Yes, JC, et al., those are words of Phil’s are words of wisdom.
But unfortunately, it takes time to figure that out (what he said),
one needs to pay attention, observe, keep accurate records,
question, and have patience. Problem is most people what immediate
results, which weight training is more than capable of giving you, but
you have got to use the tools correctly. It’s really not that complicated.
Many people train way too much, eat way too much, and change
routines way too frequently, rarely giving things time to play out in
a meaningful fashion.
And . . . start the “super supplements” way way too early; too much
too soon, do not take advantage of all they have to offer because
of being in such a hurry. Then it too late and can never go back and
regain that lost ground, those opportunities, that are now lost forever.
You will know if you have what it takes in bodybuilding within a few
short years (usually less) using the worst training routine known
to man, watching your diet or your diet watching you, with or without
drugs, it does not matter. Your potential will be immediately obvious
to a keen, honest, and experienced eye in a very short amount of time.
Problem is, and this has been an age old problem . . . there is much to
be gained financially by some by stringing people along with less
desirable genetics. I’m going to leave it at that.
Off my soapbox and back to work.
