According to Albritton, a philosopher who believes that our wills are perfectly free with no restrictions whatsoever("There is no such thing as an unfree will"), in order to try something, there has to be a likelihood of success. We can't "try" to jump over a building when we're not Superman or try to do 50 push-ups when we never work out. Both Devon Belcher and Shiralee Brindell, a married couple of philosophy instructors at CU, believe in some circumstances, there's nothing you can physically do that would actually count as "trying." In some cases, sadly there may end up being a vast disconnect between the will and the action.
