  1. Great post Todd.

    #2 is extremely frustrating to see, especially when you consider the price of supplements these days. People don’t want to spend ten bucks on a book, but they’ll drop fifty on a pill that most likely won’t make any difference.

      Thanks, Jake. You’re right…but that’s because it’s all about the quick fix, man. Reading a book and understanding it takes work. So does hiring a coach. But supplements provide an empty promise that people can believe in. It’s all in the story.

      Don’t get me wrong, I take supplements and I think they are useful. Just sad that so many people disregard methods and knowledge and opt for powders and pills.

    #8 Be Inconsistent. A proper training schedule? Who does that? I’ll just go tomorrow

    #9 Don’t track your progress. Who cares what weights you did last week? You’ll just do a weight you’re comfortable with anyway. There’s no use in pushing yourself
