In the world of sports, no

Hard work will bring you no where, if hard work works, no body need a specialist coach.

Smart work brings results.

Curling biceps 100 reps a day, everyday ( hard work) is not gonna give you better result than curling 50 reps, 2 times a week.

With hard work, you will reach plateau, with smart work and smart programing ( linear, step, wave, i bet ya dont know these) , you will breaks plateau.

Train smart, not train hard.

Yeah I agree with that. Also by saying training hard I don't mean training blindly.
Thanks for the heads up. You surely have more knowledge than I do.

just a suggestion...usually ppl get attracted to what their eyes see..
i like what you're doing, and you seem humble.
but a pic of yourself would immediately earn both respect and interest.
unless u're not too confident about how you look which is completely fine (aren't most of us)...then perhaps a different business would be more suitable.
