Why this site is unpopular

I started this site because I saw a lot of bad information out there about how to get strong. I know it's out there because I've waded through most of it. Along the way armed with less than seriously proven strength training programs, I've injured myself. I've had terrible plateaus that would go on for months. I've had the worst kind of diets that have caused me to get sick. The point is what I write about to make strength gains has been backed by hard fought research gained through blood, sweat and tears. The problem is my training programs are  hard.

I guess when people clicked on the link to this website, they thought there was going to be some quick fix or a little pill they could swallow, and magically muscles would pop out of their chest and arms, or I was going to talk about aligning their chakras or connecting with their spirit animals or some other silly nonsense.

Cambered bar bench presses are scary stuff. You can hurt your shoulders doing them.  Pause back squats are equally as painful and  terrifying. Who wants to eat eggs all day?  Who wants to do single rep sets using all the strength you can muster? The answer is not many.

You  have to be a special kind of person to do my workouts. You have to be a trouble shooter first off. You have to have the ability to analyze your plateaus. You have to break down the range of motion into individual muscle groups that need to be strengthened. Secondly, you need to have a high tolerance for pain. Everything from the lifting to the eating even to the resting involves some kind of pain. You ever eat a bunch of eggs after you workout?Your muscles feel like they're about to split in half. But that pain is muscle growth.  Lastly, you need courage. A four hundred pound weight on the back of your neck is scary. A three hundred pound weight suspended in air above your chest is equally frightening.

Strength training is not for weak minded individuals. These are the kinds of  people who probably look at you at the gym and ask themselves what is that weirdo doing? All the while, they're still lifting the same weights. I had an experience at an old gym of mine. After couple of years of not being there, I went back, and what did I see? The same narrow minded people who would mock me or make little asides to themselves or their friends had the same weak scrawny bodies, and they were lifting the same wimpy weights.

I think those are the people who are frustrated when they come to this blog and expect to find a quick fix to their plateau but find there is no shortcut to strength gains. I don't know. Maybe
