Growing Disappointed

 I am writing this because I am growing disappointed with my efforts to grow a massive physique.  I have been working out for close to 4 years and I work hard to achieve but I seem to get minimal results.  I eat lots of protein, whole foods and shakes.  I am beginning to feel as though I should cut the weight and work on fitness because I cannot accomplish my goal like I would like to.

Not everyone can be huge and muscular, just like not everyone can run a mile in five minutes or play concert piano or hit a bull’s eye at 100 yards. You’re doing the right things, but if it’s dragging you down, reassess your goals, your potentials, your strengths and weakness, and reassert your goals with renewed commitment, or redefine them.

Disappointment is as common as fleas on a hound, but if it persists, life becomes a heavy weight and joy is seldom realized.

No tricks… ill-gotten gains are costly.
