guys... stop the hate... its obvious y'all aren't HARDCORE. Please... allow me to elaborate...
If your past 8 months of training hasn't been "hell" - then you aren't HARDCORE.
If you dont go to the gym w/ 10 chicken breasts and a 5lb sack of red potatoes - then you aren't HARDCORE.
If you don't train for 8 hours all day, every day of the week - then you aren't HARDCORE.
If you don't wear ankle high boots, a spaghetti strap shirt exposing 75% of your upper body and a bad ass black beanie to the gym - then you aren't HARDCORE.
If you don't get your mom to take pictures of you in the gym after hours in various ultra hardcore poses (no homo) with weight you probably cant control properly - then you aren't HARDCORE.
With that said, I'm like 99% of the people here - I'm just not HARDCORE.
