NATURAL PROGRESSION

You could try to be perfectly optimal or you could progress more naturally 🤷‍♂️

Trying to do everything exactly right just gets in the way of real progress.

In recovery, we say “don’t sacrifice progress for perfection.”

You’re not going to be perfect.

This applies to fitness as well.

You’re never going to be perfectly optimal!

It’s good to train smart, but how do you train smart before you know how to train??

Progress comes slow. If you try developing everything simultaneously with a diversified workout split with optimal set and rep ranges that incorporates mobility training right out of the gate you will fail.

A good alternative and more natural progression:

1. Pick a few aspects of your physique you’d like to develop and focus on them one season at a time.
2. Pick something new and repeat focusing and concentrating your efforts in this way for a few seasons.
3. Do this until you’ve just about covered your whole physique… then roll it all into a workout split.
4. Maintain this workout split. Now focus on a small handful of big compound movements that train muscle groups rather than individual muscles. Hit high sets and high reps.
5. Once you’ve mastered this split add a more diverse array of exercises if you please.
6. If you choose to diversify, this will necessitate a smaller more “optimal” number of sets of each exercise.
6. Incorporate some serious mobility training and perhaps even calisthenics into your more advanced and diversified split.

You see how you get optimal as you go?

At each new level you never spread yourself thin because you are always progressing at a comfortable rate that allows you to acclimatize.

With this approach you develop a deep familiarity with each exercise. You go from doing the same thing every day, to doing high sets and high reps of the same exercise in a workout split. You only divide your attention with a diversified program once you can… because by this point you will have a deep mind muscle connection and a deep understanding of all the fundamentals through high repetition.

I’m changing my workout routine because of your videos. Gonna start building strength so I can lift comfortably. Also I’ve went too heavy in the past and got injured

I eat the same thing every day. It’s taken me years to perfect it. Why would I change it!.

What weight of dumbbell do you use for curls?

I like to switch it up and my body gets better results. I respect you a lot and truly appreciate your message. But I've noticed that if I switch between cardio, lifting and yoga and then rest my gains are much better. But I have been doing your dailys and I've noticed a strength change but not much definition. I think your program depends on age and health. I'm only saying this because you're young yet. Not every program works for one single person. I do admire your sobriety and dedication.
