We all have examples of people in our lives that things seem to come together easier. No where is this more frustrating than in the gym. These people seem workout less, eat worse, and generally don’t have a plan- yet they make more progress then we do. This frustrates and discourages us.

                                                                   I cut out white bread why am I not losing weight?!?!?

 I had a friend, Johnny, when I was younger, who had a ripped eight-pack. And he was twelve years old. I asked him how he got his abs and he replied “from doing push-ups”. Excuse me? He did no direct core work yet he had an eight-pack of a Men’s Health cover model! I thought maybe it was what he ate-a good clean diet, right? Wrong! Johnny’s favourite food was Captain Crunch, with a cup of sugar on top.
 

 I likes me my Captain Crunch

Talk about diabetes in a bowl. Frustrated in my pursuit of the summer six pack, I gave up after cursing the gods of bodyfat.

This was foolish of me. Rather than let others accomplishments infuriate us, it should inspire us because what do we ultimately build when working out? Its not only the physical aspect we are training. Sure good buns are good to go, but we also build our minds as well. The discipline, focus, and self-respect built from training are so much more valuable than the body we attain. If you ever catch yourself comparing with others- stop and focus on yourself instead. Your body, and your mind will thank you.
