AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts | Post Edited: 22.01.2013 @ 12:31 PM by Rob http://www.jimwendler.com/2011/09/time-to-man-up/Time to Man Up I’m going to have to give you some Tough Lust here (no lube or spit). First, I need for you to re-read this article, especially this part: “Where performance and kicking ass are more important than how you look. Where people eat to live, not live to eat. Where trucks are pushed and sleds are pulled. Where reps and weight are counted, calories are not. Where running isn’t “cardio, it’s part of training and if you’re going to walk for your conditioning you best have something on your back or in your hands” You admit that you are not strong enough (many of us feel this way but understand that it is an ongoing process and that THIS process is important). But please DO NOT be that guy who talks about where he holds his fat or how his legs or “obliques” are fattier than they should be. Where has our gender gone? What I would prescribe for you is to get rid of all these silly, pathetic and disgusting notions of what you think a man should look like and start over. I’m going to give everyone a huge hint here: no one gives a s**t what you look like. Now I’m not saying being a fat slob doesn’t raise some eyebrows in disgust, but if you kick as much ass as possible in the weight room and conditioning field AND start OWNING the f**k out of your given “sport” (you better start competing and making your training count), you will not only LOOK better but you will feel better. People are not attracted to vanity – they are attracted to confidence and passion. No one owns a room by the way they look; it’s how they carry themselves. There is so much more to this, but PLEASE don’t talk about your love handles. Talk about your passions in life, talk about how you’ve moved boulders, talk about the books you’ve read, talk about the world’s you’ve changed. You have the passion for training, start making this s**t count. I know this is probably way off topic then what you wanted but I’m trying hard to get rid of all this bulls**t that is plaguing SO MANY men, young men and boys. So in conclusion, I recommend this: 1. Stretch 2. Lift 3. Sprint Do this all the time – no bulking, no cutting, no bulls**t. Just training for being a motherf**ker. Don’t be that guy that takes shirtless photos of himself so other men can drool on them. That s**t is a disgrace to every man that has done anything awesome in his life – while they were busy “doing” these shirtless ‘tards were busy trying to look the part. Get off the bench and get on the field. http://www.jimwendler.com/2011/09/time-to-man-up/ Great inspirational read! | ||

 'There was also a sausage in my mouth.' Member 2477, 16481 posts SQ 190, BP 130, DL 235555.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | I like Jim wendler because he likes darkthrone, emperor, eyehategod and other such things. I find a lot of his articles useful as well. On the other hand he does say some stupid annoying things | ||

 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | I personally like some things he writes but I find preaching like this cringable. We all make our own choices in life and who is to say anyone's is wrong? I'm sure the guys looking to be lean would be just as critical of his lifestyle. Although I find men wearing makeup and skinny jeans a bit much, haha | ||
