I used to be..

In the Iron Game, there is a barrage of situations that just, well, piss you off. Squat rack curlers, jumping on a swiss ball, working on biceps 'peak', this list could go on for a long time.

But this one thing I’m about to mention has to stop.

We've all been there, we've all met the guy that use to be better than you. While you're drinking some post workout concoction, they are telling you about how they use to be bigger than you, stronger then you, leaner then you. But they aren't anymore.

Excuses include not having time, hurting themselves, or my personal favorite "getting too big and muscular".

Today they are drinking a gallon of Mountain Dew while smoking a cigarette, but five years ago they where benching double what you are and had to use a Q-tip to clean out the lines between their abs.

To these people, please, shut up.

Nobody cares what you did in the past, it doesn’t matter. Even if you did reach these feats, today, nobody sees you like that. They see the fat guy in the corner eating a Twinkie or maybe the skinny manorexic guy. That’s what everyone sees. That's what you ARE.

Screw the past. Fuck glory days. Be the best for today.
