Factors You Miss

In the rush of our quest to achieve results we desire we often forget to take a second to think deeply on what we are asking of the body. What I have figured out over the years of training is the body achieves results faster when we wave intensities as opposed to constant increase. Whats this mean? It means that training has to be planned out over weeks and months not just days.

Another factor we tend to forget is that nutrition as a whole is not a series of different ideas thrown together based on what we did in training. Nutrition is meant to be a constant source of nutrients for the body to repair, gain energy and function correctly. What I’m driving at here is the idea of constant so as opposed to thinking of what you are going to eat when you start feeling hungry we should plan this out by already having our food within reach. Is this a perfect way to always hit your goals? Actually yes. Measure, produce (cook or otherwise prepare) and then enjoy. Far too often this is a huge limiting factor in achieving results in not only weight loss but strength as well.

Our last factor…ready?

Being in generally good shape before training for anything specific.

But Greg isnt that why we are in the gym?

Yes but check this out. Why are we max deadlifting before we even know how to recruit many of the muscle groups involved? This is a recipe for disaster. Be healthy and in good health before adding other stressors on your body. Your body will respond better!
