I remember a time when I was with a friend of mine, we were talking about different fitness plans and ways to get that "beach body" for the occasions when we find ourselves placed on the "skins" team, invited to pool parties, or near a high school (just kidding). A funny thing happened as we were talking about different exercise plans, suddenly a fat guy turns as if our conversation found it's way into his ear, and he starts giving us fitness tips.
"Man you gotta do some squats"
Ok guy.
I'm a polite guy so I just nodded along with a half smile on my face and took his advice, and I'm not downplaying the value of squats, but sometimes if you aren't in a position to be giving advice on something, don't do it. I'm not going to give somebody advice on navigating through the rain forest because I've never done it, nor will I give advice on the perfect baby shower gifts. I will, however, give advice on how to be a "Badass Mother F*cker" (step 1: wear tan socks).
I believe that a person can know a lot about something without necessarily doing it (that fancy book learnin'), but nobody wants to take fitness tips from a fat guy, even if he wrote the manual.
Now let me tell you what it's like to be Guatemalan...
