Limiting Factor #3: "I Still Can't See My Abs."
This is going to be a true case of tough love. What I'm about to say is going to ruffle a few feathers, but it has to be said.
What's up with people celebrating the fact that they have 5,000, 10,000, or even upwards of 15,000 posts on a forum? I see this quite often, and I just don't get it. I find it odd that people make such a big deal that they have "x" amount of posts on an internet forum and then wonder why they haven't reached all of their physique goals. Literally, they're all talk and no walk.
I understand the sense of community and camaraderie we all get from various forums. Personally, I've learned quite bit by participating in various forums and I've also met a ton of great people. But please don't complain that you still can't see your abs if you're celebrating the fact you have 15,000 posts.
This is akin to congratulating Paris Hilton for writing her ABC's correctly or patting Lindsay Lohan on the back for being able to read Cat in the Hat without any help. It's not that big of a deal, although this could be debatable in either of their cases.
For simplicity sake, let's assume each post took one minute to type. Well, 15,000 minutes equates to 250 hours, which is roughly ten days. That's ten days straight of doing nothing but sitting on your butt, typing. That's why you don't have abs. That's the limiting factor.
It's not shitty genetics. It's not because you haven't provided enough of a caloric deficit. It's because you spend way too much time on forums celebrating the fact that you have 15,000 posts. Your time could've been better spent:
1. Going for walks
2. Doing some extra conditioning work (sprints, tire flipping, sled dragging, etc.).
3. Playing tennis, basketball, softball, swimming, or kicking some ass in local Wiffle ball tournaments.
4. Dynamic flexibility drills.
5. Extra mobility work.
In short, stop posting and start moving.
