Today a 22yo lifter with good genetics came up to me and asked how did I get so huge. I told him I was glad he stopped me because I noticed his frame earlier and thought to myself that he could easily go from 250lbs to a 285lb beast in 5-6 years IF he learned how to lift. We chatted small talk about exercises and shit for a minute and then he asked again 'How did you get so huge, I wanna get like you'. I was flattered and then I looked at him and said this "I lift angry. When I come in this mother fucker I assert my will upon every mother fucker in here. My light days are their heavy days and my heavy days either inspire them, or break their fucking spirits. You have to push that button and let loose your SNAP DRAGON. I can tell you're a big kind person, but when you come in here, this mother fucker belongs to you. Fuck that, lift heavy every damn time. Make your light days someone's heavy and your heavy days fucking awesome. Assert your will, but just know you can't have this fucking gym till I'm dead and gone brother".
Obviously I'm a dramatic asshole when it comes to lifting and I have my short comings as we all do, but one thing you can't say about me is that I ain't cheating my body, or mind out of too much. Angrily is the walk, Swole is the path and I stomp down that shit with a 45 plate on my shoulder for an attitude. You just gotta remember that even though you're an asshole, don't be an asshole. There is nothing casual about my mentality in the gym and bottom line... you can fucking try me if you want. I'll break my fucking back, or drop shit on my chest before I let myself be intimidated in my gym.
I know this ain't everyone's mentality and whatever yours is , much respect due... but whatever and however you do it... give it your all. We ain't taking all this shit to be mediocre.
