every time men's health puts a picture of a guy with
washboard abs on their cover, news-stand sales go
up. why well, if everyone had washboard abs, it's
unlikely that men would buy a magazine that
teaches them how to get that physique.
the very scarcity of this attribute makes it attractive.
weight training is a fascinating science. basically,
you do a minute or two of work for no reason other
than to tire out your muscle so that the last few
seconds of work will cause that muscle to grow.
like most people, all day long, every day, you use
your muscles. but they don't grow. you don't look
like mr. universe because you quit using your
muscles before you reach the moment where the
stress causes them to start growing. it's the natural
thing to do, because an exhausted muscle feels
unsafe - and it hurts.
people who train successfully pay their dues for the
first minute or two and then get all the benefits at
the very end. unsuccessful trainers pay exactly the
same dues but stop a few seconds too early.
it's human nature to quit when it hurts. but it's that
reflex that creates scarcity."
