Consistency Is Evil … Sometimes

Posted by Nick Horton | 2 comments

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that, “Consistency is the Hobgoblin of little minds.”

Was he talking about Spiderman’s arch enemy?

Probably … but he was also likely talking about the tendency of humans to stick to shit they should NOT stick too … simply because they always have.

In this video I discuss such esoteric awesomeness, and how it all relates to your strength training:

No Dying! Why Being Lazy Can Save Your Life … In Weightlifting

The biggest mistake that beginners make (as I told you last week) is that they don’t stick to a plan.

Intermediates are really just those few people who went through their beginner training RIGHT and DID stick to the plan. So … congrats if that’s you!!

You stuck to the plan and got some solid results. Sweet!

The problem is that you ain’t no beginner no mo. With this new level of advancement comes a new layer of complexity to your programming. Hammering out the same thing day-in and day-out isn’t going to work the way that it once did.

You need a bit of Ebb and Flow … and just a touch of laziness thrown in for good measure

Question of the day is whether 2 different people (like training partners) should do the exact same workout.

I mean … you are both really similar, same age, the weights you lift are similar, and even your lifestyles are pretty similar … so you SHOULD be able to both make progress at the SAME rate on the same routine … right?

Wrong.
