"Be disciplined and consistent; results will follow"
About this Quote
The intent is practical: anchor an athlete’s attention on inputs, not moods. Discipline is the ability to act when you don’t feel like it; consistency is doing it again when yesterday’s effort didn’t produce fireworks. That pairing matters because bodybuilding rewards delayed gratification in a way few arenas do. You can train perfectly for a month and look unchanged, then suddenly tighten up, pop, or plateau depending on variables you can’t fully control. The quote is a coping mechanism for that lag, a way to keep faith without pretending the process is glamorous.
The subtext also pushes back against modern fitness culture’s obsession with shortcuts and aesthetics as instant identity. Bonac’s career context - a pro circuit built on relentless routine, travel, and judging that can feel subjective - makes “results will follow” less like certainty and more like probabilistic truth. You’re not owed the outcome, but this is the only path that makes outcomes even possible.
