Yes…few people train at a level that does justice to the goals they claim to pursue.
You must do what others won’t, to achive what others don’t.
Happy to see people understand what I was trying to say. Sometimes for all my verbage I am not as clear as I hope to be in my effort to explain.
We all know guys who walk into the gym and bench 315, squat 405, and pull 500lbs their first time there. These guys have a natural aptitude towards lifting and being big mofo’s regardless of their height. Those are the outliers, the .01% with that gift.
You have another group who will run the proper diet, never miss a workout (even when sick or injured), and never break form their routine, and will more than likely be an outlier by a few pounds - again, the .01%.
For those who diet and work hard, cheat occasionally, miss a workout or two, and may not have access to or utilize all of the “secrets” of lifting, they can achieve a fine level of development that will make the average joe think he’s “on” or a master of the iron. That would still be the 1%.
Aspire to be the best, and if you have the drive, see where you can go. Just be sure to stop back in these forums and share your journey, where you started, and where you got to, so others can learn from your blood, sweat, and tears along the way. We’re all brothers in iron.
