Genetics YES! YET, hard work really pays off!
|
The other day, and this has happened many times before mind you, I was in the gym dressing room stripping down to train, when a couple of 40ish out of shape guys were getting dressed to leave. Now they weren’t big fat slobs mind you, just the average otta shape Joes.
They were obviously friends by the way their conversation was going. Anyway, one of them eye balled me in my skivvies and said jokingly, yet with some sarcasm to his voice, “They shouldn’t let guys like that show off like that! It make the rest of us feel inferior! LOL” Of course with a smile on my face and a subdued voice I said, ” it took a lot of time and work to get this body boys.” “I think genetics played a big part in the way you are!” and here came the best part! “You probably don’t even have an idea what it’s like to be like us.” He said. As most of you know, if you look at my progress pics on my bodyspace, you can see the before pic of me April 2002 at age 47. Well I carry that pic with me in my wallet to remind me where I came from. (and for moments like this, I must admit! lol.) So I took out my wallet and said, ” How old are you guys?” “44 and 43″ then I said pulling out the pic from my wallet, ” this is me, almost 5 yrs ago at 47.” “NO WAY! That’s your dad or older brother. That’s not you!” Then they looked closer and “DAMN! That is you!” Then I said with a smile, “Genetics fellas, had nothing to do with this” as I pointed to my six pack! The point friends, you can make all the excuses you want, yet it is the commitment to the work, the discipline to the diet, and the education, good training that changes lives. Oh yes there are those genetic GODS that are blessed with amazing bodies, yet most of us will forever have to train with, Consistency, Intensity to get Density. ed __________________
