so true. the reason is people HATE to see other people improving themselves, its just human nature for a lot of people.
bucket of crabs example.
fishermen never put lids on their buckets full of crabs, even when filled to the top. this is because if one crab starts trying to escape, the other crabs will pull it back in the bucket.
same idea applies with lifting. we're trying to improve ourselves, everyone else doesnt like that, so they try to pull us down. its funny how when i didnt lift or diet no one ever said, hey mispronounced, have some ice cream and pizza, enjoy yourself. now all the time people are trying to get me to cheat on the diet, cmon son
