also take them to eat and let them order first. They usually get something “healthy” like a salad or some shit because they just “exercised.” I go for the carbs and lean meat, and just pound skim milk.
Neither of them have put those two simple things together. It amazes me, especially when I tell them that GOMAD with skim milk is cheap and works. One guy said he couldn’t afford a gallon of milk every day, yet he buys a 4 dollar shake with 25 grams of protein EVERY TIME WE GO TO THE GYM haha.
