What excuses do you guys hear every day for why people aren’t successful? Or why they aren’t lifting big weights?
-
I will list a few:
-
- Between school and working part time I just can’t find time…but if I could train full time I bet I’d be snatching 140kg too…
-I just went on vacation…but I will be strong again soon.
-I can’t get enough sleep because I’m just too busy with schoolwork
-I can’t lift on Pendlay bars and bumpers so I don’t lift at all.

i don’t believe in myself enough…

 
I actually think that last one is valid, but, I do agree that all the others are total BS.
I think if people knew how bad you guys here at cal strength hurt at the start of some of the workouts they would be surprised…  or knew all the difficulties that have to be overcome to do what your doing…  the difference between you guys and others is that instead of making excuses, your making lifts.

I have bad knees.
My Doctor advised against it.
I have low test levels.
It hurts.
 
The 1st one is the one I hear all the time. I have had 4 knee surgeries on my right knee and I am 30% disabled but yet I still hit 500lbs on the squat. BooYaaa!

 
This is not quite on topic, but, I once knew a guy on full disability from the police force who did about 400lb bench, and about 600lbs on both squat and deadlift.  As I remember, he had a pretty good military press also.

lol im not surprised. I have seen guys that were “handicapped” with the placcard and everything and could squat 500+

What about women?
 
-I have no time because of my kids
 
-I am so busy in the day, i have to cook, clean, work, and help with my kids home work
 
-I dont want to bulk up
 
-I have so much going on, holiday partys, vacations.. i will get back to in in a few weeks
 
-I cant wake up that early.. 5:30? are you crazy?
 
-I cant give up my favorite food and wine?  is there another way?
 
-I am going to try this cleanse first, if that does not work i will try weight watchers
 
-I am to sore to go the the gym today
 
-I dont want to gain any muscle, i just want to be smaller.. maybe i will do a fast today…

I miss my mommy.
I am bloated.
I got a papercut.
My boobs are too big and I don’t like guys staring at me while I run on the treadmill.
I have wicked bad gas today.
I’m hungover.

 
HAHAH this is classic!!! i bet alot of girls are nervous to run for this reason.. wear a BIG t shirt

yeah i’ve heard that one too. a girl i dated had to wear two sports bras, a wifebeater and a tshirt, and she was still super self concious

That sucks..
 
That is hard to look away… I am a girl and i cant help but stare..
 
I would just wear a HUGEEEEEEEEEEE sweat shirt and a few sports bras  

Last time i took a vacation i came back the same week and qualified for american open. So that troughs that excuse out the window.
You just cant make excuses at cal strength cuz there make u lift anyways

There are a lot of excuses out there. What it comes down to is what you focus on. Those who focus on the excuses end up on the bottom. Those who know the excuses and choose to ignore them are at the top.
Possibles; I’m lifting alone and it’s hard to stay motivated.
In the winter it’s too cold
I don’t have a coach.

I’m hungry. Thats my favorite haha.

?? i am hungry?? i dont get that?? why would that be an excuse?

Cuz i love to eat!!!! You can ask anyone at cal strength i actually use it as an excuse. Cuz im usually eating during training. I eat whne im snatching. i love food

Rob steadily devoured a whole rack of ribs during a training session last week…  I mean eating rib after rib BETWEEN his lifts…

ummmm.. that is really weird and gross!!
 
I hope  you brought baby wipes with you.. You should seriously you tube that…
 
HAHAh “Getting dirty with your branch chain amino acids” !!!
 
 

Ribs is only on a special occation. MAjority of the time its pizza, hamburgers, things like that. Yesturday i had chicken wit some rice. Its basically watever i can get my hands on
