[@thenew4559]

Here's a recap for everyone: 1) Too much stress inhibits muscle growth. Avoid things that make you overly stressed. 2) Self-sabotage: going overboard with cheat meals and snacking, using "I'm too busy" as an excuse when that usually isn't the case. 3) Having bad friends and negative influences. Surround yourself with good people who can help you prosper. 4) Becoming too routine with meals and training, to the point where you lose motivation. Incorporate some level of variance and don't be too afraid to occasionally try new things and experiment. Try to make things fun. 5) Replacing your nutrition and exercise with supplements. Supplements aren't a substitute for either, they are supposed to be an additional boost beyond what you can get just from food and exercise. 6) You're in a bad gym environment. Find a gym that motivates you and suits your training needs (not a Planet Fitness). 7) Ego. Don't believe that you know everything just because you have been around for a while, you never are close to knowing everything. Keep an open mind to new or unconventional ideas and constantly challenge your status quo.

I have one good friend lol, I lift weights almost every day for 1-2 hours, on weekends about 3 hours. No rest days.

I will contrast this a little bit with the motivation I've had from following competition winning lifters. Just about everything I know came from watching good lifters do what they do, seeing someone else make the journey from training to top of the podium is hugely inspirational, you get to see the human side of actually working hard enough to win. Social Media in this case is an invaluable resource. As long as you keep the screen time "for business" I count that as a positive (especially if you don't have any local training partners).

lack of or not enough sleep is a big one also. late nights early mornings. Also very true about the gym environment. (if having a choice) there has been times in the past where i've been the biggest (most developed) person in a small gym and as a result people ask your advice etc which can if you let it go to your head a little and you get complacent without realizing it. you still train hard but you don't realize until you switch gyms to then being once again 'average' that it motivates you to get bigger and to keep up with others and push yourself even harder (at least myself ive found that personally years ago in the past, I wasn't even fully aware at the time) big fish small pond vs small fish big pond

Best gains I made was when my diet was on point and I trained hard. The worst shape I was in was when my diet was off, and I did not train hard. It’s that simple. I was actually able to get near my best shape without PED’s when I took my training and diet a lot more seriously and I realised I did not need the PEDs anymore. The gains on PEDs made me lazy because the gains came a lot faster so I never appreciated the gains. Now that things are slower they are more satisfying to me. I’m not considering going down the road of PEDs anymore. Always thanks for the great video, they help a lot.

These are great points that make you take inventory of your training and personal habits. When I got back in the gym a year ago and changed my life I lost a few friends. They just didn't have the focus on health like I do so we are incompatible. My grandfather always told me you are the company you keep. Concerning the gym I can certainly relate to this one. I left my old "fitness" oriented gym which had the free weights and machines, poorly maintained, in the back of the building. Mainly a big box gym. I found a gym nearby that is owned by a former bodybuilding competitor with tons of equipment front and center. It's amazing how it changed my training and overall mentality. The atmosphere is motivating in itself. Besides they play old school rock and metal so I don't even use earbuds anymore. On another note... Awesome YoYo trick as usual !

Hi John! I'm 25 now, and I've been working out for 12 years. I acknowledged and accepted by now, that I don't have the most appropriate genetics for bodybuilding, but I can still strive to being my best, which I'm gonna do. I've learned so many things from you regarding bodybuilding, and you've been one of my idols since I've discovered your channel. But now, what I'm really trying to achieve is not being the bodybuilder like you anymore. Rather being the balanced, knowledgeable, hard-working sportsman, who you are. Prioritize between the different areas of life properly and being as good of a dad one day like you. Somehow I just realized from your son's yoyo tricks cut into these videos, that bodybuilding per se doesn't lead anywhere, only the hard work and discipline it teaches you. Thanks John.
