I would love to know hether or not his drive/dedication to lifting is genetic or was his upbringing just that much better than mine.
I don't know anything about Chase Lindley, but I find it interesting that the two reasons you can come up with to explain his superior drive and dedication somehow completely abdicate yourself of any responsibility for your own. Drive and dedication is developed over time, and something we all have complete control over - referencing genetics or upbringing just sounds like a copout. My guess is he's just a human who set some goals and is now pursuing them.

I find it interesting you read so much into my comment and assumed I don’t take personal responsibility!!!! Probably shouldn’t have posted it seeing as I have two responses that are so gosh darned negative! Thanks for the lesson sir!
Honestly, it was really supposed to be a compliment to a person I’ve never met based off the opinions of other people I’ve never met.
I do think it’s interesting though to take data down on people that show an incredible will power. In my line of work/experience, some people have shit upbringings and work harder than anyone else(genetic?? I don’t know), but more often than not you’ll see below average people working their asses off because of knowledge that their parents or solid mentors passed down.
I don’t collect these little tidbits for any real reason, just for my own personal working theory of the world. Maybe Mr. Lindley got lucky with his genes, maybe he got lucky with his upbringing, maybe it was both, and maybe it was neither. It’s just an interesting data point for my own edification.
To answer your question, I won’t do anything with or without this information. I’m still going to show up to the gym on schedule, crush my workouts, and continue to work around the elbow pain I can’t seem to shake.
How much of a benefit is insulin?
Find his episode on the Barbell Logic Podcast and listen to that.
He may be on a couple of them actually.
