diet, diet, diet. when i started i started 10 years ago i was so focused i never missed a workout, and i would be in the gym for a couple hours at a time. i remember reading over and over agin people saying that 75-90% of your training is what you eat, but for years i didnt believe it. now i have no doubt that this is true. i think if i focused on my diet better in those first years i could be a lot further along than i am now.
