That was just what I needed to read after my day.
I put off going to the gym cause my work day was a wreak and I just wanted to go home.
You have inspired me to think differently in so many of your posts this one hit hte nerve it needed to!

You analogy to riding a bike to stay balanced agrees with an old Albert Einstein quote shown below. I also included another of his quotes below in which he defines insanity that I think especially applies to exercise & diet:

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.
—-Albert Einstein

The true definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again——and expecting a different result.
—-Albert Einstein

(1) Yes I am planning something like this. In fact, I may start a side-project dedicated solely to it.
(2) Yes. But it would be a 4-day plan to accomplish what you are talking about actually. I may release something in the near-future.

Two of my tops favs in life are:

Be Who You Are, Say What You Mean. The People Who Mind Don’t Matter. The People Who Matter Don’t Mind. — Dr. Seuss

Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it.
Teaching is reminding others that they know it just as well as you.

Nice post Mark, I think we all need to be reminded of these from time to time.

Sometimes when you’re in the weeds or trenches, you don’t see clearly.
Thanks for the wave…that said…over here….look, over here. Just walk this way.

I’ve just had a battle with breast cancer this yr all clear now,thank god,n tryin to get back what it took from me.I think the biggest thing in life you can do is not give up even if it’s one small thing you do a day you’re winning,your in control and should take it as an achievement. It’s very important to keep our body’s healthy but also our minds. Good luck to everyone . D

I’m not sure what challenges you faced during the past few days, but your attitude is that of a true winner. Your sharing of posts like this is greatly appreciated. That’s why I’m such a big fan. Keep it up!

I believe #8 too, and it tells me there’s not only a “design” for my life, but also a Designer. I’m sure you’ve thought of that too…very inspirational notes today; appreciate the help you’ve been!

who knows what I would be doing had I went to university, I could be in a better job yes, but I could also be without a job, without certain people in my life and a lot fatter/unhealthier xD

but that’s just over-thinking, just trying to put some perspective on finding positives in regret etc.

More than a musclehack coach, you’re a mentor. Those principles are the core of a successful life.

I also think that you can learn a lot of life lessons through bodybuilding when you approach it by the spiritual aspect.

I’m currently doing THT and a vegetarian GLAD diet, I’ll share some pictures of my amazing progress when I’ll start TSPA and cut these 15% Bf.

Little questions :
– About your article : why don’t you make some videos where you could share those principles more on détails?
– About THT : have you considered create a hybrid program of THT , like a 6-day split where you hit 2 times each muscle, and do 5-6 sets per muscle/ training ? While keeping all the principles you’re teaching, of course. I could be amazing, and if you want a guinea pig, I’m here. Just a thought!

Keep doing amazing articles Mark. You really change my vision of bodybuilding.

In partiqularly number “9” is the biggest one for me, I can be strong and independent in so many ways but for all the good, it only takes one negative comment to knock me back, indeed i’ve made more life choices or refrained from doing somthing I actually want to do because of this.

How I try and think about this now is tell myself “Although I wish I had taken the necessary steps 5 years ago to get me where I want to be today, doing them now ensures I will not be saying the same thing in another 5 years.”

I also try and think that no matter what anyone has done “bad” or “wrong” up until now, there are surely many things they had done right and had they taken “steps they wish they had of done x years ago” they might not have obtained the same results in other areas of life.

As an example a few years ago I chose a job instead of university, doing so lead me to meet my current partner

Sometimes I need to be reminded of # 5 and 7. Not that I’m perfect in all other areas. Haha. There are times when things get tough and one wonders if the light at the end of the tunnel is a train. I’m going through one of those phases now… but this too shall pass. I just have to keep going.
Thanks for all the good work that you’re doing bud. I try to send positive vibes your way, even when I’m going through your workouts. 🙂

I wish you all the best in your new life!

I needed to be reminded of these things, especially since I am about to embark a new life as a newly wed in a new city, a new state, and hopefully soon, a new job and start a new business as a part-time health coach. Yes, it’s a lot, a little scary and stressful, but in the big scheme of things, it was my choice. It’s also ultimately my choice as to how I will view supposed chaos and the attitude I will take. This is a challenging moment and there is a plenty of opportunity of growth, but this too shall pass. 🙂 Thank you so much for all the No-BS fitness/fat-loss content you put out on a regular basis. You rock! Keep up the great work.
