• You don’t want to spend time reading any book on training.
• You just want someone to show you EVERYTHING instead of doing research yourself.
• You don’t want to spend at least 2-3 sessions to learn the right techniques (for Squat, Deadlift, etc.)
• You don’t bother to discover why you fail to complete the last rep of the last set of your bench press.
• Or worse still, you are totally fine with squatting/bench pressing the same weights three sessions in a row.
• You think it’s OK to skip a few workout sessions/meals/hours of sleep because you have to study for some midterm/hang out with some good friends/party late Friday night.
• You think: “Oh why so serious?! I just want to gain 10 pounds of muscle. Chill out!”
• Training (including working out, eating, sleeping, resting) is not in your top 3 priority in life.
• You think that it is easy to gain 10 pounds of muscle, and that everything I’ve said so far is bullshit.
• You refuse to Squat, Deadlift, Bench Press, and Overhead Press just because you don’t want to.
• When you choose to listen to what every one says regarding how to train instead of conducting careful research and doing some careful thinking yourself.
• You pick your training program from a magazine or from some friends without understanding exactly why you are doing each of the exercise in that program.
• You change your program every 2 months just because the one you have is not working.
• You walk into the gym without knowing EXACTLY what exercises you are going to perform, how many sets and reps, and how much rest you will have in between.
