Of course they do, but you have to be smart about it.
Give 100% to what you are doing that day.
If you are training, then train hard, if you are relaxing with family and friends, then give them your full attention.
Training requires total concentration, if that is your task that day, nothing less will do.
Family and friends should also have your full attention when you are with them. Once again, nothing less will do.
Don’t confuse the two different types of days!
Remember, very few people, if any, will give a rip about your training; so don’t bore them with it. Talking about your training, nutrition, or discipline with people who could care less about those things is pointless.
Remember, most people don’t “get it”, so save your enthusiasm for the gym.
When you get to the gym, garage, or back yard to train then absolutely crush it! Relentlessly attack your training. Grunt and yell all you want. Don’t settle for less than your total effort on every rep!
