I’m just not that strong (yet)!

I think a trap a lot of us fall into though is that goals change too. today you might want a 5 minute mile time. but tomorrow you realize a 315 bench is more important. 6 months from now you realize you want to cut for vacation, lol.

I have this problem quite a bit. Sometimes I wonder if I would've just kept on bulking and not worrying about "body image" over the years, if I'd have a much more solid base to work from.

Which is why most people never achieve their goals. Anything worth doing, is worth doing RIGHT, with commitment and persistent effort. You can’t have everything at once.

I agree with this, but also would say that sometimes you just need to start doing - regardless of what the outcome will be. Sometimes even minimal or subpar effort still gets you half of the way there - vs saying this is not the optimal time, environment, weight, etc. - which may never come.

But that’s not what I said, was it? I didn’t say anything about waiting for ideal conditions.

I said you have to focus on ONE goal at a time with consistent effort.

If you lack enough consistency, or enough effort, or spread it over too many goals, none will be reached.

awesome metaphor.


When you know where you are going, you can make adjustments along the way with unfavorable winds.
