im gonna keep this short instead of telling the whole story.
a national competitor once told me the difference between losing and winning is as simple as it gets....nothing exotic about it...just doing all the little things that ur competition aint doin...after stuffing urself every 2 hrs, pounding a protein shake with flax because thats more protein and fat than ur comp is gettin, when you just finished a brutal back workout and are totally spent...taking 10 more minutes out of ur time and pounding out some calves because there will b someone on stage with better calves if u dont, eating one more chicken breast at meal #10 because god forbid competition ate more than u did..hes growing more....waking up at 6am to brutalize ur legs because u have classes and work all day and its the only time u can get into the gym...not sleeping until 3 in the afternoon on a saturday because thats at least 6 hrs u missed where u couldve been eating...instead of choosing between squats or leg press on leg day....superset em and then proceed to demolish the stack on the extensions
then he proceeded to tell me that that the most important ****ing thing in bodybuilding is CONSISTENCY...if u want it bad enough, you'll train every workout as if somebody has a gun pointed to ur head.
then he told me the crazy ****...i won't go into his cycling because i do not want any newbies to misinterpet **** because it was extreme....but the way he trained was brutal when getting ready for his last comp before he decided to give it a rest...squatting six plates on each side for reps with no shoes or socks on (his legs were as grainy and veiny as ****), crushing 5 mg dbols into a fine powder and dissolving it into his gallon of water to drink while lifting...and so on and so on.
most important thing is to do the little things that ur comp isn't doing...edge everybody out with the BASICS...
