You have probably heard the phrase garbage in garbage out, and for my money nothing is truer than that statement when it comes to bodybuilding or working out.

Most people know that you can do cardio all day and all night, but if you do nothing but eat junk food you will never lose weight.

However, what most people miss is this,

The same holds true for what you do in the gym, if you constantly look for ways to make life easier for yourself while you are in there your results will speak for themselves.

Meaning you will not see much in the way of progress.

You might be thinking,

What the heck do you mean make things easier for yourself?

Well, for instance, it is all too easy to pump out endless sets of curls for your biceps—but what about grinding out some heavy dead lifts?

Or when was the last time you busted out the last five seriously hard reps—with some serious weight on the bar—for deep back squats?

SOME POINTS

The two above exercises will do more for your physique goals than most others; yet, those exercises will be avoided like the plague.

I know those infomercials that are all over the T.V. late at night promise quick results—from a minimum amount of work—but we all know deep down that the only way to get stronger or to totally reshape our bodies is to work for it—really work for it—and that requires hard and heavy work on the basics.

CONCLUSION

If you have found yourself making excuses in the gym as-of-late as to why you do not have to do the hard stuff, like squats, dead lifts, and heavy rowing and pressing movements—

The next time you find yourself in the gym, either a commercial gym or a home gym, force yourself to look for ways to work harder—not easier.

The resultant soreness you will feel for the next few days—will be well worth it.

Until Next Time

WORK HARD
