More bodybuilders fail to achieve their goals than to succeed...

So it is said.

[newmom]

that is the gods HONEST truth, at least for 95 percent of them

[Chick]

You could apply that logic and number to just about any aspect in life...

You could apply that logic and number to just about any aspect in life...

and that logic is flawed as it depends on how you define success. Is success becoming better than you were before or is success winning competitions ?

[dyslexic]

Well I suppose you could define "success" as it is defined in the dictionary, or, you could define it in your own mind as it pertains to you, which I happen to believe is what most people do.


Then you could argue that it is all relative and that it is only a "theory" that is somehow flawed...


and then we could talk about quotes from the late, great, Mike Mentzer.

the single biggest factor preventing most bodybuilders for achieving their individual goals is lack of dietary discipline.....lifting is easy, bulking is easy, juicing is easy

restricting calories is hard.......getting shreaded is torture

Good point. I agree.

securing a Pro card is a good achievement, giving the fact that some of these guys tried all their lives to get one, but once they make it to the Pro, you never hear them anymore. I know a good friend of mine, (I won't say his name), he snatched a Pro Card 4yrs ago, and he couldn't even crack top 15 at the NYP after several tries, he gave up and went back to do his day job. I guess making it to the Pro is not always a guarentied long stay in the business

I would almost think of it as more of a "curse" than a blessing...
