"That's the classic nature of people, though. We'll skip the basics and get pissed when the sexy stuff doesn't work." - Martin Rooney

I love that one. I will have to use it from time to time.

Tommy Kono on weight and how it impacts totals in Olympic lifting:

The fastest increase in totals continues on the average for 8 years, following which progress slows down. How long totals will continue to grow depends on the weight class of the athlete – from 11 to 16 years. The heavier the weight class, the longer totals continue to grow.

Thanks Big Swede. Another:

“I know of only a few truisms, one being [that] if your parents didn’t have children, you won’t have children. Another is whenever you make a strength program easier, you will get weaker.” —Bill Starr

Ditto. One of the best quotes I've read in a while.

Only people willing to work to the point of discomfort on a regular basis using effective means to produce that discomfort will actually look like they have been other-than-comfortable most of the time.

You can thank the muscle magazines for these persistent misconceptions, along with the natural tendency of all normal humans to seek reasons to avoid hard physical exertion.
