Every time I think about the absurd things I used to do from a nutritional standpoint, I can\u2019t help but laugh. In my defense, the landscape was totally different 10 years ago. Luckily, there\u2019s more than enough research to support that good nutrition is actually pretty darn simple. I know, right?<\/p>\n
Groundbreaking. This is why I really wish people would stop overthinking this part and realize there\u2019s no magic behind eliminating a certain food group.<\/p>\n
The training front on the other hand, while one could argue the same, there are many variables to consider. Your anatomy and injury history, exercise selection, setup, execution\u2014they all matter. And beyond that, how you sequence your workout is a variable that is becoming quite important in the context of maximizing progress and mitigating fatigue. In fact, that\u2019s the one glaring mistake being made with beginners. They do way too much than is needed. More reps per set, or going crazy by adding more drop sets, and more HIIT workouts isn\u2019t the answer. I\u2019m not saying to treat yourself like a delicate flower. However, with what we know now seldom do we need to be doing a boatload of volume to make legitimate gains.<\/p>\n
The key point I\u2019m making is, there\u2019s a lot more thought that goes into a plan that is truly results-oriented. What drives sound training is very individual\u2014and letting soreness and fatigue dictate the effectiveness of your workout is outdated and not very smart. This may seem oversimplified, but there\u2019s a world of difference between getting tired and getting better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
