limitless by definition is "without end, limit, or boundary". it is a term that i like to follow in everything i do. a lot of times i truly believe that people don't get the results they want because they are limiting themselves and actually holding themselves back. this is not just referencing training this is in everything you do in life. but for an instance in training i would like to give this example. if you were the very first person to lift a weight ever in history would you do 10 reps per set? i doubt it highly! 10 is some imaginary number that everyone thinks will get them bigger or stronger or build muscle. another thing that i often think of is so often people ask me in the gym "hey wolf how many sets? "ok how many reps?" my answer is usually 4 sets of 12 or whatever it may be for that exercise. but what i really feel like saying is STOP WORRYING ABOUT IT AND GO UNTIL YOU CANT AND THEN DO IT AGAIN! there is this plague that is sweeping across gyms and really across the nation for that matter. i call it the "just enough disease" people always want to do just enough. There is the get rich by just reading a book scam. there is the only work out 30 minutes and get ripped scam. there is the how to get bigger arms by only working 15 minutes a day. so whats the problem you ask? sounds awesome right? not to me there is some key words inside those sentences that i hate and they are "just" and "only" that means you are not trying your hardest. and giving it 100% of what you have. can you get rich by "just" reading a book. no i dont think so. but if you could can you imagine if you did more than "just" reading that book what if you took it 2 or 3 or 10 steps further? i bet if you did more you would be even more rich in theory if that book did make you rich.
another thing that really gets to me is i often see people limiting someone else. i go back to when i was a kid. maybe 6 or 7 i was limitless 100% to the T of the definition the sky nearly the beginning for me i did not want limits i wanted to jump higher, run faster, and be bigger than anyone. that was my mindset. and thankfully my mom let me. she never put limits on me because she knew i would break them. i remember my mom used to let me ride my bike all around the neighborhood but... i couldnt go passed the stop sign at the end of the street. guess how long that lasted? about 3 days and i was a mile passed that stop sign and riding all over town! it wasnt until i got into my later school years that i had people weigh me down and put limits in my head. i was told i had ADHD and i wouldnt be able to perform like other kids in school. i was told by teachers to my face that i would be lucky if i graduated high school. i was told by my peers that i wasn't strong enough. so guess what i did i got stronger by training 7 days a week. i graduated high school. and no i didnt perform like other kids in school because i wasnt like other kids in school. i dont like systems i dont like conforming the the same zombie mindset so often people have. i am me and i am going to continue to be me. so dont limit people because you dont know how far that digs into them. if i would have followed the limits that people would have set forth for me in my younger days i cant even imagine where i would be. i wouldnt have graduated, i would be taking medication for my ADHD that would have changed my behavior possibly for the worst. and i would probably be 400lbs and unhappy with myself. why would you limit someone especially at that young of an age. it doesnt make sense to me, you have no idea what someone is capable of or what thy will do in the future.
so now down to the nitty gritty when this relates to training. STOP HOLDING YOURSELF BACK! if you want to be an animal train like one. if you want to lift 800lbs then damn it train like you want it. if you want 23 inch arms dont do 3 sets of curls and expect to get there. be limitless do what others arent willing to do to achieve it and i can say with 100% certainty you will get it. if someone were to ask me a year ago if i would be where i am today i probably would have said no probably not because i had a limited mindset for myself. now i literally have a plan and a vision of what i will be a year from now and i know how i will get it. i can see the way i want to look and i know what tools i have to use to get there. stop worrying about what others think! i see a lot of smaller guys come into the gym and act like they are lost and i finally realized they aren't lost they are scared of being judged by lifting small weights and struggling to get those last few reps and they don't want to look weak. all i have to say to that is you are probably doing more work than the bigger guy that is trying to throw around weight and boost his ego. if anyone pokes fun at you let me know and i will handle it. everyone starts somewhere and if you start with a limitless mindset you are farther than most that have been in the gym for years. mindset is everything in life. you have to approach everything with your foot to the floor and the throttle all the way open.
i leave this long post that has turned into a bit of a rant with this quote. "if you limit yourself you will have limited results"
