The Cold Hard Truth

If you are anything like me, you have spent the majority of your younger years looking for ways to magically "bulk up in two weeks", or to "get big fast". The problem with these typical want-it-now approaches are that they simply don't exist. You see people doing the newest Hollywood celebrity workout expecting to get jacked in the least amount of time possible. Ask yourself a question, how many people actually pull this feat off? Now ask another question, why? The truth of the matter is that there is nobody to blame for these people's failures other than themselves. They end up sticking to these "magic" workouts for a week or two at the most and wonder why they never see any results. The truth is that it takes time for you to start to see your results in the gym. Can you pack on 10-20 pounds of muscle in 3-4 months? The answer is absolutely, however, people simply don't. Many people have this belief that if they simply lay on the bench press all day and lift until they can't move their arms that they will become massive and accomplish their goal. Also, they expect to accomplish this goal with absolutely no nutrition and no proper rest. This leads to lack of results, and eventually, the individual giving up on his goal because "I'm skinny I can't help it" or "I have a fast metabolism". This is utter bullshit. If you want to beef up, you need to become focused outside the gym first and foremost. This means getting your nutrition in check, making sure you are getting adequate sleep at night, cutting down on the alcohol and partying, and become educated. Think of your body like a high performance vehicle. You can drop a huge engine in that car, get all kinds of aftermarket parts, but yet without gasoline it simply will not run. So how do you expect to grow and become a high performance machine when all you are doing is drinking beer and eating cheese puffs on the couch? In order to become successful you have to want to do it, nobody is going to make you do it. I will lay out the plan, show you how, but ultimately it is your decision whether or not you become successful. Stay focused and hungry people, and in time it will come.
