The more years I spend training, the more I realise it’s supposed to be fun 🤝
There’s so much information online about optimal volume, frequency, exercise selection and what you should or shouldn’t be doing that it’s so easy to get lost in it all 🧠
I’ve noticed when I try to make everything perfect, follow set exercises because I feel like I have to, or worry too much about whether I’m doing the optimal amount of volume, I just don’t enjoy training as much.
Yes, volume matters. Progression matters. Recovery matters. But enjoying what you’re doing matters too 💪🏼
I’m learning to judge my training more by how I actually feel. If I’m recovering, progressing, connecting with the movements and looking forward to my sessions, I’m probably doing something right 📈
Some exercises might need more sets, others might need less. Some movements might be great on paper but if you hate doing them, there are plenty of other options.
Do exercises you enjoy. Train hard. Listen to your body. Progress where you can 🔥
Use the science as a guide, not a rulebook.
After all these years of training, I’m realising that sometimes the best thing you can do is stop chasing perfect and start enjoying your training again 🤝
