THE OLD SCHOOL WAY

Don't get me started on all these "Studies that show....." and the "my genetics..." excuses I hear from a lot of people!

You can study yourself into excuse after excuse not to try hard in your training til you study yourself into a hole! Theory = B.S.! What you do in the gym is PRACTICAL!
Am I genetically gifted to be big and strong? NO WAY! I was the typical 90 lbs. weakling before I started training in an old sweat , blood & guts gym when we didn't have access to all the fancy supplements or ZONEs and the net was years away. But I lifted as hard and heavy on everything as I could.
OK, you or me might not get to a MR. OLYMPIA title or be the next WORLDS STRONGEST MAN ....fine I'll humour them, BUT how do you know how close you'll get to that or how far much better you'll get from where you are now?

Just put the university studies away and TRAIN and see how far you can go! Training like we did and I still do is the REAL exam. You make it through....you pass! Everything else is just theoretical.

Now as a trainer and with access to more styles of training, as it's been said before, I wish I knew then what I do now but the mentality I had back then is here now with what I know now. It's something more people in gyms need again in my opinion. Hunger, discipline, drive, whatever you want to call it. This is something any of those who train with me learn and get really quick!

END OF RANT.
