Work On These Areas To Become A Better Man

I'm not talking about your bench press numbers.

I'm talking about why you quit every program after two weeks. Why you choose Netflix over the gym. Why you're tired all the time but blame it on "being busy."

You tell yourself you're working hard. You're doing everything "right" but still 
feeling stuck. But you're actually working against yourself and avoiding the real problems.

Everyone thinks they need to train harder. Longer sessions. More volume. More suffering.

That's the lie.

Ben Pakulski built 283lbs of stage-ready mass as an IFBB Pro. But here's the kicker:
he's stronger now at 40+ doing half the work.

His secret? He stopped training through balls and started training through brains.

In this conversation, Ben reveals:

• Why your approach is making you weaker, not stronger
  

• Why your genetics might be working against your current training style
  

• Why most guys are sabotaging themselves without realising it

This isn't about your ego but about becoming the type of man who actually follows through.

Here's what I wish someone had told me years ago…

⚠️ You're fighting your genetics - Your body can't handle the volume you're throwing at it, and it backfires.

⚠️ You're confusing working hard with smart - You think more pain equals more gain. It doesn't.

⚠️ You're avoiding your actual weaknesses - You focus on what you're already good at instead of fixing what's limiting you.

⚠️ You're lying about your energy - You think you're lazy. But actually you're just running on empty.

We've all been there. You're not lazy. You're not weak. You're just missing the right path.
