"I know how to work out. I don't need any help."

One part rant and one part blog post-


 I can't tell you how many people who I run into who tell me they "know how to workout" and that they don't need any help or coaching. Interestingly enough, the majority of these people who "know how to workout" do not have one ounce of visible muscle and if there weren't wearing workout clothes, I wouldn't even know that they exercise.
Here's the thing: Most people give too much credit and too much blame to genetics.
 They think everyone who is strong or has visible muscle is either on steroids or is genetically gifted, and they seem to think that even though they know how to work out and they eat pretty good, they must just have bad genetics because they can't really build muscle.
This is simply WRONG.
Working out with weights works.
Building muscle is not easy, but it is simple.
If someone has been working out for more than 2 months and is not noticeably different looking and feeling then they are doing something WRONG. Done correctly, strength training builds muscle. A lot of muscle. 
If someone has been strength training for a year or more, it should be very evident to everyone that that person "works out." So congrats to all of you for being open enough to learn from someone else and to implement training that works. And if you know someone who "knows how to workout" but doesn't really look like they do (you know, because they have bad genetics or something) send them my way. We'll put some muscle on them. ;-))
