Inputs vs Outputs: Train With Intent
One of the biggest mistakes I see — in athletes and executives — is confusing activity with progress.
You don’t get results from random effort.
You get results from aligned inputs producing intentional outputs.
Let’s break this down:
1️⃣ Training Inputs → Desired Outputs
Every system adapts to what you feed it.
If your desired output is:
- Higher HRV
- Increased force production
- Better body composition
- Clearer thinking
- More disciplined execution
Then your training inputs must match that outcome.
Volume. Intensity. Frequency. Recovery.
They are not random. They are justified by the output you want.
If the output doesn’t change — your inputs need adjusting.
2️⃣ Plan Backwards From the Output
Most people organize their week around what they feel like doing.
Professionals organize around:
“What must this system become?”
Start with the output.
Then justify every input.
If it doesn’t support the mission — it doesn’t belong.
3️⃣ Execution > Ideas
Planning is necessary.
But execution is what transforms.
• Focus on the quality of each rep
• Track volume honestly
• Apply real effort
• Measure what matters
Intensity without intention is wasted.
Effort with alignment is powerful.
4️⃣ Block Time. Protect Focus.
Output improves when attention improves.
Structure time blocks.
Eliminate distraction.
Stay on the task until the output is achieved.
Focus is a skill. Train it.
5️⃣ Enjoy the Growth Process
Progress is earned slowly.
Systems adapt gradually.
Don’t resent the process — respect it.
Growth is uncomfortable because it demands alignment, discipline, and patience.
But that’s where strength is built.
If you’re serious about building a resilient, high-performing system —
start by asking:
What output am I truly chasing?
Then align everything around it.
Have a blessed day!
