self imposed limitations and other shenanigans
ByWhy is it that some people don’t want to do certain things even if it will get them closer to their desired goal?
I was perusing one of the forums that I visit pretty often and found a person asking a question about the kettlebell clean and press with out doing the swing because they had just purchased a treadclimber or similar bs machine and for some reason wanted nothing to do with the swing. The swing alone is better then just about anything else out there. This person not wanting to do the swing is worse then ignorance because its self imposed limitation. What the hell is the point in that?
Another a girl didn’t want to do many exercises that weren’t low body. I got news for ya lady your body is composed of several different connected muscles that don’t work in isolation but rather in coordination with each other. You will not beef up so quit your worrying because worrying is like a rocking chair…it gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere…write that one down. Blatantly ignoring superior training is just foolish if you ask me.
And remember when it comes to exercise selection your goal should be to select the ones most efficient in bringing you to your goal…not to fit in with the crowd. Why the hell would you want to be average when you could be elite?

Hi Eric,
I think some women really want to look like twigs (supermodels). There is a fitness blog by a guy who always posts photos of “beautiful women.” They all looked anorexic to me, with no discernible muscles at all. I can’t tell you the name of it, since I quickly took it off my google reader list.
Anyways, it’s just sick! That’s my take on it.

yeah its a shame. For some reason some girls think that us guys like them super skinny. We like them to look healthy and I know I am not the only guy that thinks that way. Its kind of like the guys that think girls want guys to have enormous muscles. I don’t know a single girl that likes the way the Mr. Olympia guys look.
