It’s understandably hard to not have the same mindset as everything else on social media when consuming fitness “education” on it: we want impactful, novel, dramatic information ASAP 🤯

🥄 We want to be spoon fed rules to follow, so we can pick an ethos and stance to believe in. It’s much easier to push ourselves hard if we’re training with assured passion for how we’re doing so.

Anyone who says “never” or “always” just screams of being a researcher or content producer who hasn’t actually worked with people outside of the bell curve of the population. Sure, everything works if one’s only clientele are the genetically gifted, experienced demographic of competitive athletes, but a closed mind will come up short when presented with old, injured, uncoordinated or obese populations.
