Der Weg ist das Ziel

Ich lass hier nochmal einen Auszug aus Forever da. Ich denke, das beschreibt so ziemlich alles, was ich durchgemacht hab mit dem Ziel einen "besseren Körper" zu bekommen und was die bessere Lösung wäre.

 

GET A BETTER BDDY IN 36 MONTHS!

 

I'm not sure if the next statement has ever been said but it sure needs to: if you need to lose fat, it doesn't have to occur over 8 weeks. Or 12 weeks. The faster and quicker you lose the weight, the better chance you have of putting in back on, losing muscle and losing strength. Remember that most people took years and years to put this weight on. These are years to develop bad habits. Doesn't it make sense that it's going to take longer than 2 months to lose the weight? This isn't news. And this doesn't even require much thought. Yet the sheep continue to go through (and this is a sure sign of incompetence) crash diets (women) or cutting phases (boys). First, let's clear up who needs to "cut" and who doesn't. If your body is the human equivalent of a 36oz rib eye, it's ok to shed some fat. If you are a small, wilted carrot, save the cutting until you turn into an actual meal for a predator. If you are too fat for your own good, work on changing your habits. Work on changing your goals for training and conditioning. Develop long lasting eating habits that you can use for a lifetime. Let the weight come off as you work to do something great. Let it come off as a consequence of kicking ass and conquering physical performance goals. Turn the 275-pound squat to a 10-rep max. Buy a weight vest and do 3 miles every morning -see if you can log 25 miles a week with 100 pounds. Work on hitting 10 strict pull-ups. These are actions and goals you can be proud of. These are actions that can translate to confidence that can translate to self-esteem. Nothing can take the place of accomplishing a physical goal; you see it on the face of any man that has been out of work and comes home with a paycheck. He has earned that money to provide. That is action and that is reward. I don't understand any male that measures progress or self-esteem by using a scale and calipers. If that is your goal, go for it. But I was raised to do, to create and to achieve through action. Performance was what mattered. Competing. Working. Achieving. Don't look for the quick fix. Look for the right fix. All the great men on earth, the ones that are remembered, have been men of action. They set goals, worked and accomplished these goals. Then, they set new goals and worked harder and sometimes failed. But men of action do not give up and bitch and martyr themselves. They didn't fish for a pat on the back. They found a new way, a better way.
