Client to me today: “yeah but it’s different because you love to exercise”
Me to the client: “no, I love to be healthy, and I realize it’s just a part of what must be done”
Huge difference.
A mindset shift is the most important part of getting/being healthy
No taint warmups for todays squats, just squatted to warmup for squats
@EDayWorkoutMan @sam_gzstrength
Super light squats, 255x5 at RPE 0 and finished off with 145x20.
3 mile run tomorrow, and a 4 miler on Saturday!

Consistency + drive will always beat what’s optimal
You can strive for what’s optimal later
If you’re not putting in the work consistently, there is no optimal

STRENGTH STANDARDS:
Squat: More than you did 6 months ago
Deadlift: More than you did 6 months ago
Bench: More than you did 6 months ago
Press: More than you did 6 months ago
Chin-ups: More than you did 6 months ago
Measure progress against yourself.
Not others.

Everybody knows maintenance is easier than building
Don’t let some Gainz-oil salesman trick you into thinking otherwise
Getting Jacked to the gills is NOT done in 20 minute sessions 3days/week
Try Harder.
Believe in yourself
PUT IN THE WORK!
Lifting and running are such different beasts
In lifting, the first 6 months are about pushing yourself each rep to try and lift the most weight possible.
I’m running, your first 6 months are focused on maintaining a low heart rate to build your base.
Polar opposites.

I started strength training because I wanted it to improve my performance in sports.
Recently, I’ve been taking up volleyball
I still suck at majority of things, but my baseline is much higher because of training in all the compound lifts
Strength training is king

People’s problems usually start far before the outcome
If you gained 10 pounds, it’s not because of your last few days of eating out and drinks
It’s the constant binging habits were never tackled

I’m working on staying consistent with things I completely suck at
I mean things I absolutely HATE doing
Take running
I’m that kid who finished last every race
So now I’m gonna reverse that
Keeping this here to hold myself accountable

X (Twitter) has really levelled up
There’s so many legit fitness accounts out there
Any badass people that I should be following and learning from?

"All it takes is consistency in the gym to get strong" is not entirely true
After a few years, it takes proper programming, nutrition + ruthless prioritization
If you want to continuously improve, you've got to work hard AND smart
