In the gym, if you try to look like a stud when you are not, you will embarrass yourself. You will either get hurt or look foolish. Maybe, even both. The best thing you can do is stick to the basics, overload your muscles in a slow and progressive way, and develop your strength through consistent practice.
Isn’t this the way to go in any endeavor we choose to pursue?
Imagine a soldier on the battlefield. Before ever seeing the battlefield, that soldier spent hundreds of hours in training. He did the work to perfect his skills on an individual and a team level. Before gaining competency, the soldier had to start out as a new recruit.
Studs in the workplace? It is the same concept. Knowledge must be acquired. Proficiency must be demonstrated. Trying to be something you are not would damage your reputation and put you on the slow track to advancement.
If you want to be a stud later, you have to be a pud now.
Christopher Sommer, former U.S. national team gymnastics coach and founder of Gymnasticbodies
There is nothing wrong with starting out at the bottom. You won’t be there forever. As you refine your skills and grow in experience, you can rise to the top. You could be the stud that others look up to and depend on.
