There Is No EASY Way...

"The one thing that's never changed is that you still have to work hard. It seems that a lot of people and a lot of programs are trying to sidestep that one main issue. But you gotta go in there and you gotta bust your ass! People need to quit looking for the easy way out and get to work." -Dave Tate


Check out this video of Dave Tate and his words (albeit explicit) of wisdom! Seriously! 
Really, this is one of the things that, as a gym owner and S&C coach, hell, as a human being, drives me nuts!   Everyone wants to get results yesterday and quite frankly, it's ridiculous.  But, I've found the secret.  I'll tell you what it is, but try not to spread the word around too much (you'll put me out of business; actually, maybe not).  


Ok, here it is:
You've got to be willing to put in the time, effort, and... wait for it... HARD WORK!  Attitude is key.


Hey, I'm the same way.  I want to get results now.  But you know what I've started realizing?  There's no satisfaction or learning in that.  It's not gratifying to achieve monumental goals in a day.  Why?  Because there was no journey.  There was no "learning a lot about myself in the process" time period.  That's what this whole thing is about!  Sure, from an "outsiders" perspective it's just lifting weights and trying to look good.  But from the perspective from anyone who has been there and lived it, its about more than that.  It's about the journey.


Have a great weekend and, as always,


Train Hard.  Get Lean.  Get STRONG!
