Thanks man appreciate that! It took like 2 years for me to “get it” but once I did, there was no turning back. I’ve been successful in anything I’ve done in life (for the most part), but lifting was so different to me. There was information overload. I just didn’t know how much just straight up hard work it is vs strategy, programs, and all that other shit that really doesn’t matter. I’m so glad you guys just told me to shut the fuck up and just go work and then come back. I swear at one point I didn’t log on to tnation for like 6 months. That’s when I realized, less posting and thinking more lifting and eating haha!
This was my first post on T-Nation:
God damn I was weak and dumb haha. The biggest difference was 2017. I added 200lbs to my squat and it was up uphill from there. I was always athletic, but it took hard work to “unlock” my genetics. It wasn’t until I got much stronger that I realized I had pretty good genetics too lol.
