This method
That method
Which method to pick?
After reading this post you won't need to watch any more videos on "optimizing" your training
The important pillars
- Splitting your training to certain goals, 1 hypetrophy phase, 1 strength, 1 high intensity low volume week etc
- Progressive overload, how are you getting stronger otherwise...?
- Decent habits outside training, no bad habits and some of the good ones brings you a long way, but not without:
- Consistency, this is the answer no one wants to hear, so they spend time "optimizing" their training to give an excuse to slacking on other stuff (e.g. sleep)
- Always keeping your goals in mind, nothing will "replace" training specifically for that goal, this highly applies in skills / strength training
Go live a freaking life outside training, so you actually feel pumped for the gym
Think about it all the time, but don't do it literally ALL the time
No joke:
You'll make more progress if you don't watch these optimization and ultra specific videos and simply show up while following these basic pillars
And with that extra time invest it into yourself, meditation, actual sleep, going out with friends (in healthy ways) and connecting with family are all so so so much better for you than staying in your "research" cave
