Many lifters in the iron game fail to get great results in the gym.
Why? The truth of the matter is simple: they are just not as committed to the process as they want to believe.
I have known many people who have gone to the gym multiple days per week for years. But their physiques and their performances never change. In fact, they get worse over time. How can somebody who works out frequently actually regress while training?
There is one reason why some lifters get great results and why some lifters remain average or worse.
You Are Either In Or You Are Out
You must commit to excellence if you want to build a great body.
In the iron game there is no time for halfway lifters. There is no time for halfway trainers. There is no time for halfway bodybuilders or halfway athletes. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
The commitment line, also known as the C-line, is the line that separates who is seeing progress and who is not. If you have stepped over the C-line, you are truly serious about building a great body. If you are behind the C-line, you are still playing games. You are lying to yourself about how serious you are.
Actions always speak much louder than hollow words and promises. Many people talk about their commitment to excellence. But most of the time they will never walk the walk.
It takes more than going through the motions at the gym and doing the same lame workout every single time. It takes more than posting gym selfies on Instagram for cheap “likes.” A committed lifter doesn’t need “likes” to fuel their lifting. He or she thrives when nobody is watching.
Committed athletes accept that going from average to great is not easy. Committed lifters prioritize planning their nutrition around their workouts. Your commitment will decide if you succeed or fail at building a better body. If you are not fully committed to changing your situation, then change will not occur.
I was a lousy sprinter my freshman year at East Stroudsburg University. I wasn’t committed to getting faster. When I got serious about running faster times, I became a better sprinter.
Conclusion
If you make a genuine commitment to improving yourself, you will begin to achieve your fitness goals.
