How long did it take you to find out the three keys to strength/muscle gain?

[PoyeBoy]

Those three things being:
1. eating enough and the right kinds of Food
2. Moving the wieghts and not being a puss no matter how much you want to give up or how much it hurts
3. plenty of sleep.

Sorry if Im beating a dead horse here, I just had to vent, I have had a few key instances(I wont go into them) in the past week, and I am reminded daily by ignorant people at the gym, in regular life, and on the internet, that I just have to get this off my chest.

Everyone puts thier trust and relies on stupid suppliments/other things to do the job. And are not willing to take matters into thier own hands. they have a shitty diet and do not even get close to enough sleep, but they have that new NO2 that is supposed to raise crap levels by 400%.

I finally came to this conclusion about a year ago, after about 3 years of decent lifitng. I just wish I would have found this out earlier.

Now when I hear people talking about "the new breakthough supplements" I want to slap them in the face and tell them to stop being momma's boys, suck it up and just lift already.

sorry if this is long winded, I just needed to let off some steam

Poye,

hmmmm, if it only were that simple. Enough sleep! That's a good one. What do you consider enough sleep. If I get 5 hours I count myself lucky. Sometimes life gets in the way.

Eating right, now that's key. Big time!!! The only thing is I'm on CKD right now, so technically am I eating right? I'm not taking in any or barely any carbs for energy.

Pushing around the weights:

God I have to get this engrained in my head. I am still soooo weak minded. I can push through the pain, but I just know at the end of my set, that I could've worked harder.


Here's to one day getting the key three to work for me!

Good post, as always!

trust me, it is that simple, well maybe a few other items as well, but mostly those three. For me enough sleep is 7-8 hours a night, if I get less or more I am tired.

great job on the CKD, thats mad tough, takes alot out of someone to do that.

Well, whenever I get into any kind of hobby, I research the shit out of it (to put it eloquently).
