Question the Conventional

You are weak!

“You are only as strong as you are weak.”   I have said that a lot in the last few days, referring to why you use supplemental and auxillary lifts to increase your main lifts.   The purpose of those lifts is to  work on  your weaknesses.   For instance, I was squatting today and I couldn’t get over 440.    It felt good going down but coming up I couldn’t prevent it from pitching me forward, even with the elbows thrown forward.   So I can only conclude that my upper back and/or abs/lower back  are weak.   I hate abs and I don’t work them that much, so it would make sense that that is what is weak.

This  is true in life, not  just in the weight room.   If somoene is very rude  that person  probably won’t have a lot of friends, so therefore their inability to be nice is  that weak  aspect of them.   Until they fix  it they will not have a happy life.  

You are only as strong as you are weak.
