Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I've done a number of top 10 lists over
the years, and they're always lots of fun.
Here's a new one.
THE TOP 10 EXCUSES FOR NOT TRAINING
HEAVY
10. "I don't want to get too big."
9. "I don't want to overload the Smith machine."
8. "The pec dec is broken."
7. "I'm sure that if I asked, they'd tell me that
heavy training is against the gym rules."
6. "I just want to look strong."
5. "I just bought some new jeans and I don't
want to grow out of them."
4. "A guy on the internet said you don't need to
do it. Light training works better. And he had a
really cool looking avatar."
3. "It's too old-fashioned."
2. "I don't want to be rude and hog all the plates."
and finally -- drum-roll -- the number one excuse
for not training hard and heavy --
1. "If I train hard and heavy, I might get too big --
and if I get too big I might be mistaken for a
gorilla -- and if I get mistaken for a gorilla I
might get put in the zoo -- and I don't want to
get put in the zoo."
So if you're wondering why most people avoid
heavy training, those are the reasons -- along with
the fact that they can't stand the hard work!
As always, thanks for reading and have a great
day. If you train today, make it a good one!

don't." -- Brooks Kubik
