time after time posts are being made with bad cycles, or arguments over how an inexpeienced person disagrees with a more experienced one.. word of advice: try to put your ego to the side and keep an openmind when given advice, whether it's in the form of constructive critism or plain genuine guidance.

this is not your average forum, nor is it a body building site. yes, you will find these types here, and the advice is just as good for them. overall, the majority here are striving to reach a desired level of wellbeing and maintain that level. More importantly is to be able to have access to the proper information so that goals can be accomplished with as few compromises as possible.

this is the problem with most green horns. the average person does not like to be told that they are wrong, no doubt. it is the above average persons that choose to handle that criticism in the most positive way. 90% of the super critical advice is designed to weed out the bullshitters from the real players. much respect goes to the persons that can acknowledge that they may not have all the answers, or just may have it all wrong, and then keep an openmind to the advice and critism given. ZERO respect goes to the persons that choose to argue and discredit sound advice.

i am not a body builder by any stretch of the imagination, but i sure as hell aint no dummy. there was time at one point where i was hit with the realization that i had been doing it wrong. this was not considered a failure by any means. why? because i am thankful for every opportunity i have had to fail at something, because it is how i choose to handle those situations that make me who i am today.

so, if you genuinely want advice or help in some area of living a fit lifestyle, you're in the right place. for it to work, openmindedness and humility are crucial! closeminded, prideful, and argumentative attitudes are only setting yourself up for true failure. if you simply want to find justification to your bad decisions, go find another site. there's plenty out there that will help you screw yourself up. but, we keep it real 'round here!

Let's face it: if you had it all figured out, you wouldn't be seeking advice. now would you?

If you keep doing what you've always done, you gonna keep getting what you've always gotten.
