I know I am blowing up my feed today, but tomorrow will be a very full day, and I want to get this series over. You know the one? About how you can come out and train at the elitefts s5 compound.
Quickly, I want to say there is a sign on every door that enters the gym, that on those mats have stood many of the strongest lifters in the world. From teamelitefts members, visitors, underground strength sessions and other closed training sessions, there are few gyms in the world that can say the same. Even fewer that are not public access. By no means am I saying it’s the only one, but one of very few. Outside of seminars, this is special invite and permission only.
We have made invitations to a couple lifters from Columbus, but they said the drive was too far. This, right there, will never lead to an invitation back as they just proved to me they are “fake serious.”
When I trained at Westside in the '90s, I can remember: three lifters driving from London (30-40 mins), one from Cleveland (over two hours), one from Cincinnati (over two hours), one from Dayton (over an hour), two from Newark (over an hour), one from Port Clinton (over an hour), one from Delaware (an hour), you get the point. Here’s the other thing. I didn’t know where the hell any of them came from, nor did I care. After 5-6 years I figured it out. It was NO BIG DEAL because they did what they had to do, and I know I’m forgetting some.
You can’t drive 20-30 minutes to train with people who can, and are willing to, help you for free?
REALLY!
Take this as a clue. You may love training, but you’re not serious about getting better.
Or... you might just know more than everyone else and don’t need the help. Good luck with that too!
If you expect others to be there to help you, then you better damn well be there to help them when they need it.
These are things you can work on while you “practice” being serious.
Getting closer now to what I look for.
