How much, in your opinion, does work ethic play a role in weight training?

I make it a habit to read a lot. It doesn't matter if it's from a magazine, a dot E-D-U website, a textbook, a history book, a philosophy book, or a blog by some athlete. I gather stuff to read, and then read them... Four hours a day, every day, over and over again until I get sick of the stuff, and then reread multiple more times. And then I move on to new reading materials and repeat.

It's part of the job of a philosopher to do that. It's its own job. Women don't trust me because they know that once I get them hooked with how fascinating I am, they wouldn't be able to resist me. That's why they keep their distance.

Unless you're dealing with a girl who wants to sleep with a very dark badboy that even other badboys fear. And I know how to spot those ladies. ;)

Just take 2 steps to the left. People who spend most of their time hitting the heavy bag for training get confused with range when their opponent moves more than 30cm.

@trabadho calling everyone fat and picking fights but saying other people are bullying him...

TS is just some losers alt who disappeared after getting the dubs and has come back after the other account got banned/dubbed post xmas.
 
Genetics matter more. You can have someone with somewhat suboptimal training and they can still make gains as long as they are somewhat consistent with their training.

Also the Baby Hanma and Trabaho collab would be awesome. It would be like the Kengan and Baki crossover.

This thread started out interesting and really went to hell.

Work ethic is hugely important to any activity. @Baby Hanma - have you read Talent is Overrated?
 
Work ethic with commom sense is huge.
Work ethic diet recovery (esp sleep) and genetics

When you work hard your body responds. You micro tear your muscles and they adapt to the new stress. You recover so they repair. You eat so they build and you feel energized trough a healthy diet.

Work ethic and consistency is apsolutely huge. Better mediocre program and strong ethic, then great program and sub par effort.

If you do totally stupid things obviously it's gonna work way less.

To get back on topic

No. Is it a good book? I might grab it. It’s just that I have a library of books I haven’t read yet.

I will say, though, that if the author is not qualified, I wouldn’t read it.

It was. It's an examination of whether chalking a person's success/ability in a given area to natural born talent is bullshit (although he doesn't put it that way) and that such success is almost always directly related to the hours spent working/practicing. It looks at lots of examples from musicians to athletes to chess players. Wish I had read it when I was younger.

Thanks! I’ll go check it out.

I have a book called “The Professor in the Cage: Why Men Fight and Why We Like to Watch.” It’s a book that teaches you that being a real-life Baki character is okay.
