Starting the week well and then tapering
off, making excuses and allowing other commitments to get in the way or just
straight up laziness. The reasons for avoiding the gym are numerable and
varied. Lack of motivation and the ease of turning a blind eye to your own poor
levels of commitment often get in the way of an athletic physique. Many people

And that’s the key. It’s not the quality of
training that makes the bigges...
