Training Consistency.

Consistency

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a typical scenario that applied to a large percentage of the lifters reading this post, and a SUPER LARGE percentage of the guys reading this that get piss-poor results.

You get all psyched up about your training. By the latest copy of your favorite lifting mag, go to the online forums, read the success stories about others, and decide this time you are going to REALLY make it happen. You put together the “ultimate” routine and have at it. And it starts working! The weights are going up and you are stoked! Then, little Jenny has to go to the doctors and your wife can’t take her, or you get behind on studies in school and “have to” miss your workout, or one of the million things that come up in life. So, you miss a workout, no big deal. Next week something else comes up and just as fast as you built up all the excitement about your new routine, you lose momentum psychologically. And all of a sudden you find yourself trading the protein shake and banana for a big-Mac and fries, and……..right down the toilet things go.

The good part is, it doesn’t last long, and you soon find yourself getting excited about your training again and take another pass at the “big results” you know you can achieve. But the same old vicious circle starts again. Most guys end up doing the right thing about ½ or less of the time and then ***** about results. This game is about doing the right things each and every day on a consistent basis. The gym is the easy part. Fueling the process is a full-time job that most never really get into the groove of.

Most of you would be totally amazed at the results you could achieve if you put just a whole year back to back of doing the right things every day. Many of you never put a month together of doing the right things. Get consistent, get results!

I'm a great believer in consistancy and patience. It sometimes takes a lifetime to learn and some never do get the total picture. It's great to be enthused but not to the point where you burn out in a short periord of time.

I see this from people all the time. I try to tell them, hey don't eat that crap. They tell me it doesn't hurt to eat it once in a while, but it ends up being all the time. After this they stop working out and go back to being fat.
