“You can be anything you want” I bet you were you told this in school What what a load of BS Lets be real about it If I wanted to be a body double for David Beckham I’d struggle… Ok extreme example but you get the idea Now I’m like just under 5ft 10 so as a striker you would think I would be pretty crap in the air Competing against 6ft plus centre backs I’d have no chance right Wrong For my height I was decent Infact for my height I’d score waaay more headers than you’d expect How… I had a plan Firstly from goalkicks I’d stay as far away from where I thought the keeper would kick it as I could But close enough so I could run there & get there just as the ball arrived Now dumb centre halves would always stand exactly where they thought the ball would land So I’d be challenging them in the air from a sprint when they were jumping from being still They also couldn’t feel or see where I was & I always jumped as early as possible so I’d be higher than them if we made contact I also led with my arm EVERY TIME which you can imagine helped for various reasons From corner kicks I’d stand at the back post away from all the big lads & next to the little guy who’s job was to just stand there As the corner taker started his run up I’d head towards the opposite corner of the 6 yard box Usually with no one following me or they’d get caught up in the bodies & I’d meet the ball on my own ready to head it in If someone did mark me I had a plan as well Just before the taker started his run I’d push my marker as hard as I could away & make my move 9 times out of 10 the ref wouldn’t notice Basically there was no way I was gonna let height or lack of it be a limiting factor in my game & I got round this with a plan When you’re training genetics 100% plays a part But get this right I honestly don’t feel they’re a limiting factor Yes there are body types good at building muscle & dropping fat and ones that aren’t All that means is it’s slightly harder… It doesn’t mean its impossible Where you land on that spectrum you cant do anything about What you can do something about is your attitude to it Yeah you’re skinny but that doesn’t mean you have to stay that way Or everyone in your family is overweight but you don’t have to copy them Take the shackles off of your mind & you’ll never know what you can achieve & once you’ve done that all you need then is a plan Something you can stick to Trial to see if it works Change it if it doesn’t & continue this process until you nail it By all means crack on with this process on your own & if you have any questions around building muscle as a hard gainer Or dropping fat when you’re naturally stocky Fire away my man Marcus ‘Hang Time’ Duharty PS The programmes I run offer both mindset support & plans to follow To enquire about costs & details fill in this short form https://marcusduharty.wufoo.eu/forms/online-training-enquiry/ DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE BOOKLETDiscover how BUSY Professional Guys are Building Head Turning Bodies!
