1. Create a system that works for you. Decide when and where you will train. Look at your location and ask, "When am I most likely to be successful?" In the morning. At night. Lunches. What is better. Work with your schedule, not against it.
  2. Stop trusting the request and start trusting the discipline. Not always trained competence. But the truth is that no one has. Motivation gets us started, but it always ends. Never depend on her.
  3. Choose a strength training program. Does not matter which. It's easy to glide too much. But the truth is that they all work. You just need to focus on one of them.
  4. Focus on compound lifts:
  • Squat
  • Deadlift
  • Flat + inclined bench
  • Bench press
  • Surveys
80% of your results will come from these exercises.
  1. Treine tudo.
Sim, isto significa que não evite as pernas.
E acredita em mim, as mulheres gostam tanto de pernas como de bíceps.
Orgulhe-se de construir tudo, não apenas o que está à mostra.
  1. Change of identity.
The goal is not to get muscular, it is to become an athlete.
When we think of ourselves as such, we do not depend on motivation.
You know how to act because you know who you are.
When in doubt, just ask: "What would an athlete do?"
  1. Never fail twice.
You're not perfect. You will miss training.
Most people beat themselves up about this, but accept that you will miss a session here and there.
Failing two creates a pattern. Make it a rule to never miss twice.
From my experience is important to change your mind/mindset about training before you can change your body. Start small, nice and simple, very achievable and give yourself some easy wins early on to build some momentum. To create a habit you need repetition, which means an easy routine that you can build on later as the improvements and endorphins start kicking in. Once you've created the habit, your training will be like brushing your teeth, which is to say a habit you repeat daily that doesn't require any thought. Reduce as much friction between you and training as you can. The biggest indicators of performance of any kind is volume and consistency. Develop consistency first, then add volume. Make sure you do something on the days you don't feel like it, even if it's something small, it builds resilience, which builds consistency, which brings results. It's never too late, you're never too old and even a small step is a step forward
Sorry bit of a rant but I enjoy training and the psychology behind the motivation if it. Been training regularly in one form or another for over 25 years
