Sabotage your results

Question

HiIn a book about belly muscles the author writes how to train your abs. He writes for example: The point is that you have to remain consistent and you can’t give up. You have to keep plugging away, even when people, or you, try to sabotage your results.I'm not sure I understand it. I would say that someone can try to sabotage your efforts and not results?Also: Can I sabotage my results myself because it says "or you, try to sabotage your results". Does it make sense?

Well the books is about bodybuilding so I guess sabotaging your result is sabotaging the level you have reached by quitting or not being consistently working. That realy should sabotage one's muscles

It makes sense. You can sabotage your results (i.e. the results you have achieved up to this point) by stopping your exercise regimen or by beginning to overeat or by taking the advice of people who don't have your best interests at heart.

NewguestI would say that someone can try to sabotage your efforts and not results?

You can indeed say this. It's perfectly correct.

In the context of a book on exercise the meaning of both versions is the same.
