This is why I love watching men like David Goggins do what they do. We do a little hard work day in and day out and then you see guys like that and realize it’s just a drop of water in the bucket comparatively
anybody who's tried to coach others will recognize the wisdom at this table. how do you get somebody to work harder than they've ever worked before? it's uncharted waters! it's so important to meet people where they are at but also to surround them with examples of what is possible.
The tough thing for someone who doesn't have the level of knowledge that Dave and JM have in their particular field is that hard work reaches a point where you start to question whether you are investing your energy wisely or if you should restructure and optimize your methods.
I think the best solution to this is to honestly compare where you are now to where you were before. If your goals (weighy loss, weight gain, strength) haven't improved over a long period of time, then you are probably doing something wrong
You've really gotta surround yourself with some older, wiser, more-experienced people who might know what you're doing wrong. You're the average of the five people you spend the most time around. Gotta find the winners and start winning, Bo!
@@MeanBeanComedy I've always tried to do this, most of all as a musician. Not to be arrogant, but it's been hard for me to find people who are above my level, but that's the environment I thrive in. So much progress, because you just gotta get good to keep up. I don't wanna become the strongest guy in the gym, I fear I'll become lazy. If that happens (commercial gym, so maybe some day), I'm gonna have to find a more hard core gym and be the novice again.
A thing JM likes to get across is that it's all very simple. A basic program should work well enough, eat the appropriate amount of food, train hard, experiment when you get stuck and you should come out fine. Try not to over think it and just do the thing.
And wiser. Train intelligently for your age. I enjoy learning from your work. Grateful for your videos. All the best to everyone. Most difficult aspect for me is staying out of the gym. This 64 year old natural, needs to heal. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honesty is the answer, most of us lie to ourselves. Yes, having someone show you what is possible makes it easier, but you don't need the exemplar. I bulked from 85kg (187lbs) to 110kg (242 lbs) at 5'9"and it was disgusting. I felt sick all the time I got sleep apnea. Food went from pleasure to a pain. I hated every moment of it. But ... I got strong. And funnily enough after I cut my weight has now stabilised at 210lbs. Would I bulk up again, probably not. Now, in my 50s, I prefer to take the one more pound attitude. If I come out of the gym and can wring my shirt out I know I have given all I want to for that day. Once one learns to stop lying to oneself and say this is a far as I want to go then the question becomes Is this as far as I WANT to go? It is all about taking responsibility. I get the sense that people don't own their shit these days.
All of us can benefit from this reality check. The truth is deep down we know that we need to do more. Surround yourself with those who are stronger, wiser and more driven than we are. Then put in the work
This is my new favorite phrase. Ran my first marathon a few weeks ago in my Nobody Cares Work Harder shirt, courtesy of Cameron Hanes. Applies to all walks of life.
In my opinion it is important to know exactly what you want then and you must realise that the purpose is to get it in the here and now, or else it will be just a daydream. Every action you take must be one that is filled with this in mind, then you will be effective, then you will do efficient work and during the proces appreciate the fuck out of everything in the chain of advancement towards your objective.
This reminds me of a time I was working at a lumber mill. I would bust my ass and see two guys carrying together what I threw on my shoulder. They all worked super slow and I busted my ass. Yet, they were the ones making the good money and being noticed and I was ignored and making nothing. I could see them all talking shit about me from a distance too. They didn't even have the balls to say it to my face. It was a really shit situation. Eventually I said fuck it and started to just not care anymore and went elsewhere. It seems like in some situations hard work just ain't worth it lol. Kind of a shit way to think but I guess that's how it goes sometimes. I'll save the hard work for the gym. 😂 I should note I wasn't there to show off, I was there to get my family out of poverty.
I recently experienced this. I needed to eat an enormous amount to gain strength and size (from walking around weight 220 - 240 and adding 100 pounds to max squat bench dead).
@@MeanBeanComedy I complained about the eating to a friend of mine who's 250@12% bodyfat (not natty) and he was right, "It's hard gaining, but easy maintaining." I do block training now after the big size & weight gain where I added 20 pounds and ~100 to all 3 lifts and it's nowhere near as taxing. During the big gain (took a year, natty, no ped's), I was ~4000 calories/day with 2-3% (6-8 pounds) weight loss or fluctuation overnight. Now, staying at 240 and lifting less often (4 hours/week instead of 6), I can maintain 240 at around 3000 calories per day. About 1% weight loss overnight (2-3 pounds).
some people can strave and some can force feed but rarely one can do both guess i am one of those i can eat 800 cals a day and make it through i trained my mental toughness through cross country training in high school and i can eat 8000 cals in one sitting at mcdonalds done it many times, and i can eat 6000 cals daily no problems but ithrough experience eating mostly junk food doesn't worka s well altough prime grade gear does alot and forgives alot
This also can relate to life... You think your life is tough and your grinding hard. But often you can grind even harder then you ever imagined.

its amazing listening to JM on the perspective of life and hardships, thank you for this
Ty JM…. Good to hear from a bench legend
Wisdom. You know it’s wise when it applies across multiple disciplines.
Gracias from Texas 👍

😤😤🔥🔥🔥🔥real shi right here!!!!!
Always thoughtful conversations with JM 👍
Thank you
Any JM and Dave discussion is best JM and Dave discussion.
JM never fails to impress!

This is awesome. Great motivational video. Someone always has it worse than us, but seeing them push through is incredible.

How hard is it now to maintain that weight thru eating now?
