Don't Try And Beat Me... You'll Never Win

While I was training I was working in with this lady, set for set on the chest press machine.

If you don’t know what that means, she goes, I go, she goes, I go etc etc.

She did her set at 20kg for about 15 reps then she got off.

I jumped in and did my set.

I did 102.5kg for 10 reps... Pretty impressive right? I joke, I joke.

She comes back and says, "Did you really just do the whole stack? I feel so pathetic."

I said to her, "There’s no need to compare yourself to me." She walked off.

What I really wanted to say to her was...

You’re a 50 year old woman!!!

Don’t compare yourself to a 25 year old male (in his prime), who has trained for 11 years, prioritises being strong and does this for his freaking job!

Of course I’m going to be stronger than you! I should be pushing 5x what you push!

Focus on YOUR goals!

Focus on YOUR strength!

Focus on YOUR body!


Even if you took anabolic steroids, you wouldn’t be as strong as me!

IF YOU FOCUS ON OTHERS, WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS LOST.
