Authenticity
Ok, I looove meeting new people, helping people, giving advice and what not. But PLEASE do not talk to me JUST to get my ab workout. I know, as do most people, when someone is being fake to get something for their benefit.
Over the weekend I had a girl start up a conversation over txt (random because she never talks to me) then after a couple txt asks me how to better train her abs. Like I said, I love to help anyone that may need it but not when that’s ALL they want. If I can tell you don’t care about me, or are just after something for yourself- you are the LAST person I wish to help.
This might sound like a cry baby blog but I KNOW there are plenty of you out there that have had this happen to them more than once.
Work on being genuine. Or you’ll end up looking like a selfish *ss who nobody wishes to be around.
Train hard guys, keep your heads up and believe. This life is yours, make the most of it.

Sorry to hear this happens so frequently, but I know what you mean. The abs look great though =)

It is amazing how plastic some people can be. For me, and if you want to know about my training opinions…just ask. It never ceases to surprise me, how many folks feel they must strike up a conversation about the importance of the Africanized Honey bee and their effect on the Arizona domestic honey bee, before they just flat out ask…"so, what do you do for your triceps."
Now having said all of that Aubrie, along with hey, I care about you the person….can you help me have amazing abs like you….lol….

Even though i have a lot of knowledge and am willing to help people as well…I did this morning,(go check my blog out) if they act like this chick, I would tell them "go pay a personal trainer". Your abs are great btw

I’ll trade you my Arm workout for your Ab workout…
Seriously though, I know the feeling. Me personally I would rather the person just come right out and ask me. Don’t waste my time by pretending to care about what’s going on with me, just to set me up for a couple of questions. I came on this site with the mindset to not just learn from others, but to help as well. So no need to add the butter on top, just come straight out.
