I personally like being a little more comfortable. but thats why I have a mediocre physique (in relationship to my position in the fitness industry.. I'm sure its just fine in regards to your average dad in his mid 40s).. but thats also why I realize my limiting factors, strength and weakness, and know I'm a way better coach and trainer then I'm a bodybuilder.
I'm not willing to do what it takes in those regards.. however, I am willing to do what it takes in other things. I will stay up until 3am reading every damn book on bodybuilding.. I will research and study every AAS profile in existence. I will read studies done on the elderly and animals. I will waste 5 hours of my day just looking into simple little things related to these topics.
a lot of guys couldn't stomach doing that type of research for even an hour , let alone hours a day for years on end.
so we all should "do whatever it takes" , but within our own context and place in life. not do whatever it takes based on what someone else is doing or accomplishing.
