I'm going to be yer powerlifting decoder ring. I know these preambles posted on some of these videos are tough to translate, so I'm yer guy. You see it, I see it, we all see it- the paragraph of reasons why someone couldn't or why someone is extra special. Let's go over a few here, and I'll wrap it all with a solid translation for ya'll.
Let's start with one of the most used of all time- the g.o.a.t. of "reasons."
I didn't get enough sleep; I think 70% of misses and pr's had that one Didn't have all my meals
I've been sick
I dropped BW
Works been crazy
I had to travel
Started a new diet
Back after time off
Jumped off program
Just feeling off today
Dehydrated
New wraps
New shoes
Ran out of my fancy overpriced coffee
Too much pre-workout
Not enough pre-workout
The list goes on and on and on, all these mean is one of two things. Most of these are controllable, so yer saying you didn't handle yer business.
For the uncontrollable, yeah life is a kick square in the dick at times, no need to use that as an excuse of why you missed a lift, or it moved slow or whatever reason you needed to express to the world why things didn't go yer way.
Also, you badass motherfucking hardcore iron warriors, who preface with all the but, follow with so I'm surprised or pretty happy with this pr or whatever, shut the fuck up- seriously. You overcame adversity, you big powerful dedicated weirdo.
See, here's the thing the weights don't give a fuck about you or your little sniffles, they also don't give a fuck if you are 100% and on the ball with all yer checks and balances, when the iron wants its sacrifice in blood, it'll take it- 100% or 10% it doesn't discriminate. Yer life sucks? Fuck you pay me; you're in yer zone killing shit? Fuck you pay me. So, train- post yer videos, good, bad and everything in between, cause it's coming, it's imminent, but skip the preambles and respect the weights, and remember they don't give a fuck about you. .
