I get asked questions in the gym occasionally by guys who are looking for advice on training, diet, etc. One of the things I noticed over the years is that a lot of guys will ask for advice and then when it isn’t what they want to hear or is harder than they expected, they will argue with you. I used to try to reason with them and convince them that what I was telling them was really the best thing to do. But over the years, I’ve given up because most people won’t even take the advice of a doctor who tells them to lose weight, change their life style or exercise- OR DIE. They want a pill.

So, I will still help out anyone who asks, but I won’t argue with them any more. As the saying goes- “Never argue with idiots, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” Well not exactly, but it is pointless to argue with someone who really doesn’t want to change. All you can do is try to make them want to change. Then you have a fighting chance.
