Have a read of this guys...

I was just having a look at a few reviews of the book, "The Testosterone Advantage Plan" and thought this guys review reflected an attitude which is so typical of many people these days:

Review #3
Ranking 2
I just finished the 9-week program, which the authors wisely emphasize is just meant to get you started. I complied with the diet about 80 percent of the time, and the workouts about the same. I have gained a small but noticeable amount of muscle definition in my shoulders and arms, but I lost only about six or seven pounds ... roughly half of what I had expected based on the testimonials in the book. I'm pulling my belt in one more notch, but still wearing the same size pants, so I didn't lose the four or five inches their test subjects claim to have.
The diet is easy enough to follow, and includes enough recipes to not be too monotonous, especially if you use the principles to find additional meals. But at this rate, it will take me a year to reach my goal weight, and I know I won't follow it that long unless I get some significant success much sooner than that.

Did you see that last sentence? here is is again:

"But at this rate, it will take me a year to reach my goal weight, and I know I won't follow it that long unless I get some significant success much sooner than that."

Unbelievable, one measly, stinking year to get the body he's always dreamed of and he won't even attempt to stick it out unless he gets miraculous results fast. Perhaps he doesn't realise that the 7 pounds he's lost doesn't reflect the lean muscle he's gained, but with that attitude he can stay fat for all i care.

Anyone else seen this attitude among people they know?

so what does this plan involve?

probably nothing new, here's the site:

Probably nothing that can't be found for free on any bodybuilding forums (or this one). There some stuff about gaining muscle with compound movements instead of focusing on aerobics and eating plenty of protein instead of the high carb, low fat diets etc.

I agree. Excercise generally should not be undertaken for short term gains. It should be a way of life. When people accept it as central to their lifestyle, their goals will evetually be reached.

It amazes me how people "go on a diet" or work out routine for X weeks.

As soon as a person goes off thier diet or routine, eventually they're back where they were.

I agree. You have to look at it as a life style change that's forever.

This sort of thing amuses me. I've been training over 10 years and still don't have the body I want and never will have. That's why I am continually striving to improve. Never stand still.
