Following the Process.
There's no cheating the steps that need to be followed. There's a process that if followed and trusted in will bring the result you're after.
Which guy wouldn't want to be bigger and feel more confident?
But sometimes before you can commit to the long-game where size is the prize, you have to get yourself ready for it.

It's a constant conversation that you have with yourself.
The difference between people who see real results in their training and those who don't is that they're better at controlling their impulses.
Learning how to ignore the voice that's telling you it's OK to not do the thing you don't want to do is the "secret" sauce.
Once you can ignore that impulse, then you have to accept that you're going to have to ignore it for a good chunk your training life over the years. Every time you do, you're making a conscious judgement call on why getting it done is worth more than skipping it.
