As you go through your quote unquote fitness journey, you're going to have times where you want to stop what you're doing. You want to punch out. Or do you work on tweaking fix or eliminate? Improve or ditch. How do you know if what you're doing is just not working yet, not going to work at all, or you're doing it wrong.

A lot of people stop doing.

They start doing something and they actually stop before they'll see results.

They're about to see results or they're going to see results soon and they stop before they

would actually see those results.

They stop just before they were going to start making progress.

Much more rare, most people just don't even do it right. And doing it long enough or staying consistent with

something is not just about doing it right, but the fundamental aspect of doing it, period,

is what allows you to get it right.

So when you start dieting or paying attention to what you eat and you do it for three weeks

and, oh, I'm messing the results that I want, okay, well, you don't find out how to get the results

you want.

You're still learning in three weeks or a month.

It's not that long. You still have to learn all those habits. People go to the supermarket one fucking time and make different choices one time. And they think, well, that's it. I tried it. It didn't work that well. I didn't like these foods. You have to do it every time you shop. If you shop once a week, two weeks, sometimes you should people, some people shop small

and more micro every couple days, sometimes do a bigger shop, sometimes you order a bunch of food

online. Everyone shops a little bit differently. Everyone gathers food and does their thing a little bit

differently. But the act of practicing. So you start exercising. I didn't see results in the first 90

days. I trained for about a year. I got really lean and skinny. And I got, I built some muscle, but I got really lean and ripped. I didn't bulk like I didn't put as much mass. I got shredded. I didn't like that because I was trying to bulk up. I was already too skinny at the time. The goal was to bulk up. So it took me a year. It took me a whole year, my freshman year in college to figure out, oh, everything that I was doing, maybe some of the things were good. I was lifting. I was going to the gym. Longer workouts, too much cardio, not enough carbohydrates. I wasn't eating enough food. I was trying to get abs. And you guys know that you can can't really bulk and get abs at the same time. It's much more, maybe when you get more advanced, you can maintain and kind of lean bulk. But at the beginning, you don't have the skills. You don't have the fine tuning. And I did this 20, almost 30 years ago. So this is before there was so much more access. I was getting specific information from specific sources and it wasn't as easy

to come across. It was actually better probably because you didn't get all the extra bullshit with it.

You had a lot more of the fundamentals and lift weights and but you know, you had to go watch

pumping iron and all these old school bodybuilding videos and but we had Ronnie Coleman and Dorman and dorian yates and all that so the information

on how to get big and how to get jacked was already out there but you had to you have to go through
