Consistency.
People usually track their training age as when they started training until now. Sometimes there are obvious breaks in time from when you start lifting but more often what happens is your training has ups and downs.
You don’t train hard for the whole 5 years you’ve been training, you probably trained hard for about 3 of them.
Sometimes you train hard and you have a lot of focus and don’t miss a session. Sometimes you average doing 2-3 out of 4 sessions a week and you’re just going through the motions.
When things aren’t fully dialled in, you can’t expect to get the same results as when they are.
But that’s okay!
Consistency is where your best gains will be made - but in order to have these great stretches of training where you’re very consistent sometimes you have to pull back and let yourself lose consistency.
To be have productive, hard, consistent training you have to have periods of fun, lower effort, less focused training.
Let it happen. Just don’t quit and you’ll get where you want to be.
