One Difficult Thing

0 Comments

To make big progress you need to include something that is difficult or that you suck at, in your training. Of course I could rave about how this applies to life too, but that is not what this post is about, and I’m not interested in putting you all to sleep.
 
I’ll you myself for a quick example, the  post below of me doing 90/90 stretches and hip switches. For those that don’t know, I’m built a bit like the Tin Man, mobility tends to be my weak point, the hips being the biggest culprit of late. It’s improved, but I still need to get myself into some uncomfortable positions to help it improve. Of course, we all know cardio/conditioning isn’t my bag either, so that’s the second sucky part of my workout most weeks.

I’m all for keeping the barrier low to a degree to help everyone move more, no arguments out of here. For those that are looking to make a little more progress beyond that and are intentionally training, these difficult or sucky things are things that you’ll need to do to see more progress in your training.
 
For some of you, it may be a movement that is really forced feeling, like a squat for instance. The odds are, you’ll be squatting plenty in your program. Maybe a little bit to start, with an increased frequency as things improve. Could also be something as simple as, you run plenty, but don’t lift enough, time to include it more in your training. That's it for today my friends. Thanks for reading and feel free to reach out with questions, comments or feedback otherwise.
