1. AGGRESSIVE STRENGTH QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"The fear of criticism robs man of his initiative, destroys his power of imagination, limits his individuality, takes away his self-reliance, and does him damage in a hundred other ways."
- Napoleon Hill
People often fall into two categories, those who do and those who criticize those that do. It is not surprising that there are far more people in the second category. Why? Because, it is much easier to be a loser that puts other people down to feel better about him or herself, than it is to be a winner that is too busy achieving goals and does not waste time with gossiping.
Top MMA fighter Frank Shamrock told me once that someone told him he was lucky for winning five UFC middleweight championships straight. Frank laughed and stated that he must be the luckiest guy in the world. Anyone who knows anything about Frank, knows that he worked super smart and hard to get to where he is. Of course, it is much easier to sit on the sidelines and slam people that are in the game than it is to jump in the game and put it all on the line.
Instead of being an idiot that wastes time putting others down, study the moves of successful people and apply them to your life to get what you want. Make sure you grow a layer of thick skin, as the criticism vampires will be gunning for you once you start leaving the pool of mediocrity.

2. AGGRESSIVE STRENGTH TRAINING ARTICLE
The Best Program Is The One That You Are Not On!
The other day, I read a post form a guy on a fitness forum raving that Mike Mentzer's "Heavy Duty" program is the best one. He stated that he was at a plateau for some time and made serious gains on the "Heavy Duty" program in two months. Now the real reason that Mentzer's program worked so well for this guy, is due to the fact that it was a complete change from what he was previously doing.
Many times, when a trainee tries a new program, they make progress and immediately think that the program is the best around. However, if they stick with the same program long enough, their gains will inevitably stall. Do not run a program into the ground before realizing that it is time to move on. Change routines every six weeks to avoid plateaus. Just do not have the illusion that every new program you try is the best one. No program will work forever and that is a good thing. Imagine how boring it would be to stay on the same program indefinitely.
