And not enough real work. Online discussion forums across the web are ever expanding. It is amazing to me what is really happening with it all.
People are asking questions simply because they are looking for someone to say “I agree with you” or to cause disagreements and argue online. I find the lack of solid training results a strong indicator that at least 65% of the forums through out the web are mullet breeding grounds. A place where they can continue the long talks they had at the bench press machine on to the house, across the stateline, maybe across the world.
In a different but equally annoying group are the ones who need to ask questions about the smallest of things; if they would just get off their ass and work they would learn themselves.
My favorite are the people who have not hit a training PR in three years but feel they have something to contribute. if your stalled out, you better stop talking and start working. If your stalled stay the hell away from me, least your weakness corrupt me. If your stalled out its your fault because progress is easy; Consistancy, specifics, rest, and frequent practice.

Love this post, Adam. I hope your recovery is coming along well.
Love it Adam!!! Good point about the small issues. The devil is in the details, yes, and he comes out when they are all you can see.
I have said it 100 times, training forums are the devil! They are full of people who don’t even train who live for stirring up shit and pissing people off. I gave up on them a long time ago.
What matters is what is right in front of you. Your family, your friends, your training, your livin’. Period.
How many times have I said this shit aint rocket science. Eat, sleep, train, repeat. Funny how that always nets results in strength, power, size, and health, no matter how “hard” a gainer someone is.
Keep it up bro, love this blog!
