Universal Nutrition & Animalpak.com - Intensity Or Insanity: Part 2

I lived each waking moment anticipating the ass kickin' workouts that lay ahead that day and wondering how in hell I would be able to overcome them.

I've read most of that story elsewhere, and it is interesting stuff. However, one of the latter pages of an article insinuates that short, low-volume workouts are for lazy people, which royally pisses me off. Gee whiz, I guess I must be lazy for not having the one-in-a-zillion genetics that would allow me to embark on Ahnold-esque training without turning into overtrained, burnt-out mush. I must also be a real bum for building my routine around major compound exercises, lifting weight that's heavy for me, challenging myself, and putting as much focus and energy into each workout as possible. After all, I spend less than three hours in the gym each day, so that's obviously no better than sitting on my ass, watching Springer, and snarfing Cheetos. I guess the definition, bit of mass, and strength I've gained over the past year and a half are figments of my imagination, being that I'm such a sloth and all that.

Normal people will NEVER understand this stuff!

I hope someday to meet Mr. Defendis. I will keep my mouth shut and my ears open just like I did when I had a rare oppurtunity to watch Steve Michalik in action. I have been a personal trainer in the Lake Mary area for nearly 11 years now on a full time basis and have never stopped learning. While this type of training is obviously not for everyone, only a portion of it's principles will reveal your true personality! It's not just about the mind or the muscle. It is about the will to get off of the floor and come back the next day to try again to become stronger. Failure is only the result of quitting instead of trying to realize what the body can truly do when forced to change due to extreme training conditions. Steve Michalik is an "out of the box" genius in this industry. If I am lucky enough to learn one tenth of what John Defendis already knows I will be more successful than I've ever been. I am not afraid to fail, I am only afraid of not trying! Thank you. Gary Birchell

Exclamation holy ****

Steve seems like a monster!!! It is like if you looked him in the eyes he would reach down your throat and rip out your heart mortal kombat style. I did think this was very inspiring and it had a lot of good quotes. I do share in the writers hatred of non-hardcore gyms. I saw one kid in my school workout room call someone on his cellphone in-between bench presses. To bad Steve was not there lol. That is why I workout at home.
