Does intensity or consistency matter? Well, they both matter. In fact, you need to be intense with

your training, pushing close to failure, up to an including failure, and you need to be consistent

with that. So how do you train super hard and also be consistent? How do you not do too much? How do you not

get injured? How do you not push yourself so hard that you kind of burn out? Well, that's where we come in. That's where the SWOLFAM comes in. That's what proper program design and proper nutrition and proper recovery and all these other factors. That's where they come in because you need both. You got to be consistent. That's pillar number seven. Intensity is not on the pillars. You have community, you have

training, you have nutrition, you have all the other seven pillars, but you don't have

intensity, but you have consistency. So intensity feels good. You're pushing hard. You're going

towards your limits with an exercise or with cardio, whatever you're doing for your training.

But consistency is what is going to stack those wins. Doing that consistently. So you can have a

great workout. You can have a great meal. You can get all your pillars done on one day or for one

week. But if you don't do it week after week, you're not going to get the progress. So it's one

thing to do it once, but then you got to do it again and again and again. So you have to set yourself up for success to be intense and to train intensely on a consistent basis. Having one hard workout ain't going to do it. Eating one good meal ain't going to do it. It's doing it when you don't feel like it. It's setting yourself up for success.

So you can't avoid execution.

And some workouts are still going to be better than others,

but you give yourself more reps literally and figuratively.

You give yourself more shots at the title.

You give yourself more attempts.

And you don't need motivation.

You need execution.

You need discipline.

And you need that consistency.

So set yourself up for consistency. And that might mean in certain workouts, pulling back slightly on the intensity in order to be consistent. So the proximity to failure, that amount of intensity,

maybe it's not 100, maybe it's 98, maybe it's 99, maybe it's 90. You're leaving a rep in the tank. You're leaving two reps in the tank. You do a little less volume. It's like fine. But you have to be consistent. Otherwise, you're not going to make progress. You got to get stronger. But that's going to happen over time. One workout's not going to do it. So you have to have that system. And that's why the seven pillars exist. And that's why the Swolormus app has everything that we need because you need that system.
