“Gym progress feels great – moved to 3 sets of Squats/deads last week so have now done this for two sessions. Strength gains have been felt naturally across a few lifts in the past couple of weeks, and I now feel as though my ‘foundational muscles’ relating to Squat/Dead are now solid enough that I can consistently increase the weight (ie. I feel sort of out the beginner stage where I really need to take it easy on squats/deads to protect my body). I am getting some small gains muscle wise and feel I’ve turned a small corner.”

You might look at that and think it’s fairly unimpressive. Doubly so when I tell you the two of us have been working together for knocking on the door of three months now.
However.
This is precisely the sort of result someone who is new or returning to training can expect from safe, sustainable methods.
Nothing dramatic nor flashy to brag about to your friends or show off on social media. Just the quiet confidence that only comes from knowing you are doing the needful every single day.
Moreover, because this chap now has a modestly effective and, critically, unobtrusive system for getting strong and in shape it’s overwhelmingly likely that he will continue to enjoy these little wins week by week, month by month, year by year eventually becoming unrecognisable from the man he is today. (And he is already a stellar fellow.)
In so doing, he is setting the best possible example for his family to follow. Potentially resulting in them all becoming fitter, stronger, healthier, and happier as they emulate his efforts.
Certainly beats slaving away in the gym five or more times per week, measuring every morsel of food, missing out on stuff that interferes with diet and training (like having coffee and cake or taking a spontaneous trip away), as almost always happens with methods that produce substantial changes more quickly.
Personally, I prefer my way of doing things (although I would say that because I sell them for a living).
But I have found that serious men (and the occasional woman) tend to think as I do.
If that is you, I heartily recommend you give due consideration to joining this anonymous gentleman by subscribing to “The Phil Tyreman Letter”.
March’s issue goes deep into the art of successfully integrating running into your training regime, so you can enjoy shorter (and more productive) workouts, a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, and lower odds of a premature death among other things.
As well as the newsletter you will get:
* Unfettered access to me via text, email, and voice note for any and all training queries (e.g. programming adjustments, form critiques, instructional videos, moral support, etc.).
* A book that I reserve only for newsletter subscribers (because it contains certain teachings only people who are fully “bought in” to what I am about will be able to read without calling for the book to be burned, much less benefit from).
* Various extra pieces of useful information from time to time (articles, videos, and audio).
The deadline to get March’s running-centric issue looms large, so make haste to the below page if you are interested.
I added an audio recording to that page yesterday, which is certainly worth a listen if you are on the fence:
