Are You A Normie Lifter?
Eh…probably.
There’s nothing wrong with being normal in any aspect of life, and that certainly holds true with ones approach towards physical fitness and exercise. However, if you want extraordinary results, don’t fool yourself into thinking that normal methods or an average mindset will produce them.
They won’t. And anyone selling that is lying to you.
Here are five signs that you are a normie lifter. If you feel offended or attacked by this article, you probably are one. There’s nothing wrong with that. But if you want to change that status, you might want to level up your training game.
#1 You Aren’t Constantly Learning
Lifting is like an onion: there are far more layers to it than you think, it often smells pretty bad and it can make you cry with startling ease.
Every great lifter is a student of the game. You have to be, or the iron will rip to you pieces. Alternatively, you’ll just go nowhere. Solving the puzzle of what works for your body will take time, and just as much of that time will be spent learning as actually lifting. This could be talking to people, this could be watching YouTube videos, this could be reading…but without learning your potential is very much capped.
