The Strong Ones (Part 1)

Matt Kroc does chins with Wendler and Rob Pilger looking on. In the background is AJ Roberts, Currently of WestSide Barbell, and if you look closely you can see Alwyn cosgrove in the far corner (blue t-shirt). That's a group that gets my full attention.

I wrote an article that published on EliteFTS a while back about surrounding yourself with like-minded people, successful people and going out and finding them if they are not in your current circle.

This is such an important thing to do, not just for the strength gains you seek but for success in all aspects of life. Think about it this way, if you hang around with a group of friends that spend every single weekend getting shit-faced at the local bar, I'll bet there's a good chance you get your drink on every weekend too. If you always dreamed of being the local alcoholic and waste case, then by all means, seek out the town drunks and start smashing that liver.

On the other hand, you may want to be a succesful business owner (yeah, I'm refferring to myself here) so you seek the advice and company of other succesful business people.

And most importantly you want to be BULL ASS STRONG! Don't be the hater that talks shit under his breath about the crew of bulls that are squatting bar bending loads. Start chatting with them (not when they are about to get under the bar though), ask questions, show up when they train, watch, listen, let them know you are not only interested but also dedicated to improving. Find the strongest guys and learn from them. Ideally you will want to train with them. Don't expect to get the invite instantly.

In part 2 I will outline where to find these people and how to go about getting in the clique.
