Gains goblins. Those things in your life that rob you of what otherwise would be your hard-earned gains on strength, muscle size, endurance or whatever other thing you want to develop by training.
It can be anything: a person (like that gym bro that maybe distracts you more than it's good for you), a medical condition, a commitment, or what is usually most common (and be honest here, because for most people it is one in this category), a bad habit of yours, amongst others.
Feel free to share.
At this point, age I think. Don't want to doxx myself, but I'm thoroughly middle aged and I think I've maxed out what I can do without gear given my age. I'm almost at a three plate one rep max for bench, 435 lbs squat, almost 500 lbs deadlift. Without juicing or at least testosterone supplementation, I think this is probably about the best I can do. Which is fine, I'm plenty strong for someone that just wants to be strong and isn't an athlete or something.
Those are some good lifts at any age. For what I see, in this community we have an overall higher level than the one I expected there to be.
Thanks. And yeah, I agree. There are some seriously strong folks here and it's nice to see.
