In life you need to work both hard and smart.
Think of science as working smart, it points us in the right direction.
The worst thing in the world is showing up to the gym and doing things that are completely insufficient and suboptimal. Let’s say you have 3-5 hours to workout in the gym per week, you want to make that time as impactful as possible.
Science allows that to happen. It points us in the right direction.
However, you still need to work hard. And oftentimes the scientific community struggles with paralysis through analysis. They’re always searching for optimal or the exact formula rather than just getting down and dirty and training intensely.
To be truly successful in life you need to take both a scientific approach as well as an intense approach to training.
I build out my programs months ahead of time and make calculated decisions focusing on exercises that are very effective for building muscle and that work great for me. And at the same time, once I show up to the gym: it’s go time. I am going to push myself to get that last rep, I am going to force myself week-over-week to PR at least one exercise per gym session.
If I were to leave the gym knowing I could’ve gotten a couple more reps in a set, it would literally bother me the rest of the day.
Maybe you don’t take it this seriously, and that’s okay, but if you want to be truly successful in the gym, especially when resources such as time are limited, you need to work both hard and smart.
