Was your purpose to tell someone things they probably already knew, or were you trying to encourage them? It came off as the former, but the advice is solid - if it came with some empathy.

If you think any of those things are easy, I disagree. To someone with the wrong genetics or habits, you may as well suggest growing a foot taller.

They're not easy. They certainly weren't easy for me, but I'm putting in the work and seeing results. My genetics and habits aren't that great either, but habits can be fixed and genetics are a cop-out. Am I gonna end up jacked like a Hollywood action star? No, but that's not genetics; that's money and steroids.
