I don’t care if you got it from me, another strength coach, the head coach of your sport, a magazine, or from a website. It sucks… period.


It is the reason you never get results. It is the reason you aren’t a better athlete. I’m 100% sure of it. Here is why:

•I know that every time you train, you are working like a dog, going 110% trying to crush every rep, exercise, and workout.
•I know that no matter what other people say, you are forcing the foods down you need at the times they are needed to recover, burn fat, and build muscle.
•I know you have turned down multiple requests from friends to go party or have a few drinks because it will interrupt your training and diet schedule.
•I also know that you are constantly trying to read, learn, educate, and grow in your knowledge so your training intensity, rest periods, supplementation, and nutrition are spot on.
•I know you are leaving the gym barely able to pick up your arms, walk, and you just might have left a little vomit back there somewhere.
•I know that the hotter it gets outside, the more and more it makes you want to sprint, run bleachers, or push cars instead of sit inside on a computer or in front of a TV under that cool A/C.

•I know that you are sleeping enough at night (7-9 hours), waking up, eating a meal, before even thinking about starting your day.
•I know that you are doing the things you hate to get better at what you are good at. You absolutely despise squats and lunges, but every time they come up, you attack them with an intensity that most people don’t even show for their favorite exercises.

•I know you have that look in your eye, and no matter how busy you are or what you are working on, your goals and desires always creep back into the front of your mind.
So you are doing all of these things 100% of the time and still aren’t getting results? See I told you your workout sucks and you should go search for another. That will fix everything…
