I remember watching a video of Ox and PJ Braun training delts about a year ago, and I thought I would share this quote from Ox with all you bros. I think this was the best piece of advice he gave throughout the whole video.
"People think that there are secret movements or you are going to go train with this guy and he is going to teach you some cockamainy thing thats to bring out your glutes or something stupid. Its not about that. Its about hard work. I don't know how else to put it. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself instead of just walking in the gym and saying oh my god I wonder what so and so is training. I wonder what Victor Martinez is doing, I wonder what Branch Warren does, I wonder what Phil Heath does. Fuck that ya know. You have to go in there and just punish yourself, just punish yourself. Pick up some fuckin' weight and just move it. Ya know press it, pull it, do whatever you gotta do. Just work hard, its not about how many reps I did with this weight or how many sets I did of this exercise or was my form just perfect. Sometimes you just gotta go, just go and don't over think it. Don't get me wrong I am guilty of it too, but sometimes we over complicate stuff like how many grams of protein and how many calories and how many sets and how many reps and how much weight. Sometimes you just gotta go, just do it. A lot of you people know more than you think you know. Someone else doesn't always have the answer, you guys gotta give yourself more credit than that."
