O.K.

I will be honest

I don’t trust many, so-called experts, and I’d be the first to tell you to do your research before you trust anyone, including me.

So what exactly do I mean by The True Value Of Experts?

I’ll give you an example.

One of the guys I trust for training advice is Charles Poliquin.

When Charles talks I listen.

Why?

Because, I’ve read a ton of his stuff over the years and like his approach.

So what exactly does this mean?

Well, if Charles recommends something, like a book for instance, I know it is going to be good.

And this to me is The True Value Of Experts

Sometimes we think too much, always worrying if we made the right decision.

And as a consequence we bounce from program to program never really giving any one of them a chance.

But.

If someone you respect says, give this a try and make sure you stick with it for six weeks you will be more inclined to do just that—because they are the expert and they said so.

You will be less inclined to think about it for a month before trying it—chances are you will just try it—and stick with it, instead of bouncing to another program in a week.

And probably make gains.

Whereas if one of your buddies recommends something, you may try it, for a while, and then start to wonder if there is something that you are missing.

And off you will go on the hunt for the perfect program—again.

SOME POINTS

O.K.

Fine.

Let’s say that I’ve made my point, but you might be thinking, how in the world do I go about finding an expert to trust.

To be honest I really cannot tell you how to do that, only to say that the way I did it was to read and read and read.

And gradually as I grew older, I began to put things together and learn who to trust in bodybuilding along with what supplements were worth the money.

I urge you to do the same, read and always keep reading and learning.

Plus experiment and see if what you’ve read works in the real world.

This is a big point, book learning is great, but does the advice really translate into more muscle or strength?

If it does not, move on, and keep trying various things

Also, don’t be afraid to disagree with an expert—especially if you try something he/she recommended and it didn’t work for you.

Of course, this does not mean the advice was bad, just that maybe it just was not right for you—but this is something you will need to figure out for yourself, does this person really know anything at all or was the advice or idea just not for you.

CONCLUSION

The value an expert can give you goes beyond his/her training advice.

His/her value also shows itself in the confidence that you have in this particular person.

The confidence to accept the advice/guidance and trust in it enough to follow it—truly follow it and not worry if you are missing something—

Because you know, deep down, the advice works.

Until Next Time

ALWAYS WORK
