<p>Ego is a big deal for most guys; it plays a big role when there is a guy to guy competition or challenge. How do we learn to control our ego? We control our ego through having knowledge and being smart. Lets take lifting weights for example!</p>
<p>Everyone wants to lift more then the guy standing next to him, well based on what I have seen in the gym; most people lift heavy but they don&#8217;t do it in the right form. They don&#8217;t let the muscle fully contract and fully expand while doing their work out exercise. As a result they don&#8217;t get the benefit of lifting. There is a guy that I always see lifting weights almost every time I go to the gym, he lifts heavy and heavier than I can lift. I started asking myself.. howcome this old guy that barely have any muscles, is able to lift heavier then I can? It turns out he lifts wrong, doesn&#8217;t even contract his muscles half the way. No wonder he doesn&#8217;t look muscular or fit.</p>
<p>The key in lifting weights is doing it the right way, and slowly improving the more your do it. It doesn&#8217;t matter if the guy next to you is lifting heavier, it&#8217;s all about doing it the right way.</p>
