Episode notes
Follow The Program As Designed
- If you follow a program, follow it exactly before declaring it failed.
- Don't change parameters prematurely; trust proven program design and test it first.
The Stimulus Addiction Problem
- Many trainees are 'stimulus junkies' who chase the feeling of working out rather than results.
- This habit leads to adding unnecessary work and program-hopping instead of disciplined progress.
Use Off-Days Wisely
- On off-days, 'go live your life' or rest; don't compulsively train without need.
- If energy persists, work harder during on-days or add light, complementary activities like walking.
