NOBODY IS GOING TO DO IT FOR YOU!” We all love to talk a great game because it costs us nothing to pontificate and bloviate with our chest stuck out. But in the real world there are no short cuts to success. I’ve had business associates talk about “hacks” that if discovered and applied to a problem then the effort will be truncated—and nobody is the wiser. Hacks can be useful but everybody knows that you either cheated or tried to get something for nothing. Fortunately, bodybuilding is so personal that any decreased effort will be noticed on stage. The first to know about your decreased amount work is YOU! You feel grumpy. You feel like you tried to cut a corner or two to get to the stage. but it’s not working. Secondly, All my friends are aware that I am not as sharp as in previous shows. It’s painful to know that others are clued into my personal laziness. Thirdly, Is my disappointment in the results of the show. Instead of finishing in the top 5 competitors, you have been reduced to ashes here. CONVENTIONAL WISDOM TAKE HOME—–NEVER cut corners, don’t miss workouts, and above all else, “WORK HARD”…in fact you have to work harder than anybody else if you want to win. Stop talking and get to work!

Bottom Line: You’ll never be good enough, but you can outwork them and win. Your will to win leaves them mesmerized mainly because they know nothing about the effort you expended to win…..
