The body building world and fitness industry can be quite fickle and toxic at times. Having spent years in the competitions I’ve often found those that who tend to talk the most have the least to say.
I’m not the greatest talker or communicator that’s for sure and I don’t think I’ve ever been accused of talking too much! In the gym I’m always focused on my body workout first and foremost. Without the focus on my workout sessions, I would not have reached the level of competition success. I see too much of small talk in the gym and during training sessions. Here are some of my strategies for remaining humble bodybuilder.
- Stop comparing yourself to others
- Remain teachable
- Let your physique and reputation do the talking
- Accept setbacks, and finally
- Surround yourself with positive people and influences.
