DukeTheSlaya's Journey to Overhead Pressing Like a God

I’m fairly certain you’ve showed some sort of a pattern of screw ups at school. I doubt this was the first time you didn’t finish an assignment or demonstrated incompetence in a particular subject area. Is that fair to say? If that is fair to say, you’re a fool to blame the school, your aunty, or anyone else for your shortcomings. You’re triggered because you don’t get to eat whatever the fuck you want? I lol’ed. First off, tell that to the dude that works 40-70 hours a week to feed a family. And while you’re at it, you can whine to him about how you shouldn’t be penalized ‘so harshly’ for not getting your shit done. You know what happens if he doesn’t complete an assignment at work? His ass is out of a job, he doesn’t take a paycheck home, and he doesn’t feed his family. You know what happens if I don’t complete assignments? My company goes bankrupt, and every employee I’m responsible for can’t feed their families. Poor duke. Doesn’t get to eat his bodybuilder diet for a week. How do you think guys in jail get ripped? How about broke college kids? Hell, have you seem me talk about what I eat?

As usual, this is my tough love. Drop the excuses, never blame others for your failures, and work harder.

I was trying to think of a response to defend myself but there is nothing to defend against, this is great kick up the ass advice.

Damn, I’m off the site for a few days sick, and shit got real for you, man. It definitely sounds like you’re getting the right advice and a good dose of perspective, though. You’re going to find yourself stronger at the end of all this. There’s more to strength than what you build with your body, and that’s an important lesson to learn, too.

Thanks alot man!, i cant wait till schools done and dusted and i can go into the workforce, i mean i probably wont be thinking that when i work 12 hours a day or something but i really have hated school all my life and id much rather work. Living on a farm most my life (not now) since im living with my aunty in the city, i still preferred working on the farm to going to school even if it was scraping sheep shit from under the shearing sheds for 10 hour days.

Hey guys, so today is my cake day. One year of T Nation! Awesome.
