A great trainer makes every session of the same old exercises feel like fun.

Doing the basics done well consistently over time > everything.

It just highlights the importance of delaying gratification toward a goal.

Regarding strength training, the most crucial principle of adaptation is “progressive overload.”

In non-science jargon: Getting better, slowly, progressively over time.

And it’s hard to get better at something when you’re doing different stuff every day.

Please don’t fall for the hype of flashy workouts because you saw someone do it on TikTok or Instagram.

Too much mixing things up or even “confusing your muscle groups” by doing the latest trend of blah blah is a surefire way of not seeing any progress.

We see videos in our feed not because these videos are meant to help us or are healthy for us but because of the social algorithm.

This is why so many people quit early on and get frustrated by their lack of results in the gym.

I understand, though.

The slow grind of bettering yourself is not sexy.
