Yeah, I do that all the time. Compare myself to both pro bbers and pro powerlifters, and find out I'm nothing special on either end. And--it's not just because I don't do steroids. I could do every high tech steroid ever developed and still couldn't reach those guys.
Anyway, making the comparisons is good for you, keeps your head in check. There is an old saying started by Dave Tate or somebody that goes something like "it's always the guys who work out alone in their garages or in their small hometown gyms who are the cockiest. They haven't ever stepped out and competed to find out there will always be someone out there who is better."</div>
Tate is an excellent strength coach....he has the heart of a champion.
He is an ideal role model for any lifter, wether powerlifter, olympic lifter, or bodybuilder. He has a humble attitude combined with enormous willpower and ability. Adopting his kind of attitude will get any lifter far in life.
