After yesterday’s dalliance into the sociopolitical, let us return to the topic you are likely most interested in hearing from me about:
Training.
Specifically, building muscle and strength without “chemical help” – potentially so efficiently and effectively some begin to question your natural status.
Something that is certainly possible, with the right attitude and approach.
To wit, plenty of people I speak with tell me they quickly tire of doing broadly the same thing over and over again.
Some just get bored and stop training altogether, while others ping pong between different programmes.
Same thing happens either way – they make very little progress, despite training very hard.
What we have here is a classic “attitude and approach” problem.
They believe, to a greater or lesser degree, that training ought to be fun and this informs their choices (quitting training or else switching things up when they get bored).
As understandable as this is, it’s not at all conducive to getting outstanding results or even any results a lot of the time.
Doubly so if you’re training naturally because you’re not abusing substances that blast your testosterone levels into the stratosphere, making it so your body responds to the most nonsensical programmes and even builds a bunch of muscle without training at all as numerous studies have shown. (That last point really irritates juiceheads who like to pretend they work just as hard as everyone else for their results).
What to do instead?
The same old, proven exercises week in, week out for years, I’m afraid.
For context: I’ve trained nothing but the same handful of lifts and their close variations for knocking on the door of a decade and a half to get what I’ve got.
Those I know who have achieved what I have (without gear) all do the same, without exception.
You know what I’ve never seen?
Anyone whose approach to training mirrors a leaf being blown about in a hurricane achieve much of consequence – unless they’re taking drugs. And drugs or not, rarely do they stick around for more than a year or so.
I know the plural of anecdote is not data, but sometimes you don’t need peer-reviewed studies when you have a functioning pair of eyeballs.
Given the above, you won’t be at all surprised to learn that the weightlifting component of “Silver Era Secrets” is, ultimately, built around doing roughly the same things over and over and over and over again.
Something to keep in mind before applying if your absence of focus and discipline in the gym would make those people on social media who “identify” as having ADHD jealous.
Unless you want to conquer that particular problem, in which case it’s right up your street.
