You think it's helping others, but I've seen free too many times, and it's rejected for that which costs them because they are bought-in with cost, literally.

I had a badly damaged back and was on the way out of elite powerlifting. He helped me start from ground zero, rebuild back to 100 percent, and in the process he taught me what being a true athlete is. McGill not only helped me regain my lower back athleticism and become pain free, he also taught me how to get more bang for my buck with newer and better versions of exercise that I’d been doing for decades.

We punish ourselves for little to no reward and put our body through hell. We do it because we love it, not because we always enjoy the process. You'll likely hate it. Sometimes often, but it's worth it.

You start to ‘get’ how with age comes wisdom and even though at the time you felt that you had it figured out, the more you learn, the more you realize you don’t know.

This its self is a terrifying realization that many of us have toward the end of our lifting careers.

If only youth brought wisdom; But it doesn’t work this way, as we know.
