10 things I have seen the majority of highly successful strength athletes do

 
 
 
1. Eating enough carbs: show me a strong person on ketosis, and I will show you someone who could be stronger with carbs.
2. Working hard and smart: some work so hard that others wrongly assume their spine will explode.
3. Recovering and deloading adequately: this allows them to continuously keep up with the demands of previous hard and smart training.
4. Following personalized programs: a program should address your weaknesses, not a cookie cutter design as you get more advanced.
5. Not obsessing over supplements: Very few successful strength athletes worry excessively if they forgot to take a preworkout.
6. Not bickering on the internet: Repeatedly getting into internet screaming matches cuts into eating and lifting time.
7. Adapting: being open to changes allows for greater results if things turn sour.
8. Understanding differences: Not everyone participates in your sport, understanding different rules apply to different athletes, and that is OK.
9. Squatting.
10. Learning from losing: experience is what you get when you do not get what you want. Learn from it
