Hey guys....check your ego at the door

The reason for this is because it could be standing in the way of your true potential. I am starting to think if all men trained at home by themselves, I would have a shop full of jacked athletes. We instead choose commercial gyms packed with women and treadmills, for the sake of what we refer to as "atmosphere". Some basic principles seem to apply in these facilities:

1)Concentration curls and benching are choice excercises.
2)Be sure and apply the max effort 1/4 depth squat as well.
3)And just skip the deadlifts all together.

These gyms do have one postive though, they help us with our posture. You know, we walk tall sticking our chests out for all to see..lol. Now I am not saying to quit and start an underground gym, I am simplying saying to use core lifts, good form and a program design that meets your individual objectives regardless of what others are saying or doing. Mostly, worry less about your poundages or programs based on other people's perception of strength and quality.

Be less concerned with opinions of others. Society is packed with stress and negative behaviours. Our training carries over to all aspects of our lives. So get the most from it.
