Build muscles fast?

Just been idly flipping through some old muscle building magazines. A lot of ads for supplements, books, equipment and so forth. It's amazing that so many use terms such as "Build muscle fast" and "Add 25 lbs of rock solid muscle in 10 weeks".

Turning my attention to some of the articles; couldn't help noticing in the body of some of the stories how many years some of the guys had been training for to get where they were.

More like 10 years NOT 10 weeks.

Perhaps they just hadn't noticed the ads when they stared out - they sure missed something!!

Truth in advertising has a long way to go!

The trick is to get enjoyment from your workouts no matter where you are on the progress meter. It truly is the journey and not the destination. Enjoy the journey and the destination will take care of itself.
