There are always going to be guys who come on here - who have either absolutely zero formal education or took a few courses or online certifications. They HAVE definitely read the shit out of the internet and begin to believe that they are experts. But as we know - science has gone back and forth over the years but there are genuine gurus that have not only studied but also PUT THEIR FINDINGS TO USE IN THE GYM. They experimented in the gym and overall process. This is something that takes decades and it’s embarrassing to read guys who’ve trained maybe 5-6 years (maybe couple more) would NEVER post a pic (which has been 100% proven able to be done with no one knowing who you are) - of course would never compete (not saying all well informed have to compete).
How many times over the years has their been a guy who is a copy and paste - Dr.Google - search guru who other members somehow seem to state “obviously knows his stuff?” Then later we find out he is some cat that looks like he’s never trained a day in his life...
True knowledge and wisdom require humility - it is MANDATORY.
If someone talks about rankings in my profession and asks if I feel that I am the best I used to foolishly think it was showing confidence to definitively say yes. Now I ALWAYS say - “I am confident in my abilities and my greatest ability is to learn. I am definitely NOT the best - as that would mean I have nothing left to learn from any peer and I could never improve. I do not ever want to stop being a student.
Anyway - rant over. And please for the love of God please don’t anyone reply with something pissy think this is directed at them. It’s a general statement and I am not coming back to the thread and will not engage and return fire.
